Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study is to elucidate the magnetization dynamics of single NdFeB dot. By combining our highly sensitive Hall effect magnetometry with the newly developed large amplitude ns pulse field generator, we have traced magnetization reversal process in single dot after application of slowly varying dc fields and ns pulse fields. Nucleation of reversed domains of about 100 nm in diameter takes place at same points for both cases, but the significant difference is observed in their following expansion. In the dc field case, neighboring nucleated domains are linked to each other, resulting in a maze-like domain structure, while nucleated domains tend to expand isotropically in the pulse field case. Such difference depending on application fields can be explained by assuming multiple energy barriers for magnetization reversal. This result leads us to believe that elimination of defects or something which lower the energy barrier contributes to the enhancement of coercivity.
