  • We investigate effect of a point defect on the pinning potential for a perpendicular magnetic domain wall based on the NEB method. We find that this method can give a reasonable value for the pinning potential and allows us to study the effect of various geometrical and magnetic properties on the pinning potential. In the presentation, we will discuss the effect of Ku and wire width on the pinning potential in detail.

  • The coercivity mechanism in permanent magnets was analyzed according to the effects of domain nucleation and domain wall pinning. The coercivity mechanism of a TbCo thin film with high perpendicular magnetic anisotropy was considered in terms of the local inhomogeneity in the thin film. The initial magnetization curves of the TbCo thin films demonstrated domain wall pinning to be the main contributor to the coercivity mechanism than domain nucleation. Based on the coercivity model proposed by Kronmuller et al., the inhomogeneity size acting as a domain wall pinning site was determined. Using the measured values of perpendicular anisotropy constant ($K_u$), saturation magnetization ($M_s$), and coercivity ($H_c$), the inhomogeneity size estimated in a TbCo thin film with high coercivity was approximately 9 nm.

  • The energetics of defects in the presence of domain walls in $LiNbO_3$ are characterized using density-functional theory calculations. Domain walls show stronger interactions with antisite defects than with interstitial defects or vacancies. As a result, antisite defects act as a strong pinning center for the domain wall in $LiNbO_3$. Analysis of migration behavior of the antisite defects across the domain wall shows that the migration barrier of the antisite defects is significantly high, such that the migration of antisite defects across the domain wall is energetically not preferable. However, further study on excess electrons shows that the migration barrier of antisite defects can be lowered by changing the charge states of the antisite defects. So, excess electrons can enhance the migration of antisite defects and thus facilitate domain wall movement by weakening the pinning effect.

  • The dominant magnetization reversal behavior of electrodeposited CoPt samples with various thicknesses deposited at different current densities was the domain wall motion by means of wall pinning. The magnetic interaction mechanism was dipolar interaction for all samples. The dipolar interaction strength was significantly affected by the sample thickness rather than by the current density, while the magnetic properties were closely related to the current density.

  • 두께가 다른 CoPt 자성막을 전기도금법으로 제작하여 자화역전 기구와 자기상호작용이 자기역전 부피에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 자기모멘트 감쇠의 시간의존성과 잔류자기화 곡선 측정결과로부터 모든 시료의 지배적인 자화역전 기구는 자벽고착에 의한 자벽이동임을 알 수 있었다. 자기점성계수 및 비가역 자화율로부터 구한 자기역전 부피는 시료의 두께 및 인가 자기장의 세기에 거의 무관하게 일정하였으나, 자기역전 부피로부터 구한 역전 직경의 크기는 두께가 두꺼울수록 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이와 같은 현상은 자벽고착에 의해 제어되는 자벽운동과 쌍극자 상호작용에 의한 것으로 판단된다.

  • Magnetization behavior of sputter-deposited Co/Pd multilayers were characterized, and it has been found that even when the multilayers are sputtered at low pressure (10 mTorr), the coercivity of the multilayers can be increased to large extent without noticeable change of saturation magnetization by increasing the deposition pressure of Pd underlayer. It turned out that the surface topology of Pd underlayer gets rough as deposition pressure increases, which consequently affects the magnetization reversal mode of Co/Pd multilayers from domain wall motion to magnetic spin rotation. The enhancement of coercivity is attributed to the domain wall pinning effect which is comected with the surface roughness of Pd underlayer on which Co/Pd multilayers grow.

  • 금속마스크에 의해 패턴된 교환결합 이중박막 NiO(10∼60 nm)/NiFe(10 nm)의 모서리에서 발생한 여러 종류의 자구벽(magnetic domain wall)을 MFM(magnetic_ force microscopy)로 측정하였다. 박막의 모서리 경계선이 교환결합이방성 방향과 같은 방향일 때는 직선모양의 Neel 자구벽이 측정되었으며, 경계면이 이방성방향과 수직인 경우에는 zigzag Bloch 자구벽이 발견되었다. 이러한 자구벽은 NiO(60 nm)인 경우에는 교환결합세기(H$_{ex}$ = 75 Oe)가 박막경계면에서 발생한 반자장(demagnetization field) 세기보다 크기 때문에 발생하지 않았고, 교환결합세기가 약한 NiO(30 nm, H$_{ex}$ = 21 Oe)를 갖는 이중박막에서는 발견되었다. 이들 자구벽이 외부 자기장의 변화에 따라 움직이는 자화반전과정을 측정하기위해 $\pm$300 Oe까지 자기장을 가하면서 MFM을 측정하였다.
