摘要
In this study, the time dependence of the magnetization process in amorphous TbFeCo thin films and (TbFeCo/Pt) multilayers is studied. By assuming a Gaussian distribution of relaxation times for magnetic aftereffect, the non-Arrhenius behavior of the magnetization decay is found in almost all of samples. From a fitting of experimental data one can determine the mean value of relaxation time tau (0) and also its width Delta tau (0). The multilayers of TbFeCo/Pt show a high stability compared to single layers of TbFeCo with also a small activation volume.
