Управление микромагнитной структурой многофазных тонких пленок CoPt путем варьирования толщин слоев

Abstract

The magnetic properties and micromagnetic structure of [Co/Pt]10 multilayer magnetic films formed by independent variation of the Co and Pt layer thicknesses have been studied. The possibility of the film magnetization parameters manipulation was shown. It is found that the micromagnetic structure of the layers is significantly modified with a change in the thickness of the layers which correlates with the magnetization data. In particular, magnetic force microscopy revealed a system of magnetic skyrmions for a number of structures. The skyrmion density was found to be dependent on the growth conditions which in turn correlates with the shape of the magnetic hysteresis loop. Changing the thickness of the Co and Pt layers makes it possible to control the density of skyrmions in the range from 0.2 to 10.5 µm-2.
