Domain-wall scattering in epitaxial FePd ordered alloy films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Domain-wall scattering in a FePd-ordered alloy film with strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy has been investigated using magnetoresistance measurements on a whole hysteresis loop and as a function of temperature. A strong correlation between the hysteretic behavior of the resistivity due to domain walls and the magnetization process is found. The data are well described by a spin-dependent electron scattering model. This study establishes that this phenomenon can be used to identify directly magnetization reversal dynamics and electronic transport characteristics in materials with high magnetic anisotropy. @S0163-1829~99!07805-4#

The influence of the Pt buffer layer on the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in epitaxial FePd(001) ordered alloys grown by sputtering
Single-crystalline FePd~001! 1000-Å-thick films were grown at 500 °C by codeposition in an UHV sputtering system. It is found that both the crystalline structure and therefore the magnetic properties strongly depend on the Pt buffer layer thickness. The films grown on Pt~100! layers 50 Å thick and thinner do not exhibit clear chemical order and show in-plane magnetic anisotropy. FePd grown on t...

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 کاملX-ray resonant magnetic scattering from FePd thin films
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 scat...
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...
