Magnetic properties of square Py nanowires: Irradiation dose and geometry dependence
Abstract
Arrays of ferromagnetic patterned nanostructures with single particle lateral dimensions between 160 nm and 400 nm were created by electron-beam lithography. The fourfold particles with rectangular-shaped walls around a square open area were produced from permalloy. Their magnetic properties were measured using the longitudinal magneto-optical Kerr effect. The article reports about the angle-dependent coercive fields and the influence of the e-beam radiation dose on sample shapes. It is shown that a broad range of radiation dose intensities enables reliable creation of nanostructures with parameters relevant for the desired magnetization reversal scenario. The experimental results are finally compared with micromagnetic simulations to explain the findings.
