Nanofabrication, characterisation and modelling of soft-in-hard FeCo–FePt magnetic nanocomposites

Résumé

Advanced nanofabrication exploiting e-beam lithography has been used to prepare nanocomposites consisting of periodic arrays of soft magnetic FeCo-based nano-inclusions of variable dimensions, embedded in a hard magnetic FePt matrix. Nanocomposites with non-magnetic (Pt) inclusions and single phase hard magnetic FePt microstructures were prepared as reference samples. The formation of Kirkendall voids in the soft-in-hard nanocomposites, because of annealing-induced diffusion, has been identified through high resolution imaging and chemical analysis. Replication of the μm-scaled nanocomposite and hard magnetic units over mm-scaled surfaces allowed global magnetic characterisation of magnetisation reversal using standard magnetometry. Magnetic force microscopy imaging was used for spatially resolved magnetic characterisation in different remanent magnetic states. Both of these experimental techniques were used to study the influence of the size, volume content and nature of the nano-inclusions on magnetisation reversal. The well-defined geometry and nano-scaled size of the inclusions render these nanocomposites as model systems for micromagnetic simulations and very good agreement was achieved between measured and simulated magnetisation reversal curves. This accordance motivates future in-silico optimisation of such soft-in-hard nanocomposites, which may serve as model systems to guide the design of new high performance bulk magnets which are less dependent on critical elements.
