Abstract
This study investigated the magnetic properties of $Ni_{80}Fe_{20}/SiO_2$ laminates with shape-induced magnetic anisotropy. The multilayer films were deposited on Si or upilex substrates, from separate $Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$ and $SiO_2$ (at %) alloy targets using a rf diode sputtering system. $Ni_{80}Fe_{20}/SiO_2$ laminates with a various number of bilayers (N) were prepared. The laminates with ellipse array patterns were prepared using photolithographic technique. The magnetic properties were measured at room temperature using a B-H hysteresisgraph and a high frequency permeameter. The several steps during domain wall reversal were observed in multilayer films, attributing to inter-magnetic layer coupling. Intrinsic uniaxial anisotropy field increases with N. The experimental values of the total anisotropy field are found to be in good agreement with the calculated values. This study utilized the shape anisotropy of the laminated film objects with small ellipse array patterns to induce a larger uniaxial anisotropy so as to maximize their operating frequency.
