Abstract

Grazing incidence x-ray scattering has been used to study interfacial intermixing in thin films of aluminum/transition metal bilayers grown by dc magnetron sputter deposition at room temperature. As with all transition metals, the ferromagnets Fe, Co and Ni have dramatically different interface widths between X/Al and Al/X (X = Fe,Co,Ni). Intermixing lengths are larger for X on Al than Al on X.
