Rezumat

The generation of the long-range triplet component of the superconducting pairing at noncollinear orientations of magnetizations in ferromagnetic layered systems is extensively studied in magnetic Josephson junctions (MJJ) [1,2] and superconductive spin valves (SSV) [3]. Palladium-iron (Pd1-xFex) alloy with x < 0.10 has strong practical interest for such MJJ and SSV structures as a material for weak ferromagnetic layers with tunable magnetic properties [4]. Therefore, it is useful to investigate the switching properties of Pd1-xFex films and heterostructures with the aim to create controllable non-collinear magnetic states. Single epitaxial film Pd0.92Fe0.08(20 nm) (hereinafter PdFe1) and epitaxial heterostructure Pd0.92Fe0.08(20 nm)/Ag(20 nm)/Pd0.94Fe0.04(20 nm) (hereinafter PdFe1/Ag/PdFe2) were grown using molecular beam deposition technique [5]. Detailed measurements of the magnetoresistance have shown that the PdFe1 epitaxial film, being an easy-plane ferromagnet with a pronounced in-plane anisotropy, undergoes magnetization switching between two (with collinear magnetization directions) or three (including orthogonal to the two directions noted above) single-domain states, depending on the direction of the applied magnetic field. This unconventional magnetization switching is a consequence of a combination of the fourfold magnetocrystalline anisotropy and additional uniaxial magnetic anisotropy in the film plane. The use of two magnetic layers PdFe1 and PdFe2 with different coercive fields, separated by a nonmagnetic spacer, makes it possible to obtain parallel, orthogonal, and antiparallel configurations of magnetic moments. It has been experimentally demonstrated that the PdFe1/Ag/PdFe2 heterostructure can be switched between three stable magnetic configurations in the film plane by rotating the magnetic moment of the soft magnetic layer with respect to the hard magnetic layer. Such a structure can serve as a magnetic actuator for switching an MJJ from the singlet conducting mode to the triplet conducting mode and vice versa.
