Abstract

X-ray, magnetism and electron loss spectroscopy data were obtained for a series of coherent Fe-Cu face-centred multilayers which suggest that there is a lattice parameter anomaly in the structure. The use of high resolution electron microscopy (HREM) and dark field imaging to measure spacing changes along the layer normal are compared. Experimental dark field images suggest that the Fe has expanded lattice spacings in the growth direction in contradiction to the predictions of a conventional elastic model for a coherent multilayer structure.
