Thin ferromagnetic films with in-plane magnetic anisotropy are promising materials for obtaining high microwave permeability. To produce a bulk massive sample from thin films, multi-layer films made of a number of many thin films may be used. The paper reports on an experimental study of microwave and static magnetic properties of multi-layer iron-based films and composite samples made of these. The multi-layer films under study are deposited onto a mylar substrate by a magnetron-sputtering process performed in Ar atmosphere with controlled N(2) admixture. The sputtered iron layers are alternated with SiO(2) layers. The measured static and microwave magnetic properties of the bulk sample are found to differ from the properties of constituent films. This is an evidence for strong interactions between the magnetic layers in the sample, which interact at distances exceeding greatly the distance between adjacent magnetic layers. A theoretic model is developed to account for magneto-dipole interactions between iron films in a multi-layer system. The model explains the anomalously high demagnetization field of the sample observed in the measurements.
