چکیده
Polarised neutrons (A = 0.47 nm) are transmitted through sputtered CoCr films. From the measured diagonal elements of the depolarisation matrix it appears that the effective thickness her ~ of the films is about 50% of the actual thickness. When a soft magnetic NiFe film is deposited before or after deposition of the CoCr, he, is 67 and 60% of the actual thickness, respectively, due to the disappearance of the flux closure in the CoCr film. From the angular dependence of the diagonal elements compared with computer simlation the "chain of column" model is supported. Our results indicate that magnetic flux is closed by "branched" spikes at least on the substrate side of the CoCr film.

متن کاملSANS EXPERIMENTS ON THIN CoCr FILMS WITH PERPENDICULAR DOMAIN STRUCTURE
The application of small angle neutron scattering in the study of thin magnetic layers used in perpendicular recording media has been demonstrated. The domain structure in these materials is characterized by the domain height perpendicular to the film and the domain width in the plane of the film. These quantities have been deduced from the two dimensional scattering pattern. The domain height ...
متن کاملMicrostructure and magnetic properties of very" thin CoCr films deposited on different underlayers by if-sputtering
Very thin CoCr films deposited on different underlayers on glass disk substrates were studied by the magneto-optic Kerr effect, VSM, torque magnetometcy and TEM selected area diffraction. Square or near square perpendicular loops were obtained from Co/Ti , CoCr/Au: CoCr/AI, CoCr/C and CoCr/Si films. TEM SAD study revealed that the crystalline structure is a key factor determining the magnetic a...
متن کاملNeutron Depolarisation in Alumite in Remanent States after In-plane and Perpendicular Magnetisation
An alumite film for perpendicular recording is studied by 3-D analysis of a polarised neutron beam transmitted through the film in different directions. Magnetic correlations between the Fe needles are shown to differ after applying an in-plane or a perpendicular magnetic field.
متن کاملDomain wall effects in neutron depolarisation in Co-Cr films
A long-standing question connected with the magnetisation reversal mechanism in Co-Cr film is whether the film is to be considered as a continuous magnetic medium or as a medium composed of crystallites with parallel c-axes behaving magnetically as a collection of particles. A possibility to shed light on this question is to investigate the thickness of the domain walls (DWs). In a continuous m...
