    Notes: The complex magneto-optical Kerr rotation spectra of Fe/Cu and FeCo/Cu bilayers and compositionally modulated films (CMF) were studied experimentally and theoretically. In the bilayers, an enhancement of Kerr ellipticity εk by a factor of 5 was observed at long wavelength side, while the Kerr rotation θk can only be enhanced by a factor of 2 around the plasma edge of Cu. In the CMFs, εk was enhanced by 60% but no θk enhancement was observed. Theoretical analyses showed that both the magnitude of effective ε˜xye and the magnitude and signs of effective Ae and Be are important for magneto-optical enhancement.

    Notes: Bilayers Nd-Fe/Cu and Nd-Fe/Al made by vacuum evaporation were studied. The magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) and reflectivity spectra were measured. For Nd-Fe/Cu with low Nd content and small thickness of Nd-Fe layer there is a peak in the MOKE spectrum and a broad MOKE enhancement. The position is located near the plasma edge of Cu. When the content of Nd exceeds 37 at. %, there is no Kerr peak in the MOKE spectrum of Nd-Fe/Cu. When the thickness of the magnetic layer is larger but still less than the light penetration depth, the position of the peak moves towards the long-wavelength side. For Nd-Fe/Al there is a broad enhancement in the short-wavelength region, but no Kerr peak occurs no matter how the magnetic layer changes. The results presented show that the necessary conditions for MOKE enhancement in bilayers are suitable values of n and k of the reflector, whether the reflector has a plasma edge or not, and the enhancement also depends on the properties of the magnetic layer.

    Notes: Dislocation distribution near the crack tip of I and II modes in bulk aluminum single crystal has been decorated by using the etching pit technique and then was observed by scanning electron microscopy. It has been shown that two kinds of distribution of dislocations, i.e., shielding and antishielding dislocations are found to exist near the crack tip. In addition to these, the dislocation-free zone is still observed to be between the crack tip and the plastic zone. According to Rice and Thomson [Philos. Mag. 29, 73 (1974)], the dislocation mode of the elastic-plastic crack is extended to include the antishielding dislocations as part of a crack-tip equilibrium configuration, which may be described as follows: (μb/2π) (∫−e−a+∫−c−s +∫sc+∫ae)[ f(x')/(x−x')]dx'+σa=0, when ||x||〈C, or σf, when c〈||x||〈s and e〈||x||〈a. The factors affecting the dislocation distribution are discussed in detail.

    Notes: Bilayers Fe/Au-Cu and Fe/Ag-Au made by vacuum evaporation were studied. The magneto-optical polar Kerr rotation and reflectivity spectra were measured in the region from 400 to 700 nm. In the magneto-optical Kerr rotation spectra of bilayers Fe/Au-Cu and Fe/Ag-Au with the thickness of Fe layer less than the light penetration depth, there is a broad enhancement of the magneto-optical polar Kerr rotation with a Kerr peak near the plasma edge in the reflectivity spectra of Au-Cu and Ag-Au alloys. The peak shifts toward the long wavelength side with increasing Cu and Au content in Au-Cu and Ag-Au alloys, respectively. Our results show that the composition of the reflector in our bilayer structures can shift the wavelength range of the magneto-optical Kerr rotation enhancement. Interpretation and discussions are given.

    Notes: Real time resolved scanning Kerr microscopy has been used to study the switching dynamics of 50 μm diameter epitaxial Fe(100) disks. The measurements were performed using a sinusoidal sweeping field with a sweep rate of dH/dt=10 kOe/s. By performing repetitive one-shot measurements, we have mapped the statistical fluctuations and the probability distribution of characteristic switching parameters as the switching instant t0, and the switching speed, V. We observe a substantial difference in the parameters estimated from the average of several measurements compared to the parameters extracted from the probability distributions. This illustrates the potential risks of using averaging techniques in dynamic measurements, in addition to the loss of the statistical information. The disks were found to display an inhomogeneous switching, which is believed to be caused by defect damped motion of the domain walls and a inhomogeneous distribution of defects. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The dynamic hysteresis scaling behavior in epitaxial Fe/GaAs(001) and Fe/InAs(001) thin films (thickness range 7.3–150 Å) has been investigated as a function of Fe film thickness in the field sweep rate range 0.005–1000 kOe/s using the magneto-optic Kerr effect. The hysteresis loop area A follows the scaling relation A∝(dH/dt)α. We find two distinct dynamic regimes: the low dynamic regime in the sweep rate range 0.005–250 kOe/s, and the high dynamic regime beyond 250 kOe/s. There is a marked increase in α between the low and high dynamic regimes which we attribute to the dominant reversal mechanism changing from domain wall motion to nucleation. In the low dynamic regime α is a decreasing function of Fe film thickness, and this behavior is attributed to the effect of interface-induced pinning. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The domain structures of epitaxial Fe (20 nm)/GaAs(100) circular dot arrays (diameters from 50 to 1 μm) were studied with magnetic force microscopy. A transition from a single domain to a multidomain remanent state was observed upon reducing the dot diameter beneath 10 μm in dot arrays with the separation twice the dot diameter. When the separation is reduced to half the dot diameter, the single domain states were found to "collapse" into stripe-like multidomain states due to local dipole coupling between dots. Micromagnetic simulations further suggest that for ultrathin Fe dots of less than about 2 nm thickness the diameter does not have a significant influence on the domain structures due to a dramatic reduction of the dipole energy. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The partial spin-dependent densities of states (DOS) of both the iron and the boron in Fe–B amorphous magnetic alloys have been determined from spin-resolved photoemission using a synchrotron radiation source. The spin-integrated energy distribution curves (EDCs), polarization spectra and the spin-resolved EDCs show distinct differences between 15 and 40 eV photon energies due to strikingly different photon energy dependencies of the cross sections of Fe-d and B-p states. The B-p states were found to hybridize with Fe-d states and occupy a binding energy range of about 1–5.5 eV with a negative polarization; i.e., the B moment is "antiferromagetically" coupled with that of the Fe-d moment. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The evolution of the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy of ultrathin epitaxial Fe films grown on InAs(100)-4×2 and GaAs(100)-4×2 has been studied in situ by means of the magneto-optical Kerr effect. In Fe/InAs(100)-4×2, the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy easy axis direction along [011] was found to be rotated 90° compared with that of Fe/GaAs(100)-4×2 along [01¯1]. Real-time reflection high energy electron diffraction measurements of Fe/InAs(100)-4×2 show that the lattice constant of the epitaxial Fe films relaxes remarkedly faster along the [01¯1] direction than along the [011] direction in the same thickness range where the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy occurs. These results suggest that the symmetry-breaking atomic scale structure of the reconstructed semiconductor surface gives rise to the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy in a ferromagnetic metal/semiconductor heterostructure via surface magneto-elastic interactions. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
