Abstract

Hydrogenation-induced modification of magnetic properties has been widely studied. A Mg spacer layer with high hydrogen storage stability was clamped in a Pd/Co/Mg/Fe multilayer structure to enhance its hydrogen storage stability and explore the structure's magneto-transport properties. After 1 bar hydrogen exposure, the formation of a stable MgH2 phase was demonstrated in an ambient environment at room temperature through X-ray diffraction. Lower magnetic coupling and enhanced magnetoresistance, compared to those of the as-grown sample, were observed using the longitudinal magneto-optical Kerr effect and a four-probe measurement. In this study, the hydrogenation stability of ferromagnetic multilayers was improved, and the concept of a hydrogenation-based spintronic device was developed.
