Abstract
Measurements are presented of sub-ns magnetization reversal processes of pe rpendicularly magnetized (CoCr/Pt) multilayers. using real-time Kerr micros copy with a 10 ps temporal resolution, The multilayers are placed in contac t with a ring-type recording head, which is used as a sub-ns risetime magne tic field source (Deltat = 0.8 ns). By scanning the laser beam across the g ap the influence of the field angle on the reversal process is studied. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
