    Notes: An effective method for preparing thin films of colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) materials is by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). We have studied such films by measuring the temperature and field dependence of dc resistance, magnetization, and specifically ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). With PLD it is possible to prepare samples with reasonable homogeneity as observed with x-ray diffraction and Rutherford backscattering. However, we have found that samples that appear to be reasonably, crystalographically homogeneous are not necessarily magnetically homogeneous. We believe that a powerful technique for examining magnetic homogeneity in this class of CMR samples is via FMR. In FMR, the resonance linewidth is an indicator of the average sample homogeneity, but this technique is much more informative when used in a scanning mode that we have developed. Scanning FMR data will be shown for several CMR samples prepared from La0.7R0.3MnO3 (R=Ca, Ba) targets using PLD. We find that some complex multiline spectra (observed when the sample is measured as a whole) are actually a superposition of simpler spectra with spatially localized resonance lines. Resonance lines are also found that are present throughout the sample. The spatial variation of FMR lines we observe is a direct measure of the spatial inhomogeneity of the magnetic environment. We will discuss the FMR spatial variations as a function of sample preparation, and subsequent oxygen and argon annealing conditions. ©1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Preparation and quantitative magnetic studies of single-domain nickel cylinders : The 40th annual conference on magnetism and magnetic materials (1996)

    Notes: For a complete experimental and theoretical explanation of the magnetic processes in an interacting collection of submicron magnetic particles, a fundamental understanding of the magnetic properties of individual single-domain particles must first be achieved. We have prepared elongated Ni columns ranging in diameter from 0.15 to 1.0 μm by electroplating into specially prepared Al2O3 and glass channeled pore membranes. We have also prepared controlled arrays of Ni columns using e-beam lithography, subsequently electroplating into the written patterns. Using transmission electron microscopy, we have characterized the shape, size, morphology, and crystal structure of the columns. Magnetic force microscopy has been used to determine the switching field Hs versus the applied field angle of the columns. Although the switching field data can be fit to the functional form for nucleation by curling in an infinite cylinder, the observed weak dependence of Hs on column diameter is inconsistent with that expected for curling, particularly for columns of diameter (approximately-greater-than)0.3 μm. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Investigation of the magnetization reversal mode for individual ellipsoidal single-domain particles of γ-Fe2O3 (1994)

    Notes: We report measurements of the angular dependence of the switching field of individual ellipsoidal single-domain ferromagnetic particles. The measurements were carried out by Lorentz magnetometry on submicrometer γ-Fe2O3 particles and provide insights into the magnetization reversal for individual ellipsoidal particles of known morphology. The functional form of the switching field data indicates that the particles reverse by curling over a narrow range near 0 degrees and by coherent rotation at all larger angles. A value of 3±2×10−7 erg/cm for the exchange constant of the γ-Fe2O3 is obtained from these measurements. We suggest that the long desired goal of complete characterization of the magnetic properties of individual single-domain particles is now feasible.

    Measurement of thermal switching of the magnetization of single domain particles (invited) : 38th Annual Conference on Magnetism and Magnetic Materials (1994)

    Notes: We present an experimental study of the thermally activated switching of the magnetization of individual isolated γ-Fe2O3 particles. These particles are prolate ellipsoids ∼3000 A(ring) long and 650 A(ring) wide. The measured angular dependence of the switching field, Hs(θ), is consistent at large angles with a uniform rotation, but as θ approaches zero, other modes of reversal appear possible, and most likely the mode of reversal is curling. By measuring the probability of reversal of the moment as a function of time and applied magnetic field at T∼300 K, we found that the switching was thermally assisted, but couldn't be described by hopping over a single energy barrier. Our results indicate that the dynamics of switching are described by a complex path in the energy landscape.

    Notes: Quantitative measurements of the switching field properties of individual single-domain particles are both scientifically and technologically important. Such data are relevant for the engineering of a patterned magnetic storage medium where a single bit of information corresponds to individual single-domain particles with sizes consistent with storage densities 〉50 Gbit/in2. By electroplating into Al2O3 and track-etched polycarbonate filters, we have prepared particles over a large range of radii from R=20–500 nm, and have characterized them by transmission electron microscopy. Using a magnetic force microscope with an in situ electromagnet, we have quantified the extent to which the particles can be considered "single-domain." We have also measured the angular dependence of the switching field Hs for these particles. At zero degrees, Hs lies above the curling curve for R/R0〉4, and falls below the curling curve for R/R0〈2, where R0 is the exchange length (R0=20.6 nm for Ni). At intermediate radii, the angular dependence data are close to the curling curve with a crossover of the data and the curling solution at R/R0∼3. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have searched for superconductivity in a wide variety of stoichiometries in the Y-Ni-B-C system, using Yx(NiB)Cy phase spread alloy thin films and the magnetic field modulated microwave absorption technique. The superconducting critical temperature (Tc) varies with the stoichiometry, showing the highest Tc for a Y/Ni ratio of 1/2, attributed to the YNi2B2C phase. We found no other superconducting phases with a Tc higher than 10 K. Furthermore, a search in YxNiB(C1−zNz)y and YxNiBNy phase spread alloys showed no superconductivity. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Measurement of the scattered light magneto-optical Kerr effect from plasmon-resonant Ag particles near a magnetic film : The 41st annual conference on magnetism and magnetic materials (1997)

    Notes: The magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) of light scattered from plasmon-resonant Ag particles placed near a magnetic sample is investigated. Ag particles were deposited on sputtered NiFe films with an SiO2 spacer layer of known thickness. The MOKE signal in the scattered light was found to vary strongly with the observation angle. For s-polarized incident light, no MOKE rotation was found in the normal direction, and the rotation signal switched sign as the observation direction passes through the surface normal direction. Conversely, p-polarized incident light generated a nonzero MOKE signal in the normal direction. In general, the MOKE signal increased for decreasing spacer thickness, and in addition the angular distribution of the MOKE changed, for both s- and p-incident polarizations. Implications for MOKE near-field optical microscopy using plasmon-resonant Ag particles as probes are discussed. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    A scanning microscope using a magnetoresistive head as the sensing element : The 40th annual conference on magnetism and magnetic materials (1996)

    Notes: We have built a scanning probe microscope where a magnetoresistive (MR) head is used as the sensing element. The sensor region of the MR head is about 5 μm wide and 30 nm thick giving high resolution in one direction and poor resolution in the other. As MR heads with smaller cross-track dimensions are developed, submicron resolution in this direction should also be realizable. The MR head is mounted on a piezoelectric bimorph and vibrated perpendicular to the plane of the sample, and the ac voltage output of the head is detected with a lock-in amplifier. We have imaged pre-recorded bits as a function of scan height, and also imaged bits that were written using the write element of the same MR head. The typical voltage change through a transition is ∼4 μV, two orders of magnitude smaller than signals generated on a spin stand. This is most likely due to the difficulty in setting the slider parallel to within submilliradian accuracy to the plane of the sample. Our positioning system does not have this capability at this time. With modifications in the positioning stage, this device should provide a valuable tool for investigating the recording and playback processes, and for characterizing media and heads at ever decreasing track widths, bit separations, and flying heights. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have fabricated arrays of high aspect ratio nickel columns in both PMMA and SiO2, and we have characterized their structure using transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. We have also characterized the magnetics of the columns with magnetic force microscopy. Such characterization of high aspect ratio perpendicular magnetic particles is only rarely found in the literature. This work lays a foundation for further studies to test the viability of lithographically defined arrays of magnetic particles as an alternative high density storage medium. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Scanning magnetoresistance microscopy (SMRM): Imaging with a MR head : The 41st annual conference on magnetism and magnetic materials (1997)

    Notes: We have developed a new scanning magnetic microscopy that uses commercial magnetoresistive (MR) record/playback heads as sense probes. A high-resolution, linearized positioning stage is used to raster scan a magnetic sample with respect to the MR head while the head is in physical contact with the sample. An upper bound on the spatial resolution of the scanning magnetoresistance microscope (SMRM) is 100 nm in the "downtrack" direction and 1–2 μm in the "crosstrack" direction of the head. Magnetic force microscopy has better spatial resolution than SMRM, but SMRM gives a more quantifiable signal since the MR head response can be calibrated in a uniform external field. Furthermore, SMRM has the unique ability to apply localized fields to the sample via the inductive write element. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
