Directional change of magnetic easy axis of arrays of cobalt nanowires: Role of non-dipolar magnetostatic interaction

Room temperature magnetization of two dimensional (2D) arrays of cobalt nanowires (NWs) having diameter 50 and 150 nm prepared by electrodeposition are studied in details. Diffraction patterns of the NWs reveal that the crystallites of the NWs become more textured on decreasing their diameter. Magnetic hysteresis loop measurements show the magnetic easy axis changes its direction from axial to perpendicular direction of NWs on increasing the length of the NWs. The magnetostatic interaction among the NWs, known as the key factor in defining the easy direction is found not to be dipolar at all the circumstances. An aspect ratio (length/diameter of NWs) dependence of the non-dipolar interaction in 150 nm NWs is evident from the static magnetization as well as from ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) measurements.     

Ballistic anisotropic magnetoresistance

Electronic transport in ferromagnetic ballistic conductors is predicted to exhibit ballistic anisotropic magnetoresistance-a change in the ballistic conductance with the direction of magnetization. This phenomenon originates from the effect of the spin-orbit interaction on the electronic band structure which leads to a change in the number of bands crossing the Fermi energy when the magnetization direction changes. We illustrate the significance of this phenomenon by performing ab initio calculations of the ballistic conductance in ferromagnetic Ni and Fe nanowires which display a sizable ballistic anisotropic magnetoresistance when magnetization changes direction from parallel to perpendicular to the wire axis.     

Magnetic properties of arrays of interacting Co nanocrystals

Monodisperse Co FCC nanocrystals with 12 nm diameter were self-assembled into regular quasi-two-dimensional triangular periodic arrays on carbon substrates from a toluene-based colloidal suspension. At 300 K the regular arrays show a collective magnetic behaviour due to dipolar coupling. A remanent magnetization with an easy axis in the film-plane and an uniaxial in-plane anisotropy field of 0.037 T were determined by SQUID magnetometry and angular dependent ferromagnetic resonance.     

Ferromagnetic Resonance Spectra in Single-Crystal Hexagonal Ferrites

Theoretical and experimental studies of ferromagnetic resonance in single-crystal hexagonal ferrites with different types of magnetocrystalline anisotropy (axis and plane of easy magnetization) are reported. The ferromagnetic resonance is examined in the 12–38 GHz frequency range in the state of homogeneous magnetization and in the presence of a strip domain structure inherent in materials with an axis of easy magnetization. This comprehensive ferromagnetic resonance investigation is shown to allow determination of not only anisotropy fields and g-factors but also saturation magnetization of a material from testing one sample alone. The anisotropy of g-factor of Zn₂Y is found experimentally.     

Configurational spin reorientation phase transition in magnetic nanowire arrays

Classical microscopic spin reorientation phase transitions (RPT) are the result of competing magnetocrystalline anisotropies. RPTs can also be observed in discrete macroscopic systems induced by competing shape anisotropies and magnetostatic coupling. Such a configurational RPT was recently observed in series of self-organized hexagonal arrays of 2.5 μm long, 25-60 nm diameter circular permalloy nanowires grown in anodic alumina matrix. This RPT is a crossover transition from a one-dimensional easy axis “wire” behavior of weakly interacting uniaxial nanowires to a two-dimensional behavior of strongly coupled “wire film” having an easy plane anisotropy. It is shown that RPT takes place due to the competition between the intrinsic dipolar forces in individual wires and the external dipolar field of interacting nanowires in the array. The crossover occurs at a volume ratio of 0.38 for 65 nm periodicity. The experimental results are in agreement with the semi-analytical calculations of the dipolar interaction fields for these arrays of circular ferromagnetic nanowires, and are interpreted in terms of the Landau phase transition theory. The conditions for the crossover and the order of the phase transition are established. Based on the contribution to the magnetic energy from the flower state at the ends of the wires, it is concluded that the observed transition is of the first order.     

Interface biquadratic coupling and magnon scattering in exchange-biased ferromagnetic thin films grown on epitaxial FeF2

The magnetic anisotropy of ferromagnetic (FM) Ni, Co, and Fe polycrystalline thin films grown on antiferromagnetic (AF) FeF(2)(110) epitaxial layers was studied, as a function of temperature, using ferromagnetic resonance. In addition to an in-plane anisotropy in the FM induced by fluctuations in the AF short-range order, a perpendicular (biquadratic) magnetic anisotropy, with an out-of-plane component, was found which increased with decreasing temperature above the AF Neél temperature (T(N) = 78.4 K). This is a surprising result given that the AF's uniaxial anisotropy axis was in the plane of the sample, but is consistent with prior experimental and theoretical work. The resonance linewidth had a strong dependence on the direction of the external magnetic field with respect to in-plane FeF(2) crystallographic directions, consistent with interface magnon scattering due to defect-induced demagnetizing fields. Below T(N), the exchange bias field H(E) measured via FMR for the Ni sample was in good agreement with H(E) determined from magnetization measurements if the perpendicular out-of-plane anisotropy was taken into account. A low field resonance line normally observed at H ≈ 0, associated with domain formation during magnetization in ferromagnets, coincided with the exchange bias field for T < T(N), indicating domain formation with the in-plane FM magnetization perpendicular to the AF easy axis. Thus, biquadratic FM-AF coupling is important at temperatures below and above T(N).     

Effect of length on the magnetic properties of Ni 300 nm wide nanowires

The Ni 300 nm wide nanowires were fabricated inside the as-synthesized nanochannels of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template by electrochemical deposition method. The angular dependence of coercivity and remanence of Ni nanowire arrays with various lengths have been comparatively studied. Investigation results demonstrate that the easy axis is along the wire axis for the longer nanowires of 4 μm or 9 μm in length due to their large shape anisotropy. However, the magnetostatic coupling is dominant for the shorter nanowires of 0.9 μm in length resulting in the change of magnetization behaviors, including coercivity and easy axis. A further explanation was also given by simple calculation in the paper.     

Angular dependence of the coercivity and remanence of ordered arrays of Co nanowires

The angular dependence of the coercivity and remanence of ordered hexagonal arrays of Co nanowires prepared using anodic aluminum oxide templates was investigated. The experimental evolution of coercivity as a function of the angle, in which the external field is applied, is interpreted considering micromagnetic simulations. Depending on the angle between the axis of the wire and the applied magnetic field direction our results show that the magnetization reversal mode changes from vortex to a transverse domain wall. Besides, we observed that the dipolar interactions cause a reduction in coercive fields, mainly in the direction of easy magnetization of the nanowires. Good agreement between numerical and experimental data is obtained.     

Magnetostatic interaction in electrodeposited Ni/Au multilayer nanowire arrays

Ordered Ni/Au multilayer nanowire arrays are successfully fabricated inside the nanochannels of anodic aluminum oxide template by pulse electrodeposition method. The thickness of the alternating layers is controlled to examine the magnetostatic interaction in Ni/Au multilayer nanowires. The magnetic easy axis parallel to the nanowires indicates that here the magnetostatic coupling along the wire axis dominates over the interactions perpendicular to the nanowires. However,the magnetostatic interaction between adjacent nanowires with larger magnetic layers is enhanced, leading to the existence of an optimum coercivity value.     

Magnetic surfaces

The magnetic ground state, magnetic anisotropies and spin excitations of surfaces, interfaces and ultra-thin films of ferromagnetic 3d-metals are discussed. Enhanced magnetic ground state moments and altered hyperfine fields as predicted by ab initio band calculations have not been conclusively verified by experiments up to now. Future calculations should take into account dipolar fields and the role of interface roughness. Very large magnetic anisotropies are observed at magnetic surfaces and interfaces. In Ni/Cu multilayered films, the superposition of surface and stress-induced anisotropies was used to switch the easy axis of magnetization from the film plane to a perpendicular orientation by a proper choice of the Ni layer thickness. This could be an attractive possibility to develop new magnetic materials for technical applications. The temperature dependence of the spontaneous magnetization at surfaces and in ultra-thin films deviates from the behaviour of bulk material. Size effects as well as surface effects of spin wave excitations are discussed, comparing theoretical and experimental results. The need for more complete theories including surface exchange, surface anisotropy and realistic surface structures is emphasized.
