Abstract

We present the static and dynamic results of engineered interlayer exchange coupled Ni80Fe20 (Py)/Ru continuous films and arrays of nanowires. We demonstrate a robust control of the coupling mechanism by varying the number of ferromagnetic layers and the thickness of Ru. We found that the antiferromagnetic coupling strength affects both the static and dynamic behaviors of the ferromagnetic layers (a strong antiferromagnetic coupling when the Ru thickness is 1 nm and negligible antiferromagnetic coupling when it is 1.4 nm). Most interestingly, multiple resonant modes were found for five-layer nanowires at remanence due to the interlayer exchange coupling. There is a good qualitative agreement between the experiment and the micromagnetic simulation. The results may suggest a novel way in the design of spintronic devices.
