反铁磁耦合硬磁-软磁-硬磁三层膜体系的不可逆交换弹性反磁化过程

采用一维原子链模型研究了反铁磁耦合的硬磁/软磁/硬磁三层膜体系的反磁化过程. 研究结果表明,当考虑了软磁层的磁晶各向异性能后,软磁层厚度和界面交换耦合强度的改变都有可能导致软磁层的交换弹性反磁化过程由可逆过程转变为不可逆过程. 对软磁层很薄的体系,其反磁化过程是典型的可逆交换弹性反磁化过程. 然而,当软磁层厚度超过某一临界厚度t_c时,反磁化过程转变为不可逆的交换弹性反磁化过程. 软磁-硬磁界面交换耦合强度A_sh对反磁化行为也有很大的影响. 对于软磁层厚度小于临界厚度t_c的体系,也存在一个临界界面交换耦合强度A_sh^c. 当A_sh大于A_sh^c时,软磁层的反磁化过程是可逆的交换弹性反磁化过程;而当A_sh小于A_sh^c时,这一过程变为不可逆. 给出了体系的可逆与不可逆交换弹性反磁化过程随软磁层厚度和界面交换耦合强度变化的磁相图. 同时还研究了偏转场随软磁层厚度的变化关系. 关键词： 反铁磁耦合三层膜 交换弹性反磁化过程 反磁化机理 磁相图

Magnetization reversal in the pinned layer of CoFe/PtMn bilayers

The magnetization reversal of the ferromagnetic (FM) layer in CoFe/PtMn exchange-coupled bilayer films has been investigated using bulk magnetometry. These films exhibit very complex angular dependence and the easy axis is perpendicular to the field applied during deposition and post-annealing. Holding the film at negative saturation of the FM layer for up to 17 h results in no change in the exchange field. We believe that this is a thermally stable exchange-coupled system. Only limited thermal activation with a small time constant appears and no thermally activated reversal of the antiferromagnetic layer with a large time constant exits.     

Fe nanowires in carbon nanotubes as an example of a one-dimensional system of exchange-coupled ferromagnetic nanoparticles

The cooperative phenomena revealed in the field and temperature dependences of the magnetization in a system of iron nanoparticles in carbon nanotubes were studied experimentally. The character of the temperature dependences of the magnetization indicates that the ferromagnetic Fe particles in carbon nanotubes are exchange-coupled. In the region where the magnetization approaches saturation, the magnetization curves reveal the power dependence ΔM～ H^?3/2 typical for a one-dimensional system of exchange-coupled ferromagnetic nanoparticles.

Studies of the magnetic and reversal properties for thin CoCrTa films

The effects of magnetic layer thickness on film structural and magnetic properties were studied systematically with emphasis on the thermal effects on thin recording media films. X-ray diffraction measurements reveal structural changes as thickness decreases, and the existence of a “Cr enriched phase” associated with the interface. The saturation magnetization M_s decreases with thickness and the thickness of the “dead layer” was found to be ∼23 Å. Systematic measurements of effective anisotropy, coercivity and saturation magnetization as functions of temperature have been carried out. Magnetic viscosity measurements reveal that thermal stability is affected not only by grain sizes but also by anisotropy reduction associated with nanostructure evolution, as the film thickness decreases.     

Magnetic Properties of Exchange-Coupled Dual-Layer SmTbCo Thin Films

Exchange-coupled SmTbCo dual-layer media are prepared by an r.f magnetron sputtering system and their magnetic properties are investigated. The prepared SmTbCo dual layer is composed of a 340 emu/cm^3 TM-rich readout layer and a 5.80 kOe RE-rich memory layer, meeting the requirements of high saturation magnetization and large coercivity for hybrid recording. Through exchange coupling, the coercivity of the high-saturation- magnetization SmTbCo layer is greatly enhanced from 1.85 to 5.96 kOe. The calculated interface wall energy for Sm6.65Tb12.35Co81 （20nm）/Sm1.22Tb42.16Co56.62 （20hm） is about 3.85erg/cm62. The reversal magnetization of the SmTbCo exchange-coupling dual-layer films is analysed based on a micro-magnetic model.     

Asymmetric kinetics of magnetization reversal of thin exchange-coupled ferromagnetic films

This paper reports on the results of the investigation of the kinetics of magnetization reversal in FeNi-FeMn ferromagnet-antiferromagnet thin hybrid films grown by magnetron sputtering on silicon substrates in the presence of in-plane magnetic field, which provided unidirectional in-plane magnetic anisotropy in the ferromagnetic layer and a single-domain structure of the ferromagnet in the absence of an external magnetic field. The constructed hysteresis loops and magnetization loci have made it possible to reveal the specific features of the magnetization reversal process of an exchange-coupled ferromagnet, to establish new types of asymmetry, and to obtain new proofs for the existence of a spin spring at the ferromagnet-antiferromagnet interface. The visualization of the magnetization reversal process has allowed one to establish a one-to-one correspondence between the macrocharacteristics of the material and the real processes occurring in ferromagnet-antiferromagnet hybrid structures.
