FORC and Micromagnetism Approach to the Domain Structure of Cobalt Antidot Arrays

We study the influence of the porosity on the domain structure of cobalt antidots thin films with controlled and circular defects of 20, 40 and 60 nm of diameter. Micromagnetic simulations, combined with First-order reversal curves analysis of classical magnetometry measurements, have been used to t...

Description
Summary:We study the influence of the porosity on the domain structure of cobalt antidots thin films with controlled and circular defects of 20, 40 and 60 nm of diameter. Micromagnetic simulations, combined with First-order reversal curves analysis of classical magnetometry measurements, have been used to track the evolution of the magnetic domain configurations. The found coercivity enhancement with the increase of the pore diameter is correlated to the domain reversibility. Moreover, we found that when the pores diameter increases the domain-domain interactions become dominant.
