ABSTRACTIn-situ recording of ultra-thin film growth by Low Energy Electron Microscopy (LEEM) results in accurate determinations of monolayer metal deposition rates for difficult to calibrate deposition geometries. Deposition rates and growth features were determined for Cu and Co on W (110) allowing for thickness control at the submonolayer level. Also, the transparencies of non-Magnetic overlayers of Pd (111) and Cu (111) to very low energy spin polarized electrons were compared and qualitatively explained by band structure considerations. Cu (111) is much more transparent than Pd (111) so that magnetic domain structures can be observed through at least 4 nmof Cu (111). This suggests the use of Cu (111) and other metals of suitable band structure as protective layers for surface magnetic studies.

AbstractThe formation of magnetic domains in thin epitaxial Co/Au(111) films is investigated by spin-polarized scanning electron microscopy. Three-monolayer films are shown to decay into out-of-plane domains of micrometer size. The transition from out-of-plane to in-plane magnetization at a crossover thickness of 4.5 layers is followed by imaging the domains, and the transition is shown to occur as a continuous rotation of the magnetization. The domain size in field-free-grown perpendicular films depends linearly on film thickness. From high-resolution line scans across magnetization reversals we determine the resolution in magnetic imaging to be better than 40 nm.

AbstractTo successfully incorporate the highly spin-polarized material La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) into spin-based electronic devices it is essential to be able to control and tune the magnetic domain structure. In this work, we geometrically confine epitaxial thin films of LSMO into hexagons to examine the effect of magnetostatic and magnetic anisotropy energies on the domain formation. We find through careful choice of hexagon aspect ratio, crystalline direction, and substrate orientation, we can tune the magnetic domain formation to be single, two, six (flux closure), or other domain configurations.
