Abstracts

EN

Magnetic force microscopy measurements combined with computer simulations were applied to investigate the strengths of magnetic field over the [NiFe/Au/Co/Au]_N multilayers with in-plane and out-of-plane anisotropy observed for NiFe and Co layers, respectively. All measurements were performed in air atmosphere at room temperature. Dimensions and density of magnetic domains were estimated. The distribution of magnetization directions was deduced from comparison of magnetic force microscopy with the simulation results. Some sort of modulation in stray magnetic field was observed, but till now it is of unknown origin.
