Negative coercivity in epitaxially grown (110) DyFe2/YFe2 superlattices
Negative coercivity in epitaxially grown (110) DyFe2/YFe2 superlattices
Molecular beam epitaxial methods have been used to grow single crystal Laves phase DyFe2 /YFe2 superlattice samples with a (110) growth direction. Detailed magnetization curves have been obtained for YFe2 dominated multilayer samples [wDyFe2/4wYFe2] x16 with w = 45, 50, and 55 Å. In particular, it is shown that the formation of magnetic exchange springs in the magnetically soft YFe2 layers, can be used to engineer multilayer samples with a negative coercivity. Further, by
using asymmetric field cycling procedures, we have investigated the irreversible parts of the M–B loop, associated with the switching of the DyFe2 multilayers.

Abstract
Molecular beam epitaxial methods have been used to grow single crystal Laves phase DyFe2 /YFe2 superlattice samples with a (110) growth direction. Detailed magnetization curves have been obtained for YFe2 dominated multilayer samples [wDyFe2/4wYFe2] x16 with w = 45, 50, and 55 Å. In particular, it is shown that the formation of magnetic exchange springs in the magnetically soft YFe2 layers, can be used to engineer multilayer samples with a negative coercivity. Further, by
using asymmetric field cycling procedures, we have investigated the irreversible parts of the M–B loop, associated with the switching of the DyFe2 multilayers.
