Coercive force reduction effect in FeCoV and FeNi films due to ultrathin FeNiMo layer

The mechanism of the drastic coercive force reduction effect in essentially semi-hard FeCoV and FeNi films due to ultrathin FeNiMo layer has been examined. It is noted experimentally that a kind of a coupling of magnetic moments existing between ultrathin FeNiMo layer with anisotropic magnetization and semi-hard magnetic layer with anisotropic magnetization contributes to this drastic coercive force reducing effect.
