Microscopic reversal magnetization mechanisms in CoCrPt thin films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy: Fractal structure versus labyrinth stripe domains

The magnetization reversal of CoCrPt thin films has been examined as a function of thickness using magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) microscopy and first-order reversal curves (FORC) techniques. MOKE images show differentiated magnetization reversal regimes for different film thicknesses: while the...
