Popis: The magnetic and magneto-optical properties of nanocrystalline Fe/Zr and Fe/Zr/Fe thin-film systems have been studied using the magneto-optical method. The strong effect of Zr layer thickness t Zr on the magnetic properties of Fe/Zr samples was discovered. It was found that the value of the saturation field of the Fe/Zr/Fe systems oscillates as a function of t Zr, which is explained by the oscillating character of the exchange interaction between ferromagnetic layers via a Zr spacer with the change in t Zr. It was established that the values of the transverse Kerr effect depend on the thicknesses of both magnetic and nonmagnetic layers.
