Title

Geometrical Control Of The Magnetization Direction In High Aspect-Ratio Pdni Ferromagnetic Nanoelectrodes

Abstract

We present a study of electron-beam evaporated Pd0.4 Ni0.6 alloy thin films by means of ferromagnetic resonance measurements on extended films of varying thickness and anisotropic magnetoresistance measurements of lithographically patterned high aspect-ratio ferromagnetic electrodes, respectively. The results reveal that the direction of the magnetization strongly depends on the electrode lateral dimensions, transitioning from in-plane magnetization for extended films to out-of-the-plane magnetization for electrode widths below 2-3 microns, reaching ∼58° off plane for 100 nm-wide nanoelectrodes. © 2008 The American Physical Society.
