dc.description.abstract | The magnetization reversal of CoCrPt thin films has been examined as a function of thickness using magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) microscopy and first-order reversal curves (FORC) techniques. MOKE images show differentiated magnetization reversal regimes for different film thicknesses: while the magnetic domains in 10-nm-thick CoCrPt film resemble a fractal structure, a labyrinth stripe domain configuration is observed for 20-nm-thick films. Although FORC distributions for both cases show two main features related to irreversible processes (propagation and annihilation fields) separated by a mostly flat region, this method can nonetheless distinguish which magnetization reversal process is active according to the horizontal profile of the first FORC peak, or propagation field. A single-peak FORC profile corresponds to the fractal magnetization reversal, whereas a flat-peak FORC profile corresponds to the labyrinth magnetization reversal. | en_US |
