MAGNETO-OPTICAL EFFECT IN Co-BASED METALLIC LAYERED AND MULTILAYER FILMS

A preliminary investigation of the magneto-optical effect in Co-based metallic bilayer, trilayer and multilayer films has been carried out in this paper. Various sublayers of non-magnetic materials with different thicknesses were selected. The Kerr enhancement due to the reduction of effective optical constants in Co/Ag bilayers and multilayers has been achieved.
