Polarized Neutron Reflectivity Investigation of Periodic Magnetic Rings

Abstract: Magnetic ring structures are of particular interest, due to stable remanent configurations such as the vortex state, which have potential in future magnetic random access memory (MRAM) applications. Here we report results on the first experimental study of periodic ring arrays using off-specular polarized neutron reflectivity (PNR). The experiments were performed on a 7.5 mm 5 mm NiFe array with an average ring diameter of 3.2 m, 0.7 m width, 25 nm thickness, and separation of 5.6 m. Using polarization analysi… Show more

“…By taking into account an inevitable misalignment of the external magnetic field with respect to the magnetic hard axis, the magnetic-field dependence can be understood as we describe below. 20,21 Increasing the magnetic field from H = 0 tilts the magnetization away from the easy axis. Consequently, ͉ xy ͉ increases and reaches the maximum when = 45°.…”

“…SNP and TAS have been employed to study magnetic ordering in antiferromagnetic crystals (Blanco et al , 2006; Hiess et al , 2001; Hiess et al , 2001; Poole et al , 2007; Zaharko et al , 2006), magnetization distributions (Boehm et al , 2003; Brown et al , 2002), magnetoelectric and multiferroic crystals and films (Brown et al , 2005; Cabrera et al , 2009; Lee et al , 2008; Ratcliff et al , 2011; Tian et al , 2008), and the interplay between magnetism and superconductivity (Chen et al , 2008; Schneider et al , 2006; Wang et al , 2011). The ability of NSFs to analyze the polarization of diffusely reflected neutrons has been applied to magnetic multilayers (Nickel et al , 2001), domain walls in magnetic thin films (Radu et al , 2003, 2005), periodic magnetic rings (Ogrin et al , 2007), and superlattices (Wildes et al , 2008). For SANS, NSFs allow for polarization analysis which has been implemented via SEOP at the NCNR (Gentile et al , 2000; Krycka et al , 2009), and via MEOP at the Hahn-Meitner Institute in Berlin, Germany (Keiderling et al , 2008; Wiedenmann, 2005) and the ILL (Honecker et al , 2010).…”
