Influence of domain wall pinning on the dynamic behavior of magnetic vortex structures: Time-resolved scanning x-ray transmission microscopy in NiFe thin film structures

Journal Article Vansteenkiste, A ; Baerdemaeker, J de ; Waeyenberge, B van ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Artificial domain wall pinning sites were created in micron-sized thin-film Ni{sub 80}Fe{sub 20} structures, and their influence on the vortex dynamics was investigated by using time-resolved scanning transmission x-ray microscopy. The domain wall pinning sites were introduced by means of focused ion beam etching in the form of antidots. The vortex gyration frequency increased in square-shaped structures but not in similarly modified disk-shaped structures, where no domain walls are present. This demonstrates that the domain wall pinning is causing the increased frequency. The effect is explained by the confinement of the domain wall motion to the portion of the structuremore »« less

Exchange coupling coefficient and domain wall mobility of (Dy,Tb)FeCo magneto-optical films

Journal Article Hwang, W ; Wu, T ; Shieh, H D - Journal of Applied Physics

The magnetic properties and recording characteristics of (Dy,Tb)FeCo films are dependent upon the anisotropy dispersion of rare earth constituents and the exchange integral between rare earth and transition metal sub networks. The exchange coupling coefficient {lambda} and the domain wall mobility {mu}{sub eff} are found to be interrelated by both measurements and calculations. The higher the {lambda} or the lower the {mu}{sub eff}, the higher bias field that is required for magneto-optical recording. The temperature independent {lambda} is demonstrated to be an important parameter in the assessment of magnetic properties and recording characteristics of sperimagnetic films. {copyright} {ital 1997 Americanmore » Institute of Physics.}« less

Observation of injection and pinning of domain walls in magneticnanowires using photoemission electron microscopy

Journal Article Thomas, Luc ; Rettner, Charles ; Hayashi, Masamitsu ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Photoemission electron microscopy is used to explore the injection and pinning of magnetic domain walls in 250-nm-wide, 20-nm-thick Permalloy nanowires. Domain walls are injected from a micron-sized elliptical nucleation pad at one end of the nanowire. A vortex-like structure is readily nucleated in this pad at low magnetic fields 15 Oe, whereas injection of a domain wall into the nanowire requires significantly larger fields 60 Oe. Domain walls are pinned in the nanowire at notches patterned along the wires edges. The domain walls are observed to have vortex-like structures with chiralities that vary in successive experiments.

Measurement of narrow domain-wall widths in SmCo/sub 5/ using differential phase contrast electron microscopy

Journal Article Morrison, G R ; Gong, H ; Chapman, J N ; ... - J. Appl. Phys.; (United States)

Differential phase contrast imaging in a scanning transmission electron microscope has been used to measure very narrow domain walls in the ferromagnetic alloy SmCo/sub 5/. This technique provides a more accurate and direct measurement of domain-wall structure than is possible with more conventional methods, and has allowed, for the first time, an experimental test of the predicted wall widths in highly anisotropic material.

Magnetometry of single ferromagnetic nanoparticles using magneto-optical indicator films with spatial amplification

Journal Article Balk, Andrew L., E-mail: andrew.balk@nist.gov ; Maryland NanoCenter, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742 ; Hangarter, Carlos ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We present a magneto-optical technique to spatially amplify and image fringe fields from single ferromagnetic nanorods. The fringe fields nucleate magnetic domains in a low-coercivity, perpendicularly magnetized indicator film, which are expanded by an applied out-of-plane field from the nanoscale to the microscale for measurement with polar Kerr microscopy. The nucleation location and therefore magnetic orientation of the sample nanorod are detected as spatially dependent field biases in locally measured hysteresis loops of the indicator film. We first discuss our method to fabricate the high-sensitivity indicator film with low energy argon ion irradiation. We then present a map of themore »« less
