【Abstract】 Mn/Sb multilayer films were grown on (100) GaAs substrate by an ultrahigh vacuum evaporation system and were annealed for a short time. The magnetic and magneto optical properties were investigated for the samples unannealed and annealed, respectively. All unannealed Mn/Sb multilayer films exhibit strong ferromagnetic properties and the easy magnetization axes are in plane. The surface of the samples consists of dense islands. The longitudinal ( H ∥ plane) Kerr effect was not observed for the unannealed samples. All samples annealed at 350℃ for 20min were found to be single phase with nickel arsenide (NiAs) crystal structure and have the largest saturation magnetization M s and the lowest coercive force H c . The magnetic force microscope image shows uniform ferromagnetic properties of the film. The longitudinal magneto optical Kerr effect was observed. The observable Kerr effect hysteresis loop can be obtained for the annealed Mn/Sb multilayer films on GaAs.更多还原
