Metallic Magnetic Superlattices
DOI: 10.1063/1.881350
Artificially made, ordered material systems are a pillar of late‐20th‐century advanced technology. In principle, metallic magnetic superlattices—also called magnetic multilayers—should exhibit more new and interesting physical effects than any other artificially made material system. This gives them the potential for many technological advances in information storage and retrieval and in the synthesis of new magnets for a variety of applications.
