Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The aim of the proposed is to study the influence of magnetic disorder in magnetically coupled multi-layer systems and its relation to the magneto-transport properties, in particular, the magnet0-ressistance. This magnetic disorder can take the form of in-plane magnetic domain correlation's or as magnetic roughness. To study this disorder we have developed scattering techniques to assess the magnetic disorder in buried layers. This information is not easily obtainable through other techniques. By combining conventional characterisation techniques, such as MOKE, MR, Etc) with both neutron and x-ray scattering techniques we shall fully characterise the magnetic disorder and its influence on the magneto-transport. In addition through careful control of the interface morphology we shall investigate the correlation between structural and magnetic disorder.
