In- and out-of-plane magnetization profile in thin films and multilayers

Nanostructured magnetic materials are extensively studied for their unusual properties and applications, in particular in the field of magnetic recording and spintronics. The current magnetic devices consist of complex stacks of multi-element magnetic thin films with thicknesses on the nanometer scale. Their magnetic properties or their functionality depend crucially on the structure of the sta...

Magnetic field dependence of magnetization reversal behavior in CoÕPt multilayers

Magnetic field dependence of magnetization reversal in Co/Pt multilayers has been quantitatively investigated. Serial samples of Co/Pt multilayers have been prepared by dc magnetron sputtering under various Ar pressures. Magnetization reversal was monitored by magnetization viscosity measurement and direct domain observation using a magneto-optical microscope system. The wall-motion speed V and...

Magnetization and ordering temperature of films and multilayers

We investigate, in this paper, a number of magnetic properties of single and multilayer thin film systems within the Ising model by application of mean field, finite cluster approximations as well as by Monte Carlo simulations. The magnetization profiles and the magnetic ordering temperature are calculated for different magnetic systems. The influence of corrugation and disorder at the surface,...
