Time and layer resolved magnetic domain imaging of FeNi/Cu/Co trilayers using X-ray photoelectron emission microscopy
Journal of Applied Physics 95, (11),pp 6533-6536 (2004)
We have performed magnetic domain imaging with spatial, temporal, and layer
resolution using x-ray photoelectron emission microscopy. The element
selectivity of x-ray magnetic circular dichroism allows the magnetization
dynamics of the different magnetic layers in spin-valve-like FeNi/Cu/Co
trilayers to be studied separately, using the time structure of synchrotron
radiation. The unique possibilities of this technique have been used to study
the influence of the intrinsic magnetic properties of the different layers on
the magnetization dynamics and the interlayer magnetic coupling.
