Magnetic properties of Co/Pd multilayered films on porous Al2O3 templates with developed cell substructure

详细

We studied the structure and magnetic properties of porous multilayered Co/Pd films deposited on the templates of anodized Al₂O₃ with a specific surface morphology that is characterized by a cellular–porous structure with several pores inside each cell. X-ray diffraction analysis and reflectometry are used to study the peculiarities of the formation of phases in deposited films. The effect of morphological features of porous Co/Pd films on their magnetoanisotropic properties and magnetization reversal processes (magnetization reversal mechanisms, domain structure of films, and coercive field H_c) is revealed by SQUID magnetometry and magnetic force microscopy.
