Ad. Santos et al., DOMAINS AND GIANT MAGNETO-IMPEDANCE IN AMORPHOUS RIBBONS BY MAGNETOOPTICAL KERR-EFFECT, Journal of applied physics, 79(8), 1996, pp. 6546-6548
By longitudinal magneto-optical Kerr effect microscopy we analyzed the
development of the domain structure in Co70.4Fe4.6Si15B10 amorphous r
ibbons for which giant magneto-impedance had been observed. Using tran
sverse and longitudinal magneto-optical Kerr effect magnetometry we me
asured the magnetization direction around the hysteresis loop. These r
esults allowed us to model the domain structure of the sample during t
he giant magneto-impedance measurements. (C) 1996 American Institute o
