실시간 자구 관찰이 가능한 광자기 현미경을 이용하여 강자성 나노자성체 CoFe 박막에서의 자화역전현상을 연구하였다. 흥미롭게도, 박막의 두께가 증가함에 따라 자구벽의 운동이 단일 자구벽의 운동 성향에서 무작위적인 자구들의 역전 성향으로 변함을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 자구벽 운동에서의 자구들의 점프사이즈들의 통계적인 해석 결과, CoFe박막에서의 자구역전현상이 임계지수 ${\tau}{\sim}1.33$를 가지는 임계축척현상을 보임을 알 수 있었다.

We report the experimental finding that there exists a transition of magnetization reversal process with varying the applied field in Co/Pd multilayer. We have measured the wall-motion speed V and the nucleation rate R during magnetization reversal via time-resolved direct domain observation, where the magnetization reversal process of Co/Pd multilayer is found to take a transition from thermal activation process to viscous process at the critical field of about 1.87 H$\_$C/ (coercivity). In the thermal activation regime, we find that the field dependences of two activation volumes for the wall-motion process and the nucleation process are different with each other, which reveals that the wall-motion and nucleation experience completely different interactions. In the viscous regime, we find that the wall-mobility is much smaller than a typical value for the sandwiched Co films, which implies that the Co/Pd interfaces in multilayer substantially contribute to the dynamic dissipation.

We performed magnetic force microscopy (MFM) observation on array of Co dots in order to understand magnetic state and magnetization behavior of submicron sized Co dots patterned on GaMnAs bridge. MFM observations showed the magnetization reversal and processes of local magnetization of individual ferromagnetic Co nanodots. Magnetic state of Co dots either single domain or vortex is dependent on geometrical size and thickness. Transition from single domain to vortex state can be realized with MFM tip assisted local field. Magnetization reversal process takes place through sequential reversal of individual dots. Localized inhomogeneous magnetic field can be manipulated by controlling magnetic state of individual Co dot in the array structure.

Magnetic field dependence of magnetization reversal in Co/Pt multilayers has been quantitatively investigated. Serial samples of Co/Pt multilayers have been prepared by dc-magnetron sputtering under various Ar pressure. Magnetization reversal was monitored by magnetization viscosity measurement and direct domain observation using a magneto-optical microscope system, and the wall-motion speed and the nucleation rate R were determined using a domain reversal model based on time-resolved domain reversal patterns. Both and R were found to be exponentially dependent on the reversing applied field. From the exponential dependencies, the activation volumes of the wall motion and nucleation could be determined based on a thermally activated relaxation model, and the wall-motion activation volume was revealed to be slightly larger than the nucleation activation volume.

Magnetic transmission soft X-ray microscopy has been used to study element-specifically the magnetization reversal behavior of ${(Co_{84}Cr_{16})}_{87}Pt_{l3}$ alloy thin films with a lateral resolution of 35 nm. Our results indicate that the magnetization switching is carried out by a random nucleation process that can be attributed to the reversal of individual grains. We found evidence of a large distribution of the switching fields at the nanogranular length scale, which has to be considered seriously for applications of CoCrPt systems as magnetic high density storage materials.

Since the first discovery of exchange anisotropy on Co/CoO system[1], there have been numerous studies to explore the physical origin of exchange-biased system[2,3]. In this presentation, we report that how the polarized neutron reflectomery can be applied to study the magnetization reversal behavior of the exchange biased system. As an example, the detailed magnetization reversal mechanism of the exchange-biased Py(30 nm)/FeMn (0, 15, 30 nm)/CoFe(30 nm) trilayers was studied and found that the 15 nm antiferromagnetic FeMn layer mediates the magnetization reversal behaviors of both Py and CoFe layers through interlayer exchange bias coupling. We also update the current activities in polarized neutron reflectometer in HANARO.

In order to pinpoint the different factors responsible for magnetization reversal, we performed simulation using OOMMF micromagnetic package for rectangular shaped permalloy element having length of $1{\mu}m$, width 50-100 nm and thickness 15-80 nm with length to width ratio L/W>4. Interestingly an increase in coercivity with thickness is found for every width below a critical thickness. With increasing width and thickness, the distinct behavior of coercivity, hysteresis loops and reversal mechanism are presented. Vortex end domains are observed during the magnetization reversal beyond particular thickness, where the three dimension reversal mechanism is expected to begin, causing a sudden increase in coercivity.

Co/Pd 다층박막의 자화반전 거동을 조사하기 위하여, 먼저 시료를 자기장 소거법으로 탈자시킨 다음 초기자화 곡선과 minor loops 를 측정하였다. 또한 보자력 및 포화자화는 수직자화곡선으로부터 구하였으며, 수직자기이방성은 온도별로 측정한 수직 및 수평자화곡선의 면적차이를 이용하여 구하였다. 자화반저거동의 분석을 위하여 여러가지 정상적이고 반정량적인 방법을 측정결과에 적용하였다. 이들 결과로부터 본 실험에 사용된 시료의 자화반전의 지배적인 거동은 자벽의 pinning이며, 스퍼터링 압력이 증가할수록 보자력이 증가하는 경향은 Kronmuller 식 $H_{c}$ (T) .var. $r_{o}$ .center dot. $K_{u}$에 의해 설명될 수 있었다.다.다.

Recently, there has been much interest in magnetic thin film patterned in submicron scale because of possible ultrahigh density storage media or logical device applications [1-3]. Various geometries such as rectangle, circle, ring and ellipse type dots have been studied to find the shape showing stable switching behavior from repeated cycles. However, rectangle and circle types may not be suitable for device applications because they have two uncontrollable different magnetization reversal modes: C state and S state, resulting in different coercivity and irreproducible switching[4].
