    Notes: This work considers the use of geometric alterations to the edges of a strip of thin magnetoresistive material used to make a magnetometer device. The geometric features in the form of narrow fins are intended to improve the performance of the device by pinning the magnetization at the strip edges at an angle corresponding to the high sensitivity region of the magnetoresistance curve, thus including this region in the contribution to total resistance change. Both theoretical calculations using a micromagnetic model and experimental work on a prototype device are described. Results show that the device behaves closely to the modeling predictions, exhibiting a large sensitivity of 17 μV/V/μT, 70% greater than a more conventional device, with the additional capability of a trimmable orthogonal field rejection. Differences between the predicted and measured devices are described in terms of the shortcomings of the model and to domain activity in the device.

    Notes: Thin film Permalloy strips are used extensively for magnetoresistive sensors both in magnetometry and magnetic recording. A determination of magnetization distributions is vital to allow optimization of sensor performance. Results from a previously described scanning laser microscope (SLM) unambiguously determine magnetization distributions to submicron resolution. Operating the SLM in a mode sensitive to magnetization angles about the long axis of the strip shows typical closure domains. If the mode is sensitive to fluctuations about the strip short axis then light and dark bands are observed. These results indicate that the magnetization is not parallel with the strip edges within the domains as normally considered for closure domains. The SLM images are compared with results from a previously described numerical micromagnetic model. Results from the model compare well with those from the SLM, confirming the ability of the model to reliably predict domain activity in Permalloy strips. Results are shown for Permalloy strips of approximately 15 μm×50 μm and 250 A(ring) thick in the presence of dc and ac magnetic fields.

    Notes: This work describes a detailed investigation into the magnetic and structural properties of permalloy-tantalum multilayered thin films produced by vacuum evaporation. Their microstructure was investigated using high-resolution TEM and the magnetic properties were measured with vibrating-sample and vibrating-reed magnetometers. The results show a reduction in coercivity for the multilayer films which is independent of the number of layers but depends strongly on the magnetic layer thickness. The tantalum layer is shown to be continuous and microcrystalline down to 25-A(ring) thickness, but the interface between the layers is irregular and may give rise to additional magnetostatic coupling as the tantalum layer thickness is reduced.

    Notes: This work considers the role of magnetic dipole coupling in multilayers typically comprising a ferromagnetic material separated by a nonmagnetic metal spacer, e.g., NiFe/Ta. It has been suggested previously that dipolar fields may play an important role in the coupling of magnetic layers through a nonmagnetic spacer, in particular where surface roughness at the interface is significant. This work considers a first-order calculation of the dipole coupling energy and magnetic field between two adjacent layers. It is shown that dipole coupling energies originating from surface corrugations can behave in the same manner as a coercive field in terms of dependence on nonmagnetic spacer thickness and the degree of roughness. Interestingly, calculations also show that both ferromagnetic- and antiferromagnetic-like coupling can be explained in terms of this model. The role of the spacer thickness, magnetic layer thickness, and the form of the roughness is discussed.

    Notes: Double layer thin films of permalloy (layer thickness 200–1300 A(ring)) with tantalum (50 A(ring)) as a nonmagnetic spacer have been prepared by e-beam evaporation. The effect of deposition parameters, especially the substrate temperature on the magnetic properties of these films has been examined. The coercivity(Hc) of the double layer films was found to be very sensitive to the substrate temperature in the permalloy layer thickness range of 200–600 A(ring). The coercivity of the films deposited at 40 °C is lower than at 300 °C and is almost independent of the Permalloy layer thickness. The XRD patterns and STM images of these two films exhibit large differences in permalloy grain size and grain orientation. However, the Hc of the single layer films deposited under the same conditions as the double layer films shows no significant change in this thickness region. The results indicate that the change of interface condition is primarily responsible for the Hc variation in the coupled films deposited at different substrate temperatures and strongly suggest that interface roughness plays a dominant role in the coupling between the permalloy layers.

    Notes: Summary A justification is offered for using micro-computers and specially-designed programs with severely visually impaired pre-school children. It is argued that this technology optimizes the visual environment for the child and provides immediate feedback about the correctness of his responses to the stimuli displayed on the screen. Some of the problems encountered in such use are described, with examples taken from sessions in which teachers are working with children as young as 2 years of age, using teaching/learning sequences designed to promote and exercise visual perception skills. Among the issues addressed are the nature of the language interactions between child and adult, the effects of altering the complexity of the tasks, and the possible value of formal task analysis as a means of enabling the teacher to pinpoint critical stages in the learning process.

    Notes: The transfer function of the imaging process in magnetic force microscopy is calculated theoretically using a reciprocal force based approach. The reciprocal force is that exerted on the sample by the tip, and according to Newton's third law, is simply equal but opposite to the force exerted on the tip by the sample. The method allows the role of the tip in the imaging process to be represented in a particularly simple fashion, and the system transfer function is shown to depend on the Fourier transform of the field distribution produced by the microscope tip at the surface of that tip, an exponential spacing loss term reflecting the separation of the tip and the sample and finally a loss term dependent on the sample thickness. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: An automated vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) has been constructed in order to facilitate measurements of the magnetization of conducting samples of different fields and temperatures over a period of time. The principal features of the VSM are large amplitude oscillations, low-frequency, stable horizontal sinusoidal motion, a 12-coil detection system to allow compensation for image effects, and a state-of-the-art automated detection system.

    Notes: A theoretical treatment for contrast formation in the magnetic force microscope is given which relies on calculation of the force acting on the sample, rather than the more usual method which calculates the force acting on the microscope tip. The equivalence of this reciprocal force method is demonstrated by calculating the theoretical image for longitudinal step and arctangent magnetization transitions in thin-film recording media. The reciprocal force approach leads naturally to unambiguous definitions for the resolution of the magnetic force microscope and it is shown that conventional resolution measures, such as impulse response, line-spread function and step response, used in many other forms of microscopy, may be readily applied to the magnetic force microscope. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
