Abstract
Structures formed by depositing different ferromagnetic thin metal films in direct contact with each other were found to display a square hysteresis loop without the step discontinuity usually associated with gross heterogeneous magnetic composites. The high-speed switching characteristics of a bilayer structure composed of an electroplated 97 Fe-3 Ni layer in contact with a uniaxially oriented 79 Ni-21 Fe electroplate were intensively investigated. The switching characteristics of the bilayer were compatible with a nucleation and growth mechanism.
