چکیده

Permalloy with a body-centered-cubic structure has been grown on GaAs(001) by molecular beam epitaxy. Its magnetism, Curie temperature, and magnetic anisotropy are determined experimentally and compared to those of conventional face-centered-cubic Permalloy. Unexpectedly the vanishing magnetic cubic anisotropy in Permalloy is found to be independent of its atomic structure but depends only upon the stoichiometry of Fe and Ni in the FexNi1-x alloy. This observation is further investigated and confirmed by first-principles electronic band calculations, which help to understand the long-standing issue of why Permalloy should be a soft magnet.

Ab Initio Theoretical Description of the Interrelation between Magnetocrystalline Anisotropy and Atomic Short - Range Order

The cubic lattice symmetry of ferromagnetic homogeneously disordered alloys is broken when a compositional modulation is imposed. This can have a profound influence on the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy (MAE). We describe our ab initio theory of this effect and use the framework of concentration waves with the electronic structure described within the spin-polarised relativistic Korringa-...

Ultrafast precessional switching in a permalloy thin film with magnetic surface anisotropy.

Analytical and numerical analysis of ultrafast precessional switching dynamics, in a uniformly magnetized anisotropic permalloy thin film, described by the Landau-Lifshitz (LL) equation is presented. Precessional switching is realized in the film by applying a uniform pulsed magnetic field normal to the easy axis of magnetocrystalline anisotropy. The analytical solution of the LL equation is ex...

Intrinsic perpendicular anisotropy and exchange biasing in CoO/permalloy multilayers

For permalloy/CoO multilayers, the exchange field and the coercivity of the perpendicular and longitudinal exchange biasing have been found to decrease with increasing temperature. After zero field cooling, perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is observed. For small permalloy layer thickness, perpendicular anisotropy film can be established at low temperatures. r 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights rese...

Achievement of Diverse Domain Structures in Soft Magnetic Thin Film through Adjusting Intrinsic Magnetocrystalline Anisotropy

Oriented soft magnetic hcp-Co1 - x Ir x films with a fixed thickness of 120 nm were fabricated. All prepared films exhibit soft magnetic properties but various magnetocrystalline anisotropies with the variation of Ir content. The measured data shows that diverse domain structures including the Néel wall, Bloch wall, and stripe domains present in a fixed film thickness. It is singular for the si...

Enhanced film thickness for Néel wall in soft magnetic film by introducing strong magnetocrystalline anisotropy.

This study investigated the magnetic domain walls in a single-layer soft magnetic film with strong magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy. The soft magnetic film is composed of a highly c-axis-oriented hcp-Co81Ir19 alloy with strong negative magnetocrystalline anisotropy. The domain structure of the soft Co81Ir19 films with thickness ranging from 50-230 nm in a demagnetization state was observed ...
