Laterally patterned magnetic structures are the basic elements of spintronic devices. With ongoing miniaturization the influence of neighboring cells becomes more and more important. We study the influence of the period of laterally striped magnetic multilayers on the magnetic properties and the magnetic domain formation.
Fe/Cr/Fe have been grown epitaxially on GaAs (100) single crystals by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE). Cr interlayers that induce antiferromagnetic coupling between adjacent Fe layers were chosen to reduce the magnetic dipole moment and to induce a magnetic superstructure easily observable in polarized neutron reflectometry. The lateral structuring is performed by laser interference lithography or UV- nanoimprint lithography and Reactive Ion Etching. Structural characterization is carried out by Scanning Microscopy and X-Ray scattering under grazing incidence. The magnetic order and domain formation as a function of the applied magnetic field are determined by MOKE and polarized neutron reflectometry and off-specular scattering.
