The easy-axis is along the edge of the elements, and the hard-axis is along the diagonal. The shape anisotropy of the octagon elements is determined by square and equilateral octagon, and the theoretical calculation was studied on the shape anisotropy. The shape anisotropy of rectangular was calculated by using the same theory.

用铁磁共振方法得到了双层铁磁薄膜的色散关系解析表达式.发现共振场依赖于层间耦合强度和应力场.假定层间为反铁磁性耦合，且铁磁层Ａ有较强的平面内各向异性.随着外磁场的增强，铁磁层Ｂ中的磁化强度突然由最初的反平行转为平行，从而导致色散曲线的阶跃，并且发现光学模阶跃幅度比声学模大.随着应力场的增强，Ｂ层中磁化强度反转所需的外磁场减弱.此外，在不同的交换耦合强度和应力场下，光学模共振场对外磁场方向的依赖性较强. 关键词： 双层铁磁薄膜 界面相互作用 应力各向异性场 铁磁共振     

纳米复合Fe-R-O(R=Hf Nd Dy)薄膜面内铁磁共振研究

用反应溅射方法制备了FeRO(R=Hf, Nd, Dy) 薄膜，并在400℃时对样品进行退火处理，x射线衍射和电子衍射结果显示纳米量级的Fe晶粒镶嵌在非晶氧化物基质中.用面内铁磁共振技术仔细测量了样品的共振吸收谱，并分析了局域磁化强度Ms与晶粒尺寸的关系.制备态样品呈现出显著的面内单轴各向异性，退火后单轴各向异性显著减弱，取而代之的是较弱的磁晶各向异性.利用公式(ω/γ)2=(Hres+HK)(Hres+HK+4πMs)求出局域磁化强度Ms，它随晶粒尺寸减小而减小，在晶粒尺寸为5nm时仅约为Fe体材料饱和磁化强度的30%.局域磁化强度与根据Fe的体积百分比算出的体磁化强度相比偏小，并与晶粒尺寸的倒数呈线性关系，说明在晶粒表面存在较强的磁矩钉扎效应. 关键词： 铁磁共振 局域磁化强度 单轴各向异性 磁晶各向异性     

On the comparison of the polarisation behaviour of exchange-biased AF/F NiMn/Fe37Co48Hf15 bi-layer and multi-layer films with increased ferromagnetic cut-off frequencies

Antiferromagnetic/ferromagnetic (AF/F) NiMn/Fe₃₇Co₄₈Hf₁₅ films were investigated with respect to their exchange bias, in-plane unidirectional anisotropy, polarisation and high frequency behaviour. After deposition, carried out by r.f. magnetron sputtering, the films were post-annealed for 4 h at 300 °C in a static magnetic field, in order to induce exchange-bias, which results in a unidirectional anisotropy. Dependent on the presence of a bi-layer or multi-layer sandwich structure the films show a different exchange-bias field-ferromagnetic inter-layer thickness behaviour with exchange-bias fields μ₀?H_eb between 2 and 10 mT. The in-plane uniaxial (single film) or unidirectional anisotropy fields μ₀*H_UF were between 4 and 18 mT. This results in a significant increase of the cut-off frequency in the GHz range in comparison to a single Fe₃₇Co₄₈Hf₁₅ film, which is shown by frequency-dependent permeability plots. High damping in the imaginary part of the permeability, i.e., high resonance line broadening could be observed for films with high coercivity μ₀*H_c of around 7 mT in the easy axis of magnetisation.     

Theoretical investigation of ferromagnetic resonance in a ferromagnetic thin film with external stress anisotropy

We use the ferromagnetic resonance(FMR)method to study the properties of ferromagnetic thin film,in which external stress anisotropy,fourfold anisotropy and uniaxial anisotropy are considered.The analytical expressions of FMR frequency,linewidth and the imaginary part of magnetic susceptibility are obtained.Our results reveal that the FMR frequency and the imaginary part of magnetic susceptibility are distinctly enhanced,and the frequency linewidth or field linewidth are broadened due to a strong external stress anisotropy field.The hard-axis and easy-axis components of magnetization can be tuned significantly by controlling the intensity and direction of stress and the in-plane uniaxial anisotropy field.     

具有条纹磁畴结构的NiFe薄膜的制备与磁各向异性研究

具有条纹磁畴结构的磁性薄膜表现出面内转动磁各向异性,对于解决高频电子器件的方向性问题起着至关重要的作用.本文采用射频磁控溅射的方法,研究了NiFe薄膜的厚度、溅射功率密度、溅射气压等制备工艺参数对条纹磁畴结构、面内静态磁各向异性、面内转动磁各向异性、垂直磁各向异性的影响规律.研究发现,在功率密度15.6 W/cm~2与溅射气压2 mTorr(1 Torr=1.33322×102Pa)下生长的NiFe薄膜,表现出条纹磁畴的临界厚度在250 nm到300 nm之间.厚度为300 nm的薄膜比250 nm薄膜的垂直磁各向异性场增大近一倍,从而磁矩偏离膜面形成条纹磁畴结构,并表现出面内转动磁各向异性.高溅射功率密度可以降低薄膜出现条纹磁畴的临界厚度.在相同功率密度15.6 W/cm~2下生长300 nm的NiFe薄膜,随着溅射气压由2 mTorr增大到9 mTorr,NiFe薄膜的垂直磁各向异性场逐渐由1247.8 Oe(1 Oe=79.5775 A/m)增大到3248.0 Oe,面内转动磁各向异性场由72.5 Oe增大到141.9 Oe,条纹磁畴周期从0.53μm单调减小到0.24μm.NiFe薄膜的断面结构表明柱状晶的形成是表现出条纹磁畴结构的本质原因,高功率密度下低溅射气压有利于柱状晶结构的形成,表现出规整的条纹磁畴结构,高溅射气压会导致柱状晶纤细化,面内转动磁各向异性与面外垂直磁各向异性增强,条纹磁畴结构变得混乱.

应力各向异性对铁磁/反铁磁双层薄膜磁性质的影响

 采用铁磁共振方法,研究了交换各向异性和应力各向异性对铁磁/反铁磁双层薄膜性质的影响。结果表明：界面交换作用导致单向各向异性,应力各向异性对材料的磁化难易程度有较大影响。在外磁场方向接近应力场方向时,共振频率向高值方向移动,其它区域共振频率则向低值方向移动。对频率线宽而言,接近应力场方向,频率线宽加宽,其它区域频率线宽则变窄。此外,当磁场变化时,应力的存在使得共振频率向低值方向移动,尤其在β＝π方向情况较为复杂,在弱场范围出现了两个区域：即在某磁场范围内,共振频率向高值方向移动,且频率线宽加宽;而其它范围的共振频率（线宽）是向高值方向移动（加宽）还是向低值方向移动（变窄）,取决于外磁场的相对强弱。

Preparation of patterned boron nanowire films with different widths of unit-cell and their field emission properties

Large-area patterned films of boron nanowires(BNWs) are fabricated at various densities by chemical vapor deposition(CVD). Different widths of unit-cell of Mo masks are used as templates. The widths of unit-cell of Mo masks are100 μm, 150 μm, and 200 μm, respectively. The distance between unit cells is 50 μm. The BNWs have an average diameter of about 20 nm and lengths of 10 μm–20 μm. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy analysis shows that each nanowire has a β-tetragonal structure with good crystallization. Field emission measurements of the BNW films show that their turn-on electric fields decrease with width of unit-cell increasing.     

Investigation of ultra—thin ferromagnetic films with a simple cubic lattice

Using Green‘s function method,we investigate ferromagnetic films with a simple cubic lattice containing up to ten monolayers.The Hamiltonian includes the Heisenberg exchange term,surface anisotropy (SA) and dipole interaction (DI).We calculate the magnetization as a function of temperature and film thickness,and we analyse the behaviour of spin canting.The result is in agreement with experiments.We calculate phase diagrams of SA versus DI to show the conditions under which spontaneous magnetization can occur.As a special case,we discuss the Heisenberg model without SA and DI.     

Skyrmion burst and multiple quantum walk in thin ferromagnetic films

We propose a new type of quantum walk in thin ferromagnetic films. A giant Skyrmion collapses to a singular point in a thin ferromagnetic film, emitting spin waves, when external magnetic field is increased beyond the critical one. After the collapse the remnant is a quantum walker carrying spin S. We determine its time evolution and show the diffusion process is a continuous-time quantum walk. We also analyze an interference of two quantum walkers after two Skyrmion bursts. The system presents a new type of quantum walk for S>1/2, where a quantum walker breaks into 2S quantum walkers.

Characterization of high‐density bit‐patterned media using ultra‐high resolution magnetic force microscopy

Bit‐patterned media at one terabit‐per‐square‐inch (Tb/in²) recording density require a feature size of about 12 nm. The fabrication and characterization of such magnetic nanostructures is still a challenge. In this Letter, we show that magnetic dots can be resolved at 10 nm spacing using magnetic force microscopy (MFM) tips coated with a magnetic film possessing a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). Compared to MFM tips with no special magnetic anisotropy, MFM tips with PMA can resolve the bits clearly, because of a smaller magnetic interaction volume, enabling a simple technique for characterizing fine magnetic nanostructures.

SERS study of Ag nanoparticles electrodeposited on patterned TiO2 nanotube films

In this work, Ag nanoparticles (NPs) were deposited on patterned TiO₂ nanotube films through pulse‐current (PC) electrodeposition, and as a result patterned Ag NPs films were achieved. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) were used, respectively, to study the morphology, uniformity, and phase structure of the patterned Ag NP films. The size and density of the as‐deposited Ag NPs could be controlled by changing the deposition charge density, and it was found that the patterned Ag NP films produced under a charge density of 2.0 C cm⁻² gave intense UV–vis and Raman peaks. Two‐dimensional surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) mapping of rhodamine 6G (R6G) on the patterned Ag NP films demonstrated a high‐throughput, localized molecular adsorption and micropatterned SERS effect.

Origin of magnetization-induced anisotropy of magnetic films

It is proposed that the magnetization-induced anisotropy of magnetic films of cubic crystal structure originates from the anisotropy of atomic pair ordering, shape anisotropy, and strain anisotropy resulting from the constraint of the magnetostriction strain imposed on the film by the substratc. Calculated are the three anisotropy constants and their sum K vs temperature for Ni, Fe, and 55%Ni-Fe films; the room temperature （RT） constants vs the substrate temperature Tt during deposition or annealing after deposition for Ni and 50%Ni Co films; the RT constants vs com- position fraction for Fe-Ni films with Tt = RT, 250℃ and 450℃, Co Ni films at Tt = RT, 100℃ and 320℃, and Fe-Co films with Tt = RT and 300℃; the spread of RT K vs composition fraction for Fe Ni films; and RT △K/K vs composition fraction for Fe-Ni and Co Ni films, where △K denotes the variation of K of the film that is detached from its substrate. The calculated curves well accord with the measurements. The irrelevancy of K to the substrate material and the fast kinetics of the annealing in a field applied in the direction of the hard axis are explained reasonably.[第一段]
