Owing to the competition between domain wall pinning energy and weak uniaxial magnetic anisotropy, the typical magnetization reversal process of Fe ultrathin film can take place via either an "l-jump" process near the easy axis, or a "2-jump" process near the hard axis, depending on the applied field orientation. Besides, the hysteresis loop presents strong asymmetry resulting from the variation of the detected light intensity due to the quadratic magneto-optic effect. Furthermore, we modify the detectable light intensity formula and simulate the hysteresis loops of the Kerr signal. The results show that they are in good agreement with the experimental data.展开更多

This problem is solved by finding the rigorous solution of each layer from Maxwell equation and the appropriate transmission Green's function matrix G. From the relationship of Green's function matrixes of dielectric layer and ferrite layer, the dispersion equation is obtained. The MSSW filter is designed to verify the dispersion characteristics. The experiment results are in good agreement with the calculating data from the model.展开更多

In-plane uniaxial magnetic anisotropy was observed in the virgin state. The strain induced by bending the flexible substrate was applied on the sample to change the magnetic properties of CoFeB.The strain induced uniaxial magnetic anisotropy changed linearly with the deformation by about 8.41 × 10^4erg/cm^3 at 1%of deformation. Our results prove the magnetic properties of CoFeB grown on flexible polyimide substrate can be tuned effectively by bending, which could be important for future flexible spintronics.展开更多
