High moment coupled rare earth (Gd, Dy, Tb, and GdDy) and transition metal thin film laminates

This thesis evaluates the possibility of combining the high magnetic moment of the rare earth metals with the high Curie temperature transition metals to produce a material with a greater saturating magnetisation than FeCo at room temperature. Thin films of FeCo and Gd, Dy, GdDy, and Tb separated by...
