- In this paper, we report a direct observation of a magnetic proximity effect in an amorphous thin-film exchange-spring magnet by the use of neutron reflectometry. The exchange-spring magnet is a trilayer consisting of two ferromagnetic layers with high T-c separated by a ferromagnetic layer, which is engineered to have a significantly lower T-c than the embedding layers. This enables us to measure magnetization depth profiles at which the low-T-c material is in a ferromagnetic or paramagnetic state, while the embedding layers are ferromagnetic. A clear proximity effect is observed 7 K above the intrinsic T-c of the embedded layer, with a range extending 50 angstrom.
