چکیده

The dynamics of domain walls motion in thin films is usually performed with magneto-optical methods, which require to detect a sequence of images in time, for different field of view. The resulting avalanche distributions give interesting hints on the magnetization dynamics, but are strongly dependent on the size of the windows chosen. Here we investigate how to properly detect the size of the single avalanches, and how to understand the finite-size effects of the boundary conditions.

Visualization of avalanches in magnetic thin films: temporal processing

Magneto-optical methods allow us to observe the dynamics of domain wall motion, but this is intrinsically a very noisy process. We discuss a new method allowing us to reduce the measurement noise, taking advantage of the acquisition of a whole temporal sequence of images. The resulting avalanche distributions give interesting hints as to the magnetization dynamics, but are strongly dependent on...

Designing and Fabrication of Electrochromic Windows Using Tungsten Oxide Films Prepared Through Sol-gel Coating on a Glass

In this study, a sol-gel peroxotungstic acid sol was employed to deposit tungsten oxide (WO3) films by the spin-coating technique. In view of smart window applications, electrochromic windows were then designed and fabricated using a thin tungsten oxide film. For this purpose, Glass/ FTO/ WO3/ electrolyte/ FTO/Glass could be of use due to its special structure that consists of an electrochromic...

Effect of Cobalt Concentration on Structural and Magnetic Properties of Co-Fe Thin Films

Co-Fe films were electrodeposited on Cu substrate from electrolytes with different Co concentration  levels. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used  to  investigate  the  films  crystal  structures. The  results  indicate that  if  the  Co  concentration  is  less  that  the  Fe  concentration,  the cubic  structure  appears  in  the  films, while  the  hexagonal  structure dominates when  the C...

Effect of Magnetic Field on Surface Morphology and Magnetic Properties of FeCu/Cu Nano layers Prepared by Electrodeposition Technique: Investigation of Magneto-hydrodynamic Effect

In this paper, the effect of magnetic field on the morphology, structure and magnetic properties of electrodeposited FeCu/Cu thin films was investigated. The films were deposited on Au2PdAg/glass substrates using electrodeposition technique in potentiostatic control. The magnetic fields of 5000 and 7000 Oe were applied on deposition bath during deposition. Two series of thin films were prepared...

Magneto-Optic Characterization of Defects and Study of Flux Avalanches in High-Tc Superconductors down to Nanosecond Time Resolution

Optical methods offer an intrinsic high potential for experiments with excellent spatial and in particular also temporal resolution. Using the Faraday effect we canied out magneto-optical investigations of highT, superconductor thin films in a polarization microscope. Small defects in the superconducting material which possess a lower critical current density disturb the homogeneous penetration...
