Buffer Induced Magnetic Patterning of Ultrathin Co Layer
The possibility of magnetic anisotropy engineering of ultrathin Co films in the scale of several dozen nanometers is investigated by magnetooptical magnetometry. In Au/Co/Au sandwiches the spin reorientation transition from the out-of-plane to the in-plane configuration is observed, when Co layer thickness exceeds 1.9 nm. Molybdenum as the underlayer suppresses the Co thickness range for which ...
متن کاملExchange biasing in as-prepared Co/FeMn bilayers and magnetic properties of ultrathin single layer films
For Co and CoNi single layer films, the coercivity is a linear function of the inverse layer thickness and has an angular dependence of a fourfold-like symmetry although only a uniaxial anisotropy exists. For both as-prepared and post field-cooled Co/FeMn bilayers, the exchange field and the coercivity enhancement are proportional to the inverse Co thickness. For as-prepared ones, the exchange ...
متن کاملUltrathin Co-O oxide layer-driven perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in a CoO/[Co/Pd]m multilayer matrix upon annealing
Ferromagnetic/noble metal multilayer (ML) frames are expected to serve as reliable building blocks in a variety of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) based spintronic devices. However, ultrathin ML matrices are highly susceptible to unintended reduction of electron spin polarization in the as-grown or annealed states and often require a large repeat number. Here, we introduce a simple appr...
متن کاملStep-induced unusual magnetic properties of ultrathin Co/Cu films: Ab initio study.
We have performed ab initio studies to elucidate the unusual magnetic behavior recently observed in epitaxial Co films upon absorption of submonolayers of Cu and other materials. We find that a submonolayer amount of Cu on a stepped Co/Cu (100) film changes dramatically the electronic and magnetic structure of the system. The effect is mainly due to hybridization of Co and Cu d-electrons when c...
متن کاملChirality-Induced asymmetric magnetic nucleation in Pt/Co/AlOx ultrathin microstructures.
The nucleation of reversed magnetic domains in Pt/Co/AlO(x) microstructures with perpendicular anisotropy was studied experimentally in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field. For large enough in-plane field, nucleation was observed preferentially at an edge of the sample normal to this field. The position at which nucleation takes place was observed to depend in a chiral way on the initial...
