Magnetic Behavior of Co/Pt and TbCo Nanocaps Assembly for Bit Pattern Media

Large area patterning of self-assembled alumina nanobumps, with hexagonally close-packed order, has been used to create ordered array of bit pattern magnetic media. We have studied the magnetic properties of perpendicular magnetic TbCo alloy and Co/Pt multilayers deposited on self assembled alumina nanobumps. Measurement of reversal field as a function of field intensity, as well as magnetic force microscopy images confirm the weakness of exchange coupling between bits in the case of Co/Pt multilayer while stronger coupling is observed in the case of TbCo alloys.

The influence of LiF layer abd ZnO nanoparticels addings on the performances of flexible photovoltaic cells based on polymer blends

International audienceFlexible organic solar cells were successfully prepared using spin-coating technique on PET substrates covered with a thick layer of ITO. The goal of this study is to identify the effects of the LiF layer and ZnO nanoparticles mixing in PEDOT:PSS solution and to compare the photovoltaic properties of these „customized” cells PET/ITO/PEDOT:PSS + ZnO nanoparticles/P3HT:PCBM(1:1)/Al, PET/ITO/PEDOT:PSS + ZnO nanoparticles/P3HT:PCBM(1:1)/LiF/Al, with ones of the “conventional” structures, PET/ITO/PEDOT:PSS/P3HT:PCBM(1:1)/Al. The thickness of the LiF layer, deposited by thermal vacuum evaporation, was two nanometers. Composite samples were prepared by adding ZnO nanoparticles into PEDOT:PSS solution, followed by ultrasonication. I-V characteristics were measured in dark and under A.M.1.5 conditions for all samples immediately and after one month from the preparation date. The action spectra measurements revealed that the structures which have a nanometric LiF layer are more stable than those without. Photoelectrical measurements indicate that the ZnO nanoparticles have a positive influence on the conversion efficiency and also to reduce the serial resistance of the structure

Reversal mechanism, switching field distribution, and dipolar frustrations in Co/Pt bit pattern media based on auto-assembled anodic alumina hexagonal nanobump arrays

We fabricated a perpendicularly magnetized bit pattern media using a hexagonally close-packed auto-assembled anodic alumina template with 100 nm and 50 nm periods by depositing a Co/Pt multilayer to form an ordered array of ferromagnetic nanodots, so-called nanobumps. We used Hall resistance measurements and magnetic force microscopy to characterize the dot-by-dot magnetization reversal mechanism under applied field. The role of interdot exchange coupling and dipolar coupling are investigated. Then we focus on separating the various origins of switching field distribution (SFD) in this system, namely dipolar interactions, intrinsic anisotropy distribution, and template packing faults. Finally we discuss the influence of triangular dipolar frustrations on the energy stability of demagnetized and half-switched states based on an Ising model, including local exchange coupling. The impact of SFD and lattice defects lines between misoriented ordered domains on the magnetic configurations is studied in detail
