摘要
The competition between shape and perpendicular magnetic anisotropies in magnetic thin films gives rise to unusual magnetic behaviors. In ferromagnetic thin films, the presence of an out-of-plane component of the magnetic anisotropy may induce a transition from planar to stripe-like magnetic domains above a critical thickness, tc. In this article, we present a detailed study of the magnetization switching mechanism in FePt thin films, where this phenomenon is observed. Using micromagnetic simulations and experiments, we found that below tc the reversal mechanism is well described by the two-phase model while above this thickness the magnetization within each stripe reverses by coherent rotation. We also analyzed the out-of-plane component of the magnetic anisotropy and its temperature dependence, probing that substrate-induced strains are responsible for the abnormal coercive field behavior observed for FePt films with t > t(c).
