Study of magneto-electric effect in multilayer structure of gallium arsenide-nickel-tin-nickel

The article contains the results of the magneto-electric effect study in a multilayer nickel-tin-nickel structure obtained by means of electroplating on a substrate of gallium arsenide. The paper describes the technology of manufacturing multilayer structures and experimental results of the frequency dependence of the magneto-electric effect. It is shown that the use of tin as an intermediate layer reduces mechanical stresses arising from the incommensurability of the phases which enables obtaining qualitative structures with a thickness of the nickel layer of the order of 70 microns. Resulting structures have good adhesion between the layers and a high Q-factor.
