Acquisition of vector hysteresis loops from micro-arrays of nano-magnets

A modified scanning Kerr microscope has been used as a static Kerr magnetometer to acquire in-plane vector hysteresis loops from square Si/Ta(50 Å)/Co 80Fe 20(40 Å)/Ni 88Fe 12(108 Å)/Ta(100 Å) elements with size ranging from 123 nm to 10 μm. The nanoscale elements were arranged in square arrays of 4...

description A modified scanning Kerr microscope has been used as a static Kerr magnetometer to acquire in-plane vector hysteresis loops from square Si/Ta(50 Å)/Co 80Fe 20(40 Å)/Ni 88Fe 12(108 Å)/Ta(100 Å) elements with size ranging from 123 nm to 10 μm. The nanoscale elements were arranged in square arrays of 4 μm size. The laser beam was focused to a sub-micron spot, while polarization changes were recorded with an optical bridge detector containing a beam-splitting polarizer and two quadrant photodiodes. The coercive field exhibited a non-monotonic increase from 11 Oe in the 10 μm element to 170 Oe in the 123 nm elements. Loops acquired with the field applied parallel to the easy and hard in-plane uniaxial anisotropy axes were observed to become more similar in shape as the element size decreased.
