Abstract: FeNi multilayer films were prepared by EB-PVD technique. A modified TG-DSCapparatus was used to measure their Curie temperatures, which were around 760°C,lower than that of pure Fe thin films. The easy magnetization axis was in-plane. Hightemperature annealing in vacuum decreased the coercivity sharply. The saturationmagnetization also changed with heat treatment. After annealing at the temperatureequal to the substrate temperature during deposition, the saturation magnetizationdecreased.

Key words: multilayer film, EB-PVD, Curie transitiou point, saturationmagnetization, coercivity
