Abstract
Arrays of evaporated nickel particles with a variety of diameters (75-122 n m) and aspect ratios are fabricated in order to study the effect of the par ticles' geometry on their magnetic behavior, interactions and switching mec hanism. Hysteresis loops generated by simulating single-domain particles wi th out-of-plane magnetization are compared to the experimentally obtained d ata. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics.
