X-ray resonant magnetic scattering from FePd thin films
نویسندگان
چکیده
Depending on the growth conditions, FePd thin films can display a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy associated with chemical order. In competition with the shape anisotropy, this can lead to striped magnetic domains, with moments perpendicular to the film plane. Under these circumstances, magnetic flux closure should occur. The striped domains were studied with soft x-ray resonant magnetic scattering using circularly polarized light to demonstrate the presence of closure domains. Magnetic depth profiling was performed both at the Fe and Pd L3 edge, by measuring the magnetic diffraction peak intensities versus angle of incidence u . © 2000 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-8979~00!65408-7#

Weak-stripe magnetic domain evolution with an in-plane field in epitaxial FePd thin films: Model versus experimental results
The magnetic domain structure in thin ferromagnetic films with perpendicular anisotropy is investigated. The effect of an in-plane magnetic field on the presence of domains and the magnetization profile is analyzed within the framework of a one-dimensional analytical model. The general results are reported in a state diagram as a function of the two relevant dimensionless parameters: the qualit...
متن کاملInfluence of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy on closure domains studied with x-ray resonant magnetic scattering
FePd thin-film samples with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy ~PMA! have been studied with x-ray resonant magnetic scattering, both at the Fe and at the Pd L3 edges. In these samples the competition between PMA and shape anisotropy leads to the formation of highly ordered striped domain patterns with a magnetization component perpendicular to the film plane. These striped domains give rise to m...
متن کاملResonant Magnetic X-ray Scattering from in Situ Grown Holmium-metal Films
Resonant magnetic X-ray scattering (RMXS) experiments at the Ho-L3 and M5 thresholds have been performed on thin holmium-metal films grown in situ in ultra-high vacuum on W(110). The experimental set-up for these experiments as well as results for the magnetic structure of these films will be described. The magnetic structure stays bulk-like down to a thickness of 14 monolayers.
متن کاملTheory of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering by collective magnetic excitations.
I present a tractable theory for the resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) of magnons. The low-energy transition operator is written as a product of local spin operators and fundamental x-ray absorption spectral functions. This leads to simple selection rules. The scattering cross section linear (quadratic) in spin operators is proportional to the fundamental magnetic circular (linear) dic...
متن کاملTuning magnetic coupling in Sr2IrO4 thin films with epitaxial strain.
We report x-ray resonant magnetic scattering and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering studies of epitaxially strained Sr2IrO4 thin films. The films were grown on SrTiO3 and (LaAlO3)0.3(Sr2AlTaO6)0.7 substrates, under slight tensile and compressive strains, respectively. Although the films develop a magnetic structure reminiscent of bulk Sr2IrO4, the magnetic correlations are extremely anisotropi...
