Abstract

The development of magnetic anisotropy with regard to thickness in amorphous electrolytic Co-P alloys (15 at % P) has been observed in the range of thicknesses between 0.06-7.00μm. The study has been undertaken starting from the ratio M <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">r</inf> /M <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">s</inf> of the hysteresis loops. The results obtained indicate that for thicknesses below 4000 Å the samples show an axis of easy magnetization in the plane. In the case of greater thicknesses, the axis of easy magnetization develops gradually out of the plane, reaching a perpendicular position near 10 μm. Our results suggest that what we are dealing with here is a shape anisotropy such as that proposed by Cargill, III et al.
