Abstract
AbstractThe anisotropy field strength HK is measured in thin nickel and 81/19 nickel‐iron films immediately after deposition and during subsequent systematic annealing in external magnetic fields. These measurements are performed with the films kept in ultra high vacuum using a planar Hall effect method. An analysis of the HK‐isotherms and of the temperature dependence of HK gives the spectrum of HK‐contributions of a given film with their relaxation times and activation energies. In non‐magnetostrictive permalloy the main contribution to the anisotropy (of 60 to 85%) is attributed to directional ordering of the iron pairs. In nickel a complicated concurrence of several anisotropy contributions is found. The contribution of the magnetoelastic energy dominates; it can be understood in terms of the constraint model.
