Characterization Of Magnetic Nanostructured Materials By First Order Reversal Curve Method, Denny R. Lenormand

University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations

The Interactions and magnetization reversal of Ni nanowire arrays and synthetic anit-ferromagnetic coupled thin film trilayers have been investigated through first order reversal curve (FORC) method. By using a quantitative analysis of the local interaction field profile distributions obtained from FORC, it has proven to be a powerful characterization tool that can reveal subtle features of magnetic interactions.
