Magnetic Properties of NiFe and FeCuNbSiB Thin Films: Effect of Thickness on Static Permeability

Article Preview

Abstract:

The magnetic static permeability of sputtered FeCuNbSiB and electrodeposited NiFe patterns with thicknesses varying from 0.1 to 8 μm has been studied. The permeability varies proportionally with the pattern size/thickness ratio, like for uniformly magnetized patterns. Different hypothesis on this variation have been investigated and a critical analysis favors a demagnetizing effect. The comparison between experimental results and the theoretical value of the demagnetizing factor of squares plates confirms MOKE imaging, i.e. large magnetic domains but a non-uniform magnetization in the samples.
