“…Mainly, antidot lattices are investigated in magnetic thin films with in-plane anisotropy where the strong influence of the nanostructures due to emergent demagnetization fields at the hole edges is obvious [12]. This is widely used to tune the magnetic anisotropy [13][14][15] and coercivity [16][17][18] of these thin films, and the microscopic origin is well established in literature [15,[19][20][21][22][23][24]. To gain an understanding of the processes involved in the magnetization reversal a multitude of approaches have been combined, namely, micromagnetic simulations [15,19,20], magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) measurements [23,24], photo electron emission microscopy (PEEM) with x-ray circular dichroism (XMCD) contrast [21], scanning x-ray microscopy (SXM) with XMCD contrast [24], and first-order reversal curve (FORC) measurements [19,22,24].…”
