  • A new non-destructive inspection technique has been developed. One characteristic of the technique is that defects are visualized by laser ray. Magnetic domains and domain walls of a magneto-optical sensor(MO sensor) are varied by the magnetic flux leaked by defects, and the variations are observed by the reflected light of the laser ray. The information of defect can remotely be inspected by this technique in a real time. This paper describes the results estimated on the 2-dimensional surface defects and opposite-side defects in a ferromagnetic material and the natural surface defect in a clutch disk wheel. The light region of a visible image and the magnitude of a reflected light increases as the input current of the magnetizer increases. The natural surface defect, that has not the width of crack's open mouth, can be also visualized like as 2-dimensional artificial defects.

  • We investigate the field-dependence of energy barrier for various cell diameters and two type of geometry through the NEB method. We find that the energy barrier can depend strongly on the cell size when the switching is governed by the domain wall motion. Moreover we also examine the cell size dependence of energy barrier for two type of cell geometry. In the presentation, we will discuss the effect of domain wall formation and more various cell size on the energy barrier in detail.

  • We investigate the switching current for various cell diameters and DM interaction. We find that the current density for switching can depend strongly on the cell size when the switching is governed by the domain wall motion. Moreover the switching current density is also strongly influenced by DM interaction. In the presentation, we will discuss the effect of domain wall formation and more various DMI constant on the switching current desity in detail.

  • $200{\AA}$ thick Co/Pd multilayered thin films were fabricated by sputtering. Two thicknesses of cobalt sublayer, $2{\AA}$ and $4{\AA}$ were chosen and the effects of sputtering pressure on the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy were investigated. It has been found that the optimum pressure for maximum perpendicular magnetic anisotropy(PMA) existed and the pressure for maximum PMA was lower for the multilayer with $2{\AA}$ cobalt layer than that with $4{\AA}$ cobalt thickness. As the sputtering gas presssure increased, domain wall motion with magnetization became difficult and the predominant mode of magnetization reversal changed from domain wall motion to magnetic moment rotation. It turned out that the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy was higher in case of $2{\AA}$ cobalt thickness than $4{\AA}$ cobait thickness.

  • The magnetization pattern of the central cross section deduced from the ac susceptibility measurement is described with an analytical function. The function is based on a charge-free configuration. The thickness of the $^{\circ}$ wall lying in a (100) plane and the wall energy are calculated analytically. Total energy of the domain structure has been minimized with Ritz's method. As the result of the minimization, the energy density of the $^{\circ}$ wall lying in a (100) plane is $0.58\;erg/cm^{2}$ and the one for a (110) plane is $1.18\;erg/cm^{2}$. Thicknesses of these walls are calculated numerically. Also, the calculation indicates there is a small central domain at the cross section without applied current. With the ac susceptibility measurement the existence of the domain without current can be identified.

  • It is necessary to measure the direct current with a non-contact methodology for the liquid or gas phase, as welt as the conducting metals. This paper described a theoretical consideration and experimental verification for a non-contact quantitative direct current measurement system using the Faraday effect and magnetic flux leakage. The leakage of magnetic flux occurs around a gap when a ferromagnetic core including the discontinuous gap is magnetized. Two large anisotropic domains in a magneto-optical film are occurred by the vertical component of leaked magnetic flux and the domain walls are paralleled to the center of the gap. Here, the symmetrical arrangement of domains are deflected when a vertical magnetic field is applied to the magneto-optical film. The domain wall of the magneto-optical film are relocated when a measuring current passes through the ferromagnetic core. Therefore, a direct current passing through the core can be determined quantitatively by the measurement of moving distance of the domain wall.
