The observation of magnetic domains by magneto-optical microscopy, based on the Kerr
and the Faraday effect, is one of the most prominent techniques for the visualization of …

We report the creation and real-space observation of magnetic structures with well-defined
topological properties and a lateral size as low as about 150 nm. They are generated in a …

We study both experimentally and theoretically the driven motion of domain walls in
extended amorphous magnetic films patterned with a periodic array of asymmetric holes. We …

The behavior of minor hysteresis loops in perpendicular anisotropy [Co/Pt] and [Co/Pd]
multilayers has been investigated. Upon applying a succession of identical magnetic field …

Abstract Thin films of Co/Ru (0001) are known to exhibit an unusual spin reorientation
transition (SRT) coupled to the completion of Co atomic layers for Co thicknesses under four …

We report microscopic mechanisms for an unusual magnetization reversal behavior in Co/Pt
multilayers where some of the first-order reversal curves protrude outside of the major loop …

We experimentally study the structure and dynamics of magnetic domains in synthetic
antiferromagnets based on Co/Ru/Co films. Dramatic effects arise from the interaction …

We studied how the application of an in-plane field affects the asymmetries of the domain
nucleation activity and domain wall velocity revealed previously in ultrathin Co films with …

Antiferromagnetically coupled (Co∕ Pt)∕ Ru multilayers with perpendicular anisotropy
have been shown to exhibit both vertically and laterally correlated magnetization reversal …

Looking at the importance of exchange bias (EB) studies in novel magnetic systems,
magnetic nanocaps consisting of antiferromagnetic (AF)/ferromagnetic (FM) layers were …
