Influence of thermal annealing on the morphology and magnetic domain structure of Co thin films

Centimeter scale cobalt films with various thicknesses (8 nm ∼ 100 nm) were deposited by electron beam evaporation (EBE) and then annealed in a gas mixture of Ar and H _2 at temperatures ranging from 200 °C to 500 °C. Advanced characterization techniques (e.g., XRD, SEM, AFM and MFM) were employed t...
