摘要:

本文研究了一系列不同厚度的FePt铁磁薄膜的磁畴结构与磁相互作用之间的关系。所作的薄膜生长在软磁和化学无序的A1相,可能有两个不同的域结构。在临界厚度$d_{cr}\sim 30$ nm以上,平面外各向异性的存在诱导条纹的形成,而对于$d<d_{cr}$,出现平面域。磁相互作用的特点是使用众所周知的DCD-剩磁协议,$δM$图,和磁粘度测量。我们已经观察到的域配置和磁相互作用的符号之间的强相关性。平面域与正交换类相互作用,而条纹域有很强的负偶极类贡献。在这最后一种情况下,我们已经发现的相互作用参数和条纹畴结构的表面偶极能量之间的密切相关性。使用随时间变化的磁粘度测量,我们还估计了磁反转的平均激活体积,$\langle V_{ac}\rangle \sim 1.37\times 10^{4}$ nm $^{3},$,这是近似独立的膜厚度或条纹周期。

英文摘要:

We have investigated the relationship between the domain structure and the magnetic interactions in a series of FePt ferromagnetic thin films of varying thickness. As-made films grow in the magnetically soft and chemically disordered A1 phase that may have two distinct domain structures. Above a critical thickness $d_{cr}\sim 30$ nm the presence of an out of plane anisotropy induces the formation of stripes, while for $d<d_{cr}$ planar domains occur. Magnetic interactions have been characterized using the well known DCD-IRM remanence protocols, $δM$ plots, and magnetic viscosity measurements. We have observed a strong correlation between the domain configuration and the sign of the magnetic interactions. Planar domains are associated with positive exchange-like interactions, while stripe domains have a strong negative dipolar-like contribution. In this last case we have found a close correlation between the interaction parameter and the surface dipolar energy of the stripe domain structure. Using time dependent magnetic viscosity measurements, we have also estimated an average activation volume for magnetic reversal, $\langle V_{ac}\rangle \sim 1.37\times 10^{4}$ nm$^{3},$ which is approximately independent of the film thickness or the stripe period.
