Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A study of magnetization reversal processes in sputtered antiferromagnetically coupled (CoRe )×n multilayers, with n=2,3,5 is reported. The two components of the magnetization, parallel and perpendicular to the applied field are analyzed using a suitable transverse Kerr effect differential magneto-optical setup. At the remanent state, and for n=3, and 5, we obtain a magnetization of 1/3 and 1/5 of the saturation magnetization, respectively. This means that the magnetization in each layer is aligned parallel or antiparallel to the applied field direction. The observed perpendicular magnetization component is as expected, much smaller than the parallel magnetization component over the entire length of the hysteresis cycle. A Monte Carlo simulation was used to study the spin configurations in the individual layers as well as the type of magnetization hysteresis cycles. We find that the introduction of a small uniaxial anisotropy is needed to explain the observed multiloop structure in the n=3 multilayers. Within our model, spin-canting may occur within the ferromagnetic layers leading to particular remanent-state spin configurations.
