Magnetic reversal of ion beam patterned Co/Pt multilayers
نویسندگان
چکیده
The characteristics of the reversal processes of magnetic arrays fabricated by ion-irradiation of Co/Pt multilayers with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy are reported. Magnetic patterns with periodicities from 1 lm to 100 nm were patterned. A correlation between the pattern size, magnetic reversal and grain size is presented. 2003 Acta Materialia Inc.

Lorentz Transmission Electron Microscopy Investigation of Magnetically Patterned Co/pt Multilayers
The switching behavior of magnetic patterns prepared by ion irradiation was investigated. Co/Pt multilayers with perpendicular anisotropy and large out-of-plane coercivities 5-6 kOe were grown on electron transparent SiN windows. Regularly spaced 1 micron sized regions, were magnetically pattered via ion beam irradiation through a stencil mask. Lorentz TEM was used to observe in-situ magnetizat...
متن کاملEvolution of magnetic domain reversal with temperature in Co ÕPt multilayers observed by magneto-optical Kerr imaging
The evolution of magnetic domain structures with temperature during magnetic reversal in Co 4 Å /Pt tPt multilayers with perpendicular anisotropy has been investigated using magneto-optical Kerr imaging. Relatively large Pt layer thicknesses tPt=43 and 63 Å are chosen for this study because the interlayer coupling strength in the multilayers varies from weak at room temperature to strong at low...

Electron beam evaporated Co/Pt multilayers $@Co(tCo nm!/Pt~1 nm!#10, 0.2,tCo,2 nm% with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and room temperature coercivities Hc52– 15 kOe are studied as a function of growth temperature TG. Hysteresis loops and magnetic force microscopy ~MFM! indicate changes in the magnetization reversal mechanism along with a sharp increase in coercivity for TG*230– 250 °C. Film...
متن کاملMagnetic relaxation measurements of exchange biased (Pt/Co) multilayers with perpendicular anisotropy
Magnetic relaxation measurements were carried out by magneto-optical Kerr effect on exchange biased (Pt/Co)5/Pt/FeMn multilayers with perpendicular anisotropy. In these films the coercivity and the exchange bias field vary with Pt spacer thickness, and have a maximum for 0.2 nm. Hysteresis loops do not reveal important differences between the reversal for ascending and descending fields. Relaxa...
متن کاملPerpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy in Ion Beam
Co/Ni multilayers display perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and have applications in magnetic devices that could lead to a large increase in the density of magnetic storage. Co/Ni 10-(2 A Co/ 8A Ni) and 10-(2 A Co/ 4A Ni) multilayers were deposited with ion beam sputtering on either ion beam sputtered copper or direct current magnetron sputtered gold buffer layers of various thicknesses. The ef...
