Determination of closure domain penetration in electrodeposited microtubes by combined magnetic force microscopy and giant magneto-impedance techniques

Abstract

The domain structure of electrodeposited Co90P10 microtubes exhibiting radial magnetic anisotropy and giant magneto-impedance effect has been characterized by combined magnetic force microscopy imaging and impedance measurements. It has been shown that the size of the closure domains increases with the CoP layer thickness. Furthermore, the depth of the closure domains has been quantitatively determined from the high frequency behavior. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
