Angular Remanence and Anisotropy Orientation Distribution in Nickel Films on LiNbO3
Nickel thin films (100 nm) deposited on 128∘Y -cut: LiNbO 3 exhibits a well-defined, uniaxial, magnetic anisotropy after annealing at 325 °C. Simulating the magnetization of these films using a temperature-dependent Stoner–Wohlfarth (SW) model indicates that the films have a very narrow angular distribution of anisotropy axis orientations. Here, we report a direct measurement of the angular distribution of […]
