Magnetic Microscopy

Wu, Chien-Wen 02 September 2008 (has links)
In giant magnetoresistance (GMR) or tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) materials, the transport properties rely on the related spin configurations, i.e., the parallel spin configuration in both magnetic layers is responsible for the lower resistivity state while the antiparallel spin configuration between them exhibit the higher resistivity state. However, the magnetic materials in realistic do not align completely in one direction; they exhibit magnetic domains to reduce the dipolar interaction instead. It is thus crucial to investigate in detailed about how the magnetic domain evolution influences the magnetoresistance in GMR or TMR materials. So, Photoemission Electron Microscopy (PEEM) and Kerr microscope are very good tools for us to study the magnetic domain in local area. The in-situ preparation Mn/Ag wedge/Fe(100) ultrathin films are measured by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), low energy electron diffraction (LEED), medium energy electron diffraction (MEED), and photoemission electron microscope (PEEM) in an ultrahigh vacuum chamber. The preparation Ti/Fe/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) thin films are performed in an ultrahigh vacuum chamber and then are measured by Kerr Microscopy in air. By observing the evolution of magnetic domain, we can know more the detailed information on magnetism microscopically and the correlation between the magnetic properties and electric transport properties.
