Thermomagnetically patterned micromagnets

Abstract: International audienceThermomagnetic patterning TMP of 4 m thick high performance NdFeB hard magnetic films deposited on Si substrates has been achieved using single pulsed laser irradiation. Uniaxially magnetised chessboard and stripe patterns with lateral feature sizes in the range 50-100 m were produced. The depth of reversal was estimated, using both global vibrating sample magnetometry and localized scanning Hall probe measurements, to be in the range of 1.1-1.2 m. A simple model provides semiquantitative… Show more

“…The external field of -0.1 T represents a typical value that could be applied on the magnetic film by a driving coil in a device, while the external field of -0.5 T represents a typical value that the film could feel in the vicinity of a bulk magnet, and corresponds to the field value used during thermomagnetic patterning. 8 For the thermal cycling measurements, the films were first saturated at 300K and then the film was cycled 100 times between 293K and a given set temperature (323K or 343K) under zero field and the remanence was measured at the upper and lower temperatures of each cycle. Finally, room temperature hysteresis loops were measured on all samples following the above detailed measurements.…”

“…2,7 Hard magnetic films may be exposed to elevated temperatures either in the course of fabrication (e.g. during thermomagnetic patterning (TMP) to produce multi-pole structures, 8 or during wafer bonding or device packaging steps) or during device use, and therefore it is important to know the thermal resistance of the magnetic film. Most reports on the temperature dependent properties of NdFeB-based magnets concern samples with elemental additions (e.g.…”

“…ilm magnets, such as a Nd-Fe-B, Sm-Co or Fe-Pt film, were prepared by a lot of researchers using several deposition methods [1]- [18]. Our group has focused on a PLD method to obtain isotropic Nd-Fe-B thick-film magnets with the maximum thickness up to 1250 μm on metal substrates (Ta, Fe, W) under the relatively high deposition rate of several-ten-microns per hour and applied the films to several miniaturized electronic devices [19]- [21].…”

“…Micro-patterning of such films, using topographic (lithography) 19 or thermo-magnetic (temperature control of magnetization reversal) 20 approaches, produces micron-sized permanent magnets characterized by stray magnetic field gradients as high as 10 6 T/m. 21 The flat surface of thermo-magnetically patterned films facilitates their integration into microfluidic devices, and they have been used to trap magnetic particles (SiO 2 and polystyrene particles containing magnetic nanoparticles) within such a device.…”
