Effect of bar width on magnetoresistance of nanoscale nickel and cobalt bars
نویسندگان
چکیده
The anisotropic magnetoresistance ~AMR! of nickel and cobalt bars of 1 mm length, 35 nm thickness, and width varying from 50 to 500 nm is studied. As the bar width is reduced from 500 to 50 nm, longitudinal MR change decreases from 0.8% to 0.2% and transverse MR change increases from 1.3% to 1.8% for the Ni bars; longitudinal MR change is zero and transverse MR change is constant at 1.6% for the Co bars. The zero longitudinal MR is attributed to a single-domain magnetization. The AMR value indicates that the electron scattering from bar edges has little effect on AMR even in a 50 nm width. Furthermore, strong, repeatable Barkhausen noise is observed in the Co bars with a width larger than 200 nm, which can be explained by a micromagnetic model. © 1997 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-8979~97!63008-X#

Effects of bar length on switching field of nanoscale nickel and cobalt bars fabricated using lithography
The switching behavior of isolated nanoscale nickel and cobalt bars, which were fabricated using electron-beam lithography, was studied as a function of bar length. The bars have a 35 nm thickness, a 100 nm width, and a length varying from 200 nm to 5 mm. Magnetic force microscopy showed that except for the Ni bars with a length equal to or less than 250 nm, all other as-fabricated bars were si...
متن کاملNonmonotonic length dependence of switching field of nanolithographically
Previously, the switching field of nanolithographically defined single-domain permalloy and nickel bars was found to increase monotonically as the bar aspect ratio increases or as the bar width decreases. In this work, we will show, for the first time, that when the bar width is fixed, the switching field of nanolithographically defined single-domain nickel and cobalt bars changes nonmonotonica...

Algae are among the aquatic organisms that are severely exposed to increasing levels of pollutants, which are becoming a concern in marine ecosystems. Heavy metals are among the compounds for which their increase in high levels causes problems in the structure of algae communities in aquatic ecosystems. In this study, the effect of different concentrations of Nickel (1.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 15 mg/...
متن کاملEffects of magnetostatic interaction between two single-domain cobalt bars on crystal anisotropy and switching field (abstract)
Understanding the magnetostatic field effects of a single-domain particle on its neighbors during thin film deposition and magnetic recording is essential to the development of magnetic recording media. Here, we present a unique study of such effects using nanofabrication technology and magnetic force microscopy ~MFM!. We fabricated pairs of single-domain cobalt bars. Each bar is 35 nm thick, 5...
