Doctoral Dissertations
This study was conducted with the aim of improving permanent magnetic properties of existing materials and exploring non-conventional ferromagnetic properties of gold-based nanoclusters. The first chapter of this dissertation gives an introduction to relevant fundamental concepts and proceeding chapters present findings of three projects. In the first project, shape anisotropy induced permanent magnetism in oriented magnetic thin films was investigated. Roll-to-roll nanoimprinting, a high-throughput fabrication method was utilized to fabricate densely packed Fe nanostripe-based magnetic thin films that exhibit large in-plane uniaxial anisotropy and nearly square hysteresis loops at room temperature. (BH)max exceeds 3 MGOe for samples of intermediate …
