In this work, we study thin-film limits of the full three-dimensional Ginzburg–Landau model for a superconductor in an applied magnetic field oriented obliquely to the film surface. We obtain Γ−convergence results in several regimes, determined by the asymptotic ratio between the magnitude of the parallel applied magnetic field and the thickness of the film. Depending on the regime, we show tha...

Composite thin films are a new area of study with many applications, e.g. metal + oxide thin films in high density magnetic recording media. Engineering the processing, microstructure and properties of these thin films is of great importance. It has been found that microstructures of the thin films depend strongly on the oxide volume fraction and pressure during sputtering. Surface diffusion an...

We investigated the magnetic properties of thin film samples with different number of layers stacked by the LB technique. The film samples showed a magnetically complex behavior in low temperature region, which is insufficiently explained by the idea of the homogenous dipole interaction field analogous to the demagnetizing field. The film thickness dependent behavior is discussed in terms of a ...

The magnetotransport and magnetic properties of chemically ordered ~001! L10 FePt epitaxial thin films with small scale perpendicularly magnetized stripe domains have been investigated. Film growth conditions are used to systematically vary the degree of chemical order, the magnetic anisotropy, and magnetic domain sizes. The longitudinal and transverse ~Hall! resistivities are correlated with b...

magnetic properties of cobalt nanostructure thin films" (2009). Faculty Publications from Nebraska Center for Materials and Nanoscience. We report on optical, structural, and magnetic properties of two substantially different cobalt nanostructure thin films deposited at an oblique angle of incidence of 85° away from the substrate normal. Comparison is made between an achiral columnar thin film ...

Electro deposition of NiFeWS thin films was carried out from diammonium citrate bath at a constant current density (1 A/dm 2 ) and controlled pH of 8 by varying the citrate bath concentration(0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 mol / lit). Physical properties such as surface morphology, microstructure and magnetic properties such as coercivity, saturation magnetization and magnetic flux density were investigate...

We investigated the magnetic structure of an orthorhombic YMnO(3) thin film by resonant soft x-ray and hard x-ray diffraction. We observed a temperature-dependent incommensurate magnetic reflection below 45 K and a commensurate lattice-distortion reflection below 35 K. These results demonstrate that the ground state is composed of coexisting E-type and cycloidal states. Their different ordering...

Electron holography is applied for the study of the leakage field of thin-film ferromagnetic tips used as probes in magnetic force microscopy. We used commercially available pyramidal tips covered on one face with a thin NiCo film, which were then placed in a high external magnetic field directed along the pyramid axis. Good agreement between simulated and experimental electron phase difference...
