摘要
It is shown that Pd-coated multilayers built from alternating Gd and Mg layers go through an optical transition by variation of the hydrogen concentration. The multilayer structure is preserved during switching. The optical properties of these stacks are comparable to those of the Pd-coated GdMg alloys. By selecting appropriate multilayer periods, faster switches can be built when compared to alloys with a comparable Mg content. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(98)04539-2].
