Enhancing the limit of uniaxial magnetic anisotropy induced by ion beam erosion

Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy in Ion Beam

Co/Ni multilayers display perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and have applications in magnetic devices that could lead to a large increase in the density of magnetic storage. Co/Ni 10-(2 A Co/ 8A Ni) and 10-(2 A Co/ 4A Ni) multilayers were deposited with ion beam sputtering on either ion beam sputtered copper or direct current magnetron sputtered gold buffer layers of various thicknesses. The ef...

Magnetic oxide nanowires with strain-controlled uniaxial magnetic anisotropy direction

While magnetic nanowires generally have a preferential magnetization direction along the wire axis to minimize magnetostatic energy, it is shown here for epitaxial magnetic oxide nanowires that substrate-induced strain can be used to tailor the magnetic easy axis in any direction. La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 LSMO nanowires were prepared by pulsed laser deposition of LSMO thin films on NdGaO3 NGO substrate...

Uniaxial magnetic anisotropy induced by vicinal surfaces in half metallic La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 thin films

Uniaxial magnetic anisotropy of square-planar chromium(II) complexes revealed by magnetic and HF-EPR studies.

Two mononuclear square-planar Cr(II) complexes are reported, exhibiting field-induced slow magnetic relaxation. The axial zero-field splitting parameter was unambiguously determined by both a high-frequency/field electron paramagnetic resonance (HF-EPR) technique and magnetic measurements. This result represents the first observed single-molecule-magnet behavior in the square planar coordinatio...

Dipolar Magnetic Anisotropy in Some Uniaxial Hexagonal Ferrites

Calculations for the magnetic dipolar contribution to the magnetic anisotropy of BaFeizOie and LaFeiiZnOie M-type and BaFerMn2Oil A-type hexagonal ferrites have been made. Our calculations take into account all the magnetic moments existing within a sphere with a radius of 118 1, from which good eonvergenee is reached. The results for there ferrite# suggest that the strong magnetic enisotropy i...
