Abstract(s)

Co‐Re superlattices were prepared with nominal periodicities of 65–67 Å and varying bilayer composition. The structural characterization was made by x‐ray diffraction and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS). First, second, and third order satellites are observed in the x‐ray diffractogram at 2θ values and with intensities close to those predicted by simulation. This confirms the coherence of the superlattice. RBS measurements combined with RUMP simulations give information on interface sharpness and the absolute thicknesses of the Co and Re layers. Discrepancies between the experimental and simulated diffractograms are found for Co thicknesses below 18 Å.
