Abstract:This work presents the results of a study of the influence of dimensional and concentration effects on magnetoresistive and magnetic properties and structural-phase state of annealed at Ta 700 K samples of thin film alloys based on Co and Cu with thickness d 40 nm in a wide range of total concentrations of Co (18 ≤ cCo ≤ 69 at. %). The samples were obtained by the method of co-evaporation in vacuum using two independent electron guns. It was found that samples of thin film alloys with a total concentration… Show more
“…Another cause is surface anisotropy it could be suggested that the Co particles embedded in the Ag matrix are single-domain fine particles [39]. This perpendicular anisotropy has been observed in other granular films such as sputtered Ag-Co, Cu-Co, Co-Al-O and FeCoZr-CaF2 [14,18,19,[40][41][42][43]. In granulated materials the magnitude of the coercive force Hc depends on the size of magnetic granules [44,45].…”
Co-Ag granular films were prepared by electrodeposition method. The influence of the composition of thin films on their structure, granular size and magneic properties is presented. structural techniques (XRD and TEM) confirmed the heterogeneity of the deposits with a size distribution from superparamagnetic to ferromagnetic particles. Fcc-Ag and Fcc-Co were present in the coatings. The increase of the Co concentration in the film alloys leads to an increase in the size of magnetic granules and a simultaneous decrease of the distance between them. The in-plane easy magnetization axis is found for all samples. Using these results, we computed the first, second magnetic anisotropy factors. Values of the computed effective magnetic anisotropy factors higher than 0.53×10 6 erg/cm 3 have been found.
