Abstract:
A magneto-optical indicator film (MOIF) technique is used for direct experimental study of the magnetization reversal process in a symmetric NiO/Co/Cu/NiFe/Cu/Co/NiO spin valve. It is shown for the first time that the reversal of the free center layer proceeds by nonuniform magnetization rotation. The observed switching mechanism is presumed to be associated with the influence of the nonuniform magnetostatic field that follows from surface roughness and the polycrystalline structure of the magnetic layers.
