摘要
In-plane uniaxial magnetic anisotropy (UMA) has been studied on a series of amorphous Co 56Fe 24B20 (CoFeB) films deposited on GaAs(001) substrates. With the increasing of the CoFeB thickness from 3.5 to 20.0 nm, it was found that a large uniaxial anisotropy field (Hk) of about 270 Oe decreases monotonically to a relatively small value of about 100 Oe. The thickness dependence of Hk coincides with the common interface-induced UMA model. The magnetization reversal processes of this series of CoFeB films were also investigated. The evolution of the thickness-dependent magnetization reversal mechanisms was briefly discussed in terms of the Stoner-Wohlfarth model, the pinning of domain wall model, and the modified Kondorsky model.
