Atomic force nanolithography provides a precise method for sculpting magnetic thin films, enabling controlled engineering of magnetic anisotropy in soft ferromagnets at the microscale. We demonstrate that nanoscale groove arrays patterned…
Magnetic properties of CoMnGe thin films of different thicknesses (13, 34, 55, 83, 100 and 200 nm), grown by RF sputtering at 400{\deg}C on single crystal sapphire substrates, were studied using vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) and…
The anomalous Nernst effect in nanostructured magnetic materials is a key phenomenon to optimally control and employ the internal energy dissipated in electronic devices, being dependent on for instance the magnetic anisotropy of the active…
Within a phenomenological approach the density of induced uniaxial anisotropy in nanostructures K(r) is treated as a physical field additional to the magnetization M(r). The equilibrium distributions of K(r) are formed under the influence…
We investigate the influence of periodic surface roughness in thin ferromagnetic films on shape anisotropy and magnetization behavior inside the ferromagnet. Starting from the full micromagnetic energy and using methods of homogenization…
Alnico magnets have gained renewed interest in the search for rare-earth free permanent magnets due to their high thermal stability and magnetisation. However, the limited coercivity of these shape-anisotropy-based alloys constrains their…
Using a phase-field model, we study the surface diffusion-controlled grooving of a moving grain boundary under the influence of an external magnetic field in thin films of a nonmagnetic material. The driving force for the grain boundary…
We investigate the synthesis of kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) polycrystalline thin films using cosputtering from binary sulfide targets followed by annealing in sulfur vapor at 500 {\deg}C to 650 {\deg}C. The films are the kesterite CZTS phase…
We report measurements of the in-plane magnetoelastic coupling in ultra-thin Ta|CoFeB|MgO layers as a function of uniaxial strain, conducted using a four-point bending apparatus. For annealed samples, we observe a strong dependence on the…
Thin magnetic multilayered films containing FePt have attracted a lot of attention recently due to their possible usage in ultra-high density magnetic storage. Although structure defects play a dramatic role in the magnetization process and…
Impact of rapid thermal processing (RTP) on microstructure and magnetic properties of Gd-Fe thin films have been investigated with a special emphasis to magnetic microstructure. 100 nm thick amorphous Gd-Fe film shows elongated stripe…
Here, we report wafer scale fabrication of densely packed Fe nanostripe-based magnetic thin films on a flexible substrate and their magnetic anisotropy properties. We find that Fe nanostripes exhibit large in-plane uniaxial anisotropy and…
The equilibrium phase space of magnetic textures in thin-films of cubic chiral ferromagnets, including skyrmions, is explored as a function of in-plane magnetic field strength, film thickness and uniaxial anisotropy. The interplay between…
We demonstrate how shape-induced strain can be used to control antiferromagnetic order in NiO/Pt thin films. For rectangular elements patterned along the easy and hard magnetocrystalline anisotropy axes of our film, we observe different…
We have analysed the influence of the microstructural features, such as intergranular grain boundary (GB) phases and misalignment of the hard magnetic grains, on the optimization of magnetization reversal processes in order to improve the…
We derive four reduced two-dimensional models that describe, at different spatial scales, the micromagnetics of ultrathin ferromagnetic materials of finite spatial extent featuring perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and interfacial…
The profile of suspended silicon nitride thin films patterned with one-dimensional subwavelength grating structures is investigated using Atomic Force Microscopy. We first show that the results of the profilometry can be used as input to…
The formation of pyramid-like structures in thin-film growth on substrates with a quadratic symmetry, e.g., {001} surfaces, is shown to exhibit anisotropic scaling as there exist two length scales with different time dependences. Analytical…
We develop a stochastic-dynamic framework to infer latent grain size distribution from magnetic hysteresis data in M-type hexaferrite materials, offering an alternative to imaging-based characterization. A stochastic nucleation-growth…
Nanocrystalline metals, i.e. metals with grain sizes from 5 to 50 nm, display technologically interesting properties, such as dramatically increased hardness, increasing with decreasing grain size. Due to the small grain size, direct…
