SEMPA Imaging for Spintronics Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Scanning Electron Microscopy with Polarization Analysis (SEMPA) provides high resolution (10 nm) magnetization images simultaneously with, but independent of, the topography. Such information is very useful in studying spintronics devices as illustrated by three examples: 1) exchange coupling of magnetic layers, 2) spin-transfer switching in magnetic nanowires, and 3) the ferromagnetic metal-semiconductor interface.

Scanning Electron Microscopy with Polarization Analysis (sempa) and Its Applications
Scanning Electron Microscopy with Polarization Analysis (SEMPA) is a technique for directly imaging the magnetic microstructure of surfaces and thin films. SEMPA relies on the fact that secondary electrons emitted from a magnetic sample in a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) have a spin polarization which reflects the net spin density in the material. This spin density, in turn, is directly re...

متن کاملMagnetic Depth Profiling Co/Cu Multilayers to Investigate Magnetoresistance
The magnetic microstructure responsible for the metastable high resistance state of weakly coupled, as-prepared [Co(6nm)/Cu(6nm)]20 multilayers was analyzed using polarized neutron reflectivity (PNR) and scanning electron microscopy with polarization analysis (SEMPA). This paper focuses and expands on the SEMPA measurements. In multilayer structures such as these, SEMPA can be combined with ion...
متن کاملNuclear resonance in quantum Hall systems
NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) has continued to evolve into a technology tour de force for interrogating the atomic details of matter. It is no revelation that semiconductor integrated circuits are an enormously successful technology that forever changed––and dramatically improved––the way we live. While the two technological paradigms have remained largely orthogonal, a number of interesting...
