Spin Hall Effect Mediated Current Induced Magnetization Reversal in Perpendicularly Magnetized Pt/Co/Pt Based Systems

Vineeth Mohanan, P January 2016 (has links) (PDF)
In the present thesis, magnetization reversal in both out-of-plane and in-plane magnetized thin lms and in devices fabricated out of those lms are explored. Pt/Co/Pt stacks with ultrathin Co layer were in-estimated initially for understanding their magnetic properties in this thesis. These perpendicular magnetized systems are good candidates for magnetic hard disc drives due to their large anisotropy, which may allow miniaturization of magnetic data storage devices. The spin Hall e ect mediated current-induced magnetization reversal in patterned Pt/Co/Pt devices were extensively investigated. Investigation of the magnetization reversal by means of a current instead of a magnetic eld is necessary to explore the possibilities of solid state magnetic memory devices. This is the primary motivation behind the investigation of current-induced magnetization reversal in Pt/Co/Pt system, in this thesis. Another important proposal for magnetic data storage is the race track memory, where the domain walls separating magnetic domains (in in-plane or out-of-plane magnetized materials) are moved by using a current. This involves a great deal of understanding of the domain wall motion in Nano-conduits under applied magnetics ends, and currents and also its interaction with engineered geometrical features. In this thesis work, magnetic led-driven domain wall pinning and deepening experiments on in-plane magnetized nanowires of perm alloy were performed to un-distend this interaction and the e act of domain wall chirality. In chapter 1, a general introduction to di errant data storage technologies and the current progress in the leg of spintronic is presented. This will highlight a perspective of this thesis work with respect to the present day research in spintronic and magnetization reversal studies. In chapter 2, a basic background of magnetism using the micromag-netic framework is illustrated. A brief introduction to magnetic domain walls is also presented. The Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert dynamical equation is discussed and some case studies applied to a single domain particle with uniaxial anisotropy under the effect of spin-orbit torque are illu trated. The basics of spin-orbit coupling leading to spin Hall e ect is also explain In chapter 3, most of the essential experimental tools along with their basic working principles are described. Extensive e orts have been in-vested in designing and building the experimental tools. These include custom designs of a sputter deposition system, an ultra-high vacuum chamber for pulsed laser ablation, a magneto-optic Kerr e ect magne-tometer, a Kerr imaging system and a magneto-transport setup. All of these experimental setups have been automated, details of which are brie y discussed in this chapter. The Kerr imaging system was designed to measure hysteresis loops, observe domain wall motion and to measure domain wall velocity under applied magnetic elds and electric current. The magneto-transport setup was used for studying the domain wall pinning and depinning experiments in permalloy nanowires. In chapter 4, the optimization process for obtaining perpendicular mag-netic anisotropy in Pt/Co/Pt lms is described. The spin reorientation transition with varying thickness of Co (from 1.5 nm down to 0.35 nm) was studied. The magnetization easy axis direction changes from in-plane to out-of-plane as the thickness of Co is reduced. The dependence of Curie temperatures of ultrathin Co lms, with thickness as low as 0.35 nm, on the underlayer Pt thickness and its crystallinity was studied in detail. The e act of Ta but err layer on the texture of the Pt lm, and on the Curie temperature of the Pt/Co/Pt system was evaluated. To gain further insight of the role of the bottom Pt/Co and the top Co/Pt interfaces, ultrathin Cu lbs were inserted at the respective interfaces, and the anisotropy and magnetization reversal behaviour of these lbs were investigated. In chapter 5, studies on current-induced magnetization reversal in mi-corn sized wires of Pt/Co/Pt trilete is presented. The spin Hall e act assisted spin-orbit torque was used to reversibly switch the magnetization of these devices with and without the help of an external magnetic led. Since both the top and bottom layers are Pt, any contribution from Rashia e act towards spin-orbit torque could be ignored. By preparing devices with unequal top and bottom Pt thicknesses, a net spin-orbit torque could be applied to the magnetization of the Co layer. The thickness gradient/induced anisotropy in the Co layer was utilized to experimentally investigate current-induced deterministic switching. Sin-gel domain simulations with spin-orbit torque were also carried out to understand the mechanism of deterministic switching of magnetization in Pt/Co/Pt devices. This study is expected to have made sign cant contributions and to open up the possibilities of further investigation in the studies of spin-orbit torque in Pt/Co/Pt systems for solid state magnetic memory devices. In chapter 6, magnetic led-induced reversal in systems with in-plane magnetic anisotropy is presented. Here the e act of the width of a Nanos-trip on the anisotropy of a soft magnetic material like perm alloy was in-estimated. By introducing a nucleation pad to one end of the perm alloy nanowire, a single domain wall was generated at the junction with apple-cation of a proper magnetic led sequence. This domain wall could be in-jested into the nanowire by a magnetic led and pinned at a geometrical constriction inside the nanowire. The statistics of domain wall pinning and deepening processes indicated two di errant types of domain walls involved in the reversal process. With the assistance of micro magnetic simulations the domain walls were ident end as vortex walls of di errant chirality’s. Thus the interaction of domain walls with a Nano constriction and its dependence on the chirality of domain walls are understood. In chapter 7, a brief summary of the results obtained during the course of investigations is presented. An outlook presented at the end will help the readers of this thesis to understand the important research problems in this area and their potential future aspects.

Magnetization Reversal in Film-Nanostructure Architectures 

Schulze, Carsten 13 May 2014 (has links) (PDF)
The concept of percolated perpendicular media (PPM) for magnetic data storage is expected to surpass the areal storage density of 1 Tbit in -², which is regarded as the fundamental limit of conventional granular CoCrPt:oxide based recording media. PPM consist of a continuous ferromagnetic thin film with densely distributed defects acting as pinning sites for magnetic domain walls. In this study, practical realizations of PPM were fabricated by the deposition of [Co/Pt]8 multilayers with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy onto nanoperforated templates with various perforation diameters and periods. The structural defects given by the templates serve as pinning sites for the magnetic domain walls within the [Co/Pt]8 multilayers. Magnetometry at both the integral and the local level was employed to investigate the influence of the template on the magnetization reversal and the domain wall pinning. It was found, that magnetic domains can be pinned at the ultimate limit, between three adjacent pinning sites. The coercivity and the depinning field, which both are a measure for the strength of the magnetic domain wall pinning, were found to increase with increasing perforation diameter. The size of magnetic domains within the magnetic film appeared not to depend solely on the diameter of the nanoperforations or on the period of the template, but on the ration between diameter and period. By means of micromagnetic simulations it was found, that the presence of ferromagnetic material within the pinning site given supports the pinning of magnetic domain walls, compared to a pinning site that is solely given by a hole in the magnetic thin film. Investigation of the evolution of the magnetization in magnetic fields smaller than the coercive field revealed, that the energy barrier against thermally induced magnetization reversal is sufficiently large to provide long-term (> 10 years) stability of an arbitrary magnetization state. This could also be qualitatively supported by micromagnetic simulations. Static read/write tests with conventional hard disk recording heads revealed the possibility of imprinting bit patterns into the PPM under study. The minimum bit pitch that could be read back thereby depended on the period of the nanoperforated template.

鈷/鉑垂直磁化多層膜中結構對磁耦合及電性的影響 / Influence of structure on magnetic coupling and electric properties in cobalt/platinum multilayer with spontaneously perpendicular-magnetization

曾嘉裕, Tseng, Chia Yu Unknown Date (has links)
本論文主要在研究多層膜之垂直異向性結構組成及其介面特質,本實驗多層膜選取的材料為鐵磁性的鈷(Co)以及貴重金屬的鉑(Pt),並利用濺鍍(Sputtering)系統來製作(鈷/鉑)多層膜樣品,最初的實驗為尋找(鈷/鉑)多層膜結構組成最佳垂直易性發生之條件,所以分別變化鐵磁層鈷之厚度、一般金屬層鉑之厚度、(鈷/鉑)雙層層數及緩衝buffer layer層鉑之厚度,並利用震動樣品磁度儀(VSM)及超導量子干涉儀(SQUIDE)分別量測垂直及平行磁場方向之磁化強度M對磁場field H的關係,再由M-H圖進行判別其垂直異向性的程度。 在最初的實驗部分可了解如何得到最佳(鈷/鉑)垂直異向性多層膜之結構,並從中可得不同緩衝層鉑之厚度、(鈷/鉑)雙層層數及雙層內鉑之厚度的矯頑場有一趨勢存在,於第二部分的實驗即利用這些矯頑場之趨勢來製作一系列產生巨磁效應之三層膜結構,其中的鐵磁層由(鈷/鉑)垂直異向性多層膜取代,並對此結構做一系列量測,利用震動樣品磁度儀(VSM)量測其磁化強度對磁場的關係、利用LR700系統及物理低溫量測系統(PPMS)量測其異常Hall effect霍爾效應(EHE)現象和電阻對磁場的關係,再將這一系列的量測結果分析其中被一般金屬層鉑所隔開的上下(鈷/鉑)垂直異向性多層膜之間耦合程度。 / The topic of this thesis is about the property of the interface and structure in the multilayers with perpendicular anisotropy. The materials of this multilayers are ferromagnetic cobalt and platinum. We use sputtering system to fabricate cobalt/platinum multilayer with various thicknesses. The initial experiment is to search for the optimum condition that develop cobalt/platinum multilayer with perpendicular anisotropy. Then, the influenceof the buffer layer of platinum is studied. We use Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer to measure the magnetization vs. magnetic field relation by applied magnetic fields in both out of plane and in plane directions to distinguishe the degree of perpendicular anisotropy from the M-H figures. From the initial experiments we can understand how to get the optimum structure of cobalt/platinum perpendicular anisotrpy multilayer. There is a tendency exists in the coercivity depending on different thicknesses of the ferromagnetic layer cobalt, the normal noble platinum, the number of bilayers of cobalt/platinum, and the buffer layer of platinum. In the second part of this experiment we used the difference of coercivities to fabricate a series of trilayers structures that produce giant magnetoresistance effect. The individual ferromagnetic layer was cobalt/platinum perpendicular anisotropy multilayer. The structures was measured by VSM to study magnetization vs. field relation. A LR700 resistance bridge and a physical properties measurement system (PPMS) were used to measure the Anomalous Hall Effect (AHE) and resistant vs. field relation.

Enregistrement thermomagnétique sous pointe AFM: vers les ultrahautes densités d'enregistrement

Algre, Emmanuelle 16 June 2006 (has links) (PDF)
L'objectif de cette thèse était de proposer une nouvelle méthode pour le stockage de masse sur disque dur et d'en démontrer la faisabilité. L'enregistrement thermomagnétique sous pointe utilise l'effet combiné d'un échauffement local produit par transfert thermique en champ proche avec une pointe chaude et d'un champ magnétique macroscopique pour retourner l'aimantation d'un point mémoire nanostructuré.<br />Une première partie du travail a été de déterminer les conditions pour lesquelles l'échauffement local était suffisant (400-450K) pour retourner l'aimantation sous faible champ magnétique. Des simulations numériques ont permis de montrer que les transferts thermiques par l'air et radiatif étaient trop faibles pour produire un tel échauffemment. L'utilisation d'un substrat structuré et isolant est d'autre part nécessaire pour limiter les pertes thermiques par conduction.<br />La conductivité thermique du silicium poreux peut atteindre des conductivités thermiques aussi faibles que 0.14W.m-1.K-1 pour des porosités de 70%. Une couche de poreuse est formé à partir d'un substrat structuré de silicium. Les propriétés magnétiques des multicouches Co/Pt et d'alliage amorphe de TbFeCo déposées sur silicium poreux et substrat de silicium poreux ont été étudiées. En ce qui concerne les multicouches Co/Pt, déposées sur une couche poreuse de 5µm d'épaisseur, elles sont compatibles avec l'enregistrement magnétique à hautes densités.<br />Des pointes AFM chauffantes ont été réalisées à partir de pointes commerciales afin d'être montée sur un microscope AFM. Malgré leur forte consommation électrique et leur temps de réponse lent, elles peuvent être échauffées à haute température. D'autre part, un microscope AFM a été spécialement adapté pour réaliser des tests d'écriture thermomagnétique. Les premiers test ont mis en évidence le retournement assisté thermiquement d'un plot magnétique. Des efforts devront être réalisés pour permettre une procédure d'écriture plus systématique et reproductible.<br />Un montage expérimental permettant de mesurer les échanges thermiques en champ proche entre un pointe et une surface est en cours de développement. Des premiers résultats prometteurs ont mis en évidence la présence de plusieurs régimes d'échange thermique.

Effets de taille finie sur les couplages magnétostatiques et l'anisotropie d'échange dans le domaine de l'enregistrement magnétique

Baltz, Vincent 20 October 2005 (has links) (PDF)
Le sujet de cette thèse est l'étude des effets de taille finie sur les propriétés fondamentales de matériaux utilisés dans les dispositifs associés au stockage magnétique de l'information. Nous proposons l'approche multiniveaux comme alternative possible pour augmenter les densités de stockage des media planaires ou perpendiculaires, continus ou discrets. En fonctionnement, une couche doit être manipulée sans modifier l'état magnétique des autres couches. La première partie de ce mémoire est consacrée à l'étude des effets de taille finie sur les couplages magnétostatiques dans des systèmes composés de deux couches ferromagnétiques à base de cobalt/platine à anisotropie perpendiculaire, séparées par un métal non-magnétique. Pour des états désaimantés, nous avons mis en évidence la corrélation des configurations en domaines des couches, attribuée aux couplages inter-couches. Pour différentes impulsions de champs, la réplication des domaines nous a permis d'observer des états rémanents singuliers permettant de mieux comprendre le phénomène. Pour des réseaux de nanostructures, la réplication due aux couplages intra-nanostructure se manifeste par un décalage en champ du cycle d'hystérésis sur la couche de plus faible champ coercitif. Le seconde partie de ce mémoire traite des effets de taille finie sur les propriétés d'anisotropie d'échange pour des bicouches ferromagnétique/antiferromagnétique typiquement utilisées dans les têtes de lecture d'ordinateurs. Pour des systèmes à anisotropie planaire, nous avons montré que les nanostructures et les antiferromagnétiques minces sont plus sujets à l'activation thermique. Il en résulte une augmentation ou une réduction du champ d'échange pour les nanostructures par rapport aux couches continues en fonction des conditions d'épaisseur d'antiferromagnétique et de température. Ces résultats permettent de lever certaines contradictions apparentes de la littérature. Pour des couches continues à anisotropie perpendiculaire, l'orientation relative des spins du ferromagnétique et de l'antiferromagnétique influence de manière significative les propriétés d'anisotropie d'échange. L'impression des domaines du ferromagnétique dans l'antiferromagnétique, par traitements thermiques permet de générer des cycles d'hystérésis « doubles » et d'ajuster leurs propriétés magnétiques. Des premiers résultats prometteurs concernant les effets de taille finie sur les propriétés des systèmes à anisotropie perpendiculaire ont été obtenus.

Der Einsatz nanostrukturierter Magnetmaterialien als Speicherschichten in Festplatten stellt ein vielversprechendes Konzept zur weiteren Erhöhung der erreichbaren Speicherdichten im Vergleich zu den heute eingesetzten granularen Medien dar. Für die Realisierung dieses Konzeptes ist eine detaillierte Kenntnis der Struktureigenschaften und deren Einfluss auf das magnetische Verhalten der einzusetzenden Schichten erforderlich. Für die vorliegende Arbeit wurden drei verschiedene magnetische Materialien ausgewählt und insbesondere mit elektronenmikroskopischen Methoden in struktureller Hinsicht untersucht. Dazu zählen ferromagnetische (FePt)(100-x)Cu(x) -Schichten, ferromagnetische [Co/Pt]n -Multilagen sowie ferrimagnetische Fe(100-x)Tb(x) -Schichten. Der Schwerpunkt der Untersuchungen lag dabei auf der Korrelation zwischen strukturellen und magnetischen Eigenschaften sowie im Einfluss der Nanostrukturierung auf das magnetische Verhalten der Schichten. In dieser Hinsicht wurden Aspekte der durch die Struktur bedingten magnetischen Anisotropie in Form von magnetokristalliner und Grenzflächenanisotropie betrachtet. Zudem wurde das Kopplungsverhalten zwischen einzelnen Strukturelementen in nanostrukturierten Schichten untersucht. Aufbauend auf die Untersuchung der drei genannten Materialien wurden [Co/Pt]n und Fe(100-x)Tb(x) ausgewählt zum Aufbau eines Systems mit zwei magnetischen Komponenten: Fe(80)Tb(20) / [Co/Pt]10. Die Untersuchungen konzentrierten sich dabei auf die Morphologie der Grenzfläche zwischen den beiden Bestandteilen und deren Einfluss auf den Exchange Bias, der in diesem System vorliegt.

Diffusion Studies On Systems Related to Nickel Based Superalloys

Divya, V D 07 1900 (has links) (PDF)
Superalloys offer high temperature strength, excellent creep, corrosion and oxidation resistances, microstructural stability and good fatigue life at elevated temperatures. The composition of the superalloys has been modified continuously to improve the properties. The addition of Pt improves oxidation resistance without compromising the mechanical properties of the superalloys. To further enhance the performance of the superalloy components, various coatings are applied on them. The-(NiPt)Al intermetallic compound bond coats, which are presently utilized, have certain drawbacks. Diffusion of Al from the bond coat to superalloy during service leads to accumulation of stress near the bond coat. The refractory elements present in superalloy precipitate as topological close packed (TCP) phases in the interdiffusion zone. Consequently, a Pt enriched γ(Ni) + γ’(Ni3Al) phase mixture has been proposed as a possible alternative since TCP phases do not form in the interdiffusion zone. In this thesis, diffusion studies are performed on several binary and ternary systems with the primary purpose of understanding the effect of Pt in Ni based superalloys and also in γ + γ’ phase mixture bond coats. Further, a detailed interdiffusion study is conducted in Mo- and W- based binary and ternary systems to understand the growth of the TCP phases. By performing bulk and multifoil diffusion couple experiments, different diffusion parameters like, inter, intrinsic, tracer, impurity diffusion coefficients and activation energy that are necessary to understand the diffusion mechanism are determined. Additionally using the nanoindentation technique on diffusion couples, variation of mechanical properties such as, hardness and modulus with composition is studied. First, interdiffusion in Ni-Pt, Co-Pt, Co-Ni, Ni-Fe and Co-Fe binary systems is examined. In Ni-Pt and Co-Pt, experimental results show that Pt is the slower diffusing species at all compositions. In both the systems, driving force is found to be the reason for higher values of intrinsic diffusion coefficients observed in the range of 40-60 at. % Pt. Contribution of vacancy wind effect on diffusion parameters is found to be negligible. It is found from the multifoil diffusion couple experiments that Ni is the faster diffusing species in the Co-Ni system. Bulk diffusion couple experiments are conducted in the Co-Ni-Pt and Co-Ni-Fe systems, by coupling binary alloys with the third element. Uphill diffusion is observed for Co and Ni in Pt rich corner of the Co-Ni-Pt system. Main and cross interdiffusion coefficients are calculated at the compositions where two diffusion profiles intersect. In both the systems, the main interdiffusion coefficients are positive over the whole composition range and the cross diffusion coefficients show both positive and negative values at different regions. Hardness measured by performing the nanoindentations on diffusion couples of both the systems, shows the higher values at intermediate compositions. The effect of Pt in and’ phases of Ni-Al system are examined by conducting interdiffusion experiments between Ni(xPt) alloys and (NixPt)40Al alloy of β phase, so that both and’ phases grow in the interdiffusion zone. The interdiffusion coefficients in Ni-Al binary system increases with the Al content in the -phase, and they do not vary significantly with composition in the ’ phase. The average effective interdiffusion coefficients of Ni and Al in the and ’ phases increase with the addition of Pt. Nanoindentation studies on diffusion couples show that the hardness of both and ’ phase increases with the addition of Pt. In the +’ phase mixture bond coats, effect of Pt on interdiffusion of major alloying elements of CMSX4 superalloys are discussed. A phase mixture of and ’ with increasing Pt content is coupled with CMSX4 superalloy. The addition of Pt to the +’ phase mixture increases the diffusion rate of Ni, while the diffusion rate of Al, decreases with the addition of 5% Pt, and increases with further addition of Pt. No significant change in the diffusion rates of Co or Cr is observed. The growth kinetics and diffusion in systems (both binary and ternary) with TCP phases are examined. Interdiffusion studies performed in Co-Mo system show significant volume change because of the growth of the phase. Intrinsic diffusion coefficient of Mo is found to be higher than that of Co. Diffusion studies conducted in Ni-Mo system show reasonably low activation energy in the phase, indicating the grain boundary controlled diffusion process. The Co-Ni-Mo and Co-Ni-W ternary phase diagrams are revisited and the phase boundary composition of the TCP phases are found to be different from those reported earlier. Following, the average effective interdiffusion coefficients are calculated and compared with the data calculated in the binary systems to examine the role of the third element. It is noticed that the average effective interdiffusion coefficients in the Co(Ni,Mo) and Co(Ni,W) solid solution increases with the addition of Ni. On the other hand, these diffusion coefficients decrease with the addition of Ni in thephase in both the systems. The role of the driving force for diffusion and possible change in defect concentrations on different sublattices are discussed.
