Abstract

Using the interference of laser beams, we have fabricated the periodic arrays of submicron wires in Fe/C and Fe/Cr thin-film alloys. The array formation is found to arise from iron agglomeration in interference maxima. The dramatic decay of the in-plane magnetic anisotropy was observed in the fabricated arrays with decrease in the interference periodicity down to 170 nm. This decay can rather be explained by transforming the wires into separate granules than a smallness of the temperature modulation at small periodicities. Such an explanation is supported by the electronmicroscopic and ferromagnetic resonance data.
