The magnetization reversal of ultrathin Co films on Cu(001) has been investigated by grazing ion scattering and magneto-optical Kerr effect. Differences in the behavior of surface and bulk magnetization are found and attributed to the reduced coordination and site symmetry at the surface. The reversal behavior of the surface magnetization depends on the chemical surface composition. For pure Co films, the reversal of the bulk magnetization is preceded by a complete reversal of the surface magnetization. A particular magnetic state of the surface is suggested as a precursor for magnetization reversal.  相似文献

In this article we present a detailed investigation of the structural and magnetic properties of exchange biased NiFe (ferromagnet)/FeMn (antiferromagnet) thin films. The influence of the shape anisotropy on exchange bias and the magnetization reversal mechanism in a sample with patterned lines is compared with a continuous two-dimensional reference sample. Polarized neutron reflectivity (PNR) is employed to study the magnetization reversal by analyzing the spin-flip and non-spin-flip reflectivities. PNR measurements show that the magnetization reversal in the reference two-dimensional film and patterned lines is by domain wall motion rather than coherent rotation of magnetization.  相似文献

The time, temperature, and magnetic field dependences of the magnetic moment of thin GaMnSb films containing MnSb clusters are measured using a SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) magnetometer. It is found that magnetic field-induced magnetization reversal and thermally activated spontaneous magnetization reversal in thin GaMnSb films are interrelated as follows: the maximum of the magnetic-field dependence of the magnetic viscosity coincides with the coercive force for the samples.  相似文献

We have developed a new original technique to study the magnetization reversal dynamics of thin films with element selectivity in the nanosecond time scale. X-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements in pump-probe mode are carried out taking advantage of the time structure of synchrotron radiation. The dynamics of the magnetization reversal of each of the layers of complex heterostructures (like spin valves or tunnel junctions) can be probed independently. The interlayer coupling in the studied systems has been shown to play a key role in the determination of the magnetization reversal of each individual layer.  相似文献

Polarized neutron reflectometry is used to probe the in-plane projection of the net-magnetization vector M--> of polycrystalline Fe films exchange coupled to twinned (110) MnF (2) or FeF (2) antiferromagnetic (AF) layers. The magnetization reversal mechanism depends upon the orientation of the cooling field with respect to the twinned microstructure of the AF, and whether the applied field is increased to (or decreased from) a positive saturating field; i.e. , the magnetization reversal is asymmetric. The reversal of the sample magnetization from one saturated state to the other occurs via either domain wall motion or magnetization rotation on opposite sides of the same hysteresis loop.  相似文献

The magnetization reversal of MnAs epitaxial films on GaAs (0 0 1) substrates was investigated using a Kerr microscope. The direct observation of the change in domain structure under magnetic fields revealed characteristic magnetization reversal process of MnAs films with a ladder-type domain structure. The nucleus of the magnetization reversal region appears and propagates to neighboring α-MnAs lines, and then the ladder-type structures cover all over the surface. Finally the domain wall displacement occurs to expand the domain. The change in magnetic domain reflects the characteristic ridge/groove structures of MnAs films.  相似文献

High critical current density ($> 10^{6}$ A/cm$^{2})$ is one of major obstacles to realize practical applications of the current-driven magnetization reversal devices. In this work, we successfully prepared Pd/CoZr(3.5 nm)/MgO thin films with large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and demonstrated a way of reducing the critical current density with a low out-of-plane magnetic field in the Pd/CoZr/MgO stack. Under the assistance of an out-of-plane magnetic field, the magnetization can be fully reversed with a current density of about 10$^{4}$ A/cm$^{2}$. The magnetization reversal is attributed to the combined effect of the out-of-plane magnetic field and the current-induced spin-orbital torque. It is found that the current-driven magnetization reversal is highly relevant to the temperature owing to the varied spin-orbital torque, and the current-driven magnetization reversal will be more efficient in low-temperature range, while the magnetic field is helpful for the magnetization reversal in high-temperature range.  相似文献

Magnetization reversal in ultra-thin Au/Co/Au films deposited on single crystal silicon (1 0 0) was investigated using Kerr microscopy. In the considered ultra-thin Co films, with a thickness between 0.7 and 1 nm, the coercivity and magnetic anisotropy decrease with decrease in cobalt layer thickness and the magnetization reversal dynamics is dominated by disordered domain wall motion. An analysis of the observed magnetization reversal dynamics is proposed, starting from the Fatuzzo-Labrune model. We show that the relaxation curves of these samples are well described by a function obtained by a technical transformation of Fatuzzo-Labrune model in the regime dominated by domain wall motion.  相似文献

We studied the structure and magnetic properties of porous multilayered Co/Pd films deposited on the templates of anodized Al2O3 with a specific surface morphology that is characterized by a cellular–porous structure with several pores inside each cell. X-ray diffraction analysis and reflectometry are used to study the peculiarities of the formation of phases in deposited films. The effect of morphological features of porous Co/Pd films on their magnetoanisotropic properties and magnetization reversal processes (magnetization reversal mechanisms, domain structure of films, and coercive field H c ) is revealed by SQUID magnetometry and magnetic force microscopy.  相似文献

Arrays of circular nanodisks have been formed from epitaxial Co films deposited on atomically smooth and vicinal Si(111) single crystals by using a focused Ga+ ion beam. The surface roughness has been determined by scanning tunneling microscopy. The coercive force and the processes of magnetization reversal in films and arrays of epitaxial Co nanodisks have been studied. It has been shown that the coercive force of the Co nanodisk arrays on the atomically smooth Si(111) surface is larger and that on the vicinal Si(111) surface is smaller than that in the epitaxial films. The studies of the magnetic structure of the nanodisks by magnetic-force microscopy in combination with the micromagnetic simulation have shown that the processes of magnetization reversal in the nanodisks on the atomically smooth substrates occur through the vortex-like states and, on the vicinal substrates, through the C-type state.  相似文献

A study of the experimental behavior of the reversible (Mrev) and the irreversible (Mirr) DCD magnetization components in enhanced-remanence SmCo films was carried out. The evolution of the DCD Mrev and Mirr components were determined at room temperature by measuring sets of first-order reversal curves from different points on the initial magnetization curve and the demagnetization curve. From these data, Mrev(Mirr)Hi curves were built, Hi being the internal field of the sample. Recent studies show that the behavior of the Mrev(Mirr) curves at a constant internal field can be used as an indicator of the mechanism of reversal magnetization. The non-monotonic behavior showed by these curves at low fields in our material, seems to be associated with an incoherent mechanism of magnetization reversal in the nanograins of SmCo.  相似文献

Structure and magnetization of CoZrNb amorphous films prepared by DC magnetron sputtering have been studied as a function of film thickness (t), from 35 to 840 nm. Using comprehensive characterization, we show that the CoZrNb amorphous films possess a single phase and no nanocrystalline can be detected. The magnetic measurements indicate that the magnetization reversal of CoZrNb films is strongly dependent on t. That is, the coercivity is abruptly reduced to be lower than 4 Oe with t increasing from 35 to 105 nm, and then gradually decreases to ∼0.2 Oe as t increases. This coercivity transition versus t is accompanied by the strong magnetization reversal when t is larger than 105 nm. The results reveal that CoZrNb amorphous films with comparatively large film thickness (>100 nm) are suitable for sensors and anti-faked materials.  相似文献

The domain structure in strained garnet ferrite films and its behavior in an external magnetic field are studied using the Faraday effect. Based on the experimental results, a model of magnetization reversal in thin polycrystalline layers is proposed that describes the process of remagnetization as the development of fractal clusters. The model proposed is verified using a computer simulation of magnetization reversal.  相似文献

The variations of coercivity for different preferred orientation (PO) of electrodeposited Co-W films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy are demonstrated by manipulating the inter-particle separation through the heat-treatment effect. The character of the dependences corresponds to magnetization reversal of the films with (002) PO by the rotational mechanism.  相似文献

We have investigated the in-plane magnetization reversal in FeSm thin films and discovered that it can be controlled through an induced anisotropy. For films with an induced easy direction, reversal is ultra fast and can be characterized approximately using the Fatuzzo model. In films with no pronounced induced easy axis, the reversal is much slower and can be described using a logarithmic model. We have also investigated the short time (1–50 s) dependence of the remanent coercivity and fitted to logarithmic equations. For films with no pronounced easy axis, the time dependence of the coercivity correlates with the film thickness, indicating that the switching volume scales with thickness. For films with an induced easy direction, the time dependence of the coercivity is essentially constant, independent of film thickness, indicating no scalable switching volume.  相似文献

The torque curves of hard magnetic CoNiW films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy are analysed. Using the dependence of the rotational hysteresis energy losses on the field, both in the film plane and perpendicular to it, a conclusion is drawn about the magnetic structure of the films and the mechanism of magnetization reversal consisting of an inhomogeneous rotation of the magnetization vector.  相似文献

The magnetic anisotropy and magnetization reversal of single crystal Fe films with thickness of 45 monolayer (ML) grown on Si(111) have been investigated by ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Owing to the significant modification of the energy surface in remanent state by slight misorientation from (111) plane and a uniaxial magnetic anisotropy, the azimuthal angular dependence of in-plane resonance field shows a six-fold symmetry with a weak uniaxial contribution, while the remanence of hysteresis loops displays a two-fold one. The competition between the first and second magnetocrystalline anisotropies may result in the switching of in-plane easy axis of the system. Combining the FMR and VSM measurements, the magnetization reversal mechanism has also been determined.  相似文献

We have developed a UHV system for in situ studies of magnetic domains and magnetization reversal of thin films in the presence of external magnetic fields and at variable temperature. The system comprises a setup for magneto-optical Kerr effect measurements of magnetization curves, a Kerr-microscope for far-field magnetic-domain imaging, and a magneto-optical scanning near-field microscope in combination with a Sagnac interferometer (Sagnac-SNOM) for high-resolution imaging on a sub-μm scale. All components have successfully been tested, and the feasibility of studying ultrathin films has been demonstrated.  相似文献
