Direct Magnetic Relief Recording Using As40S60: Mn–Se Nanocomposite Multilayer Structures

Abstract

Abstract Processes of holographic recording of surface relief structures using As2S3:Mn–Se multilayer nanostructures as registering media were studied in this paper. Optical properties of As2S3:Mn, Se layers, and As2S3:Mn–Se multilayer nanostructures were investigated. Values of optical bandgaps were obtained from Tauc dependencies. Surface relief diffraction gratings were recorded. Direct one-stage formation of surface relief using multilayer nanostructures is considered. For the first time, possibility of direct formation of magnetic relief simultaneous with surface relief formation under optical recording using As2S3:Mn–Se multilayer nanostructures is shown.
