Abstract

The interlayer structure of a magnetic multilayer [Ni30Co70(5.6 Angstrom)/Au(15 Angstrom)](16) has been analyzed by low-angle X-ray diffraction (LXRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The values of total thickness, sublayer thickness, multilayer periodicity length, interface roughness and in-plane correlation length obtained by LXRD agree very well with the values received from a detail analysis of TEM micrographs and STM scans. The presented results confirm reliability of XRD structural parameters as derived from specular reflectivity, area scans and Omega scan data measurements, The comparison has been found very helpful in evaluation of a real physical meaning of these interlayer structural parameters.
