Abstract
The B2 structure Fe50Co50 alloy is very attractive material as a large spin conductance asymmetry. In this study, we have tried to fabricate epitaxial Fe/Co superlattice with B2 structure. In order to investigate the relationship between the film structure and the substrate temperature, the films were prepared at different substrate temperature. The film structure of Fe/Co was evaluated by reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED). The in-plane lattice spacing gradually decreased to that of a bulk Fe50Co50 as increase in the number of layers. The B2 structure ordered phase of Fe/Co superlattice was successfully confirmed by RHEED and X-ray diffraction (XRD).
