摘要:

磁性纳米技术的发展依赖于对材料中纳米尺度磁性机制的详细理解。磁畴存储器(MDM),即,磁畴在场循环期间重复相同图案的趋势对于包括磁纪录开发在内的许多技术是重要的。我们展示了相干X射线磁散射研究揭示MDM在[Co/Pd]/IrMn薄膜。当被相干X射线照射时,[Co/Pd]多层中的磁畴产生其特定纳米级配置所特有的散斑图案。通过在整个磁化循环中互相关这种散斑图案,我们测量MDM。当冷却到其阻断温度以下时,膜表现出高达100%MDM,由与IrMn层的交换耦合引起。此外,MDM的程度极大地取决于冷却条件。如果薄膜在中等磁场下冷却,则MDM在整个磁化循环中都很高。当薄膜在近饱和场下冷却时,除了成核和饱和外,MDM消失

英文摘要:

The advance of magnetic nanotechnologies relies on detailed understanding of nanoscale magnetic mechanisms in materials. Magnetic domain memory (MDM), i.e., the tendency for magnetic domains to repeat the same pattern during field-cycling, is important to many technologies including magnetic recording developments. We show coherent x-ray magnetic scattering studies unveiling MDM in [Co/Pd]/IrMn films. When illuminated by coherent x-rays, the magnetic domains in the [Co/Pd] multilayer produce a speckle pattern unique to their specific nanoscale configuration. By cross-correlating such speckle patterns throughout the magnetization loop, we measure the MDM. When cooled below its blocking temperature, the film exhibits up to 100% MDM, induced by exchange-couplings with the IrMn layer. Furthermore, the degree of MDM drastically depends on cooling conditions. If the film is cooled under moderate fields, MDM is high throughout the entire magnetization loop. If the film is cooled under nearly saturating field, MDM vanishes, except at nucleation and saturation
