  • The director profiles of the Bloch walls are directly visualized using fluorescence confocal polarizing microscopy. Both pure twist Bloch walls and diffuse Bloch walls are analyzed. Polar anchoring energy was measured from optical simulation of the transmitted light interference pattern or the fluorescence intensity profile of a pure twist wall..

  • Controlling magnetic domains in soft underlayer (SUL) of perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) is an important issue for the application of PMR in HDD. We studied the magnetic domain structures in SUL using the finite element based micromagnetic simulation (FEMM) for the SUL models with different thicknesses. The purpose is to simulate the magnetic domain wall noise when the SUL thickness and saturation magnetization are changed. The simulation results show that a 15 nm SUL forms simpler Neel wall domain wall pattern and 40 nm SUL forms complex Bloch wall. To visualize the effect of these domain walls stray field at a read sensor position, the magnetic stray field of the domain walls at air bearing surface (ABS) which is 50 nm above the SUL was simulated and the results imply that Bloch walls have stronger stray field with more complicated field patterns than Neel walls and this becomes a significant noise source. Therefore, the thickness of the SUL should be controlled to avoid the formation of Bloch walls.

  • The magnetic domain walls at the edges of a large patterned and exchanged-biased NiO(10-60 nm)/NiFe(10 nm) bilayers and their motions with applied field were investigated by magnetic force microscopy. Three kinds of domain walls, namely, head-to-head zig-zag and tail-to-tail zig-zag Bloch walls and straight Neel walls were found at specific edges of the unidirectional biased NiO(30 nm)/NiFe(10 nm) bilayer having the exchange biasing field (H$\sub$ex/) of 21 Oe. No walls were observed for the strong exchange-biased bilayer (60 nm NiO, H$\sub$ex/ = 75 Oe), while the amplitude of the zig-zag domain increased with decreasing exchange biasing. This may be explained by mutual restraint between H$\sub$ex/ and the demagnetization field of edge. We similarly investigated the magnetization reversal process, the subsequent motion of the walls and identified the pinning and nucleation sites during reversal.

  • Effect of a ferromagnetic layer thickness on a narrow domain wall width is investigated. It is found that the narrow domain wall is formed in ferromagnetic/nonmagnetic/ferromagnetic multi layer structure with a loc at interlayer exchange coupling, and that the width of the narrow domain wall is affected by the ferromagnetic layer thickness. We performed micromagnetics simulations for the $Fe_1/Cr/Fe_2$ system with the local interlayer exchange coupling, with fixed thickness (20-nm) of $Fe_2$ layer and various $Fe_1$ layer thickness (1, 2, 4, and 6 nm). Consequently, we confirmed that the thinner the $Fe_1$ layer thickness, the thinner the width of the domain wall is formed, because of the surface energy nature of the interlayer exchange coupling.

The Optimum mixing ratio n=4.4 the optimum density 4.8gr/cm$^{3}$ and the optimum second sintering temperature 1260.deg. C was found. The theoretical bloch wall, dimension of domain and energy per unit volume of BaFe$_{12}$O$_{19}$ were compared with pure Fe. Also, the saturation magnetization and maximum energy product were computed.d.d.
