Magnetism of U/Fe multilayers

Magnetic multilayers are known to have behaviour shaped by the intrinsic magnetic properties of their constituents and of their interactions. Multilayers composed of Uranium (5f electrons) and transition metal (3d electrons) provide the unique combination of a potentially large orbital moment with s...

Description
Summary:Magnetic multilayers are known to have behaviour shaped by the intrinsic magnetic properties of their constituents and of their interactions. Multilayers composed of Uranium (5f electrons) and transition metal (3d electrons) provide the unique combination of a potentially large orbital moment with strong electronic hybridisation effects between the extended 5f states and the strongly magnetic 3d states. In this study U/Fe multilayers with layer thicknesses 20 A ̊ < U
