Vi. Nikitenko et al., SPIN REORIENTATION TRANSITIONS AND DOMAIN-STRUCTURE IN MAGNETIC MULTILAYERS, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 33(5), 1997, pp. 3661-3663
Spin reorientation phase transitions and the evolution of the magnetic
phases states arising during magnetization reversal of antiferromagne
tic CoNiCu/Cu superlattice are studied using magneto-optical indicator
film technique, accompanied by vector hysteresis loop measurements. T
he spin-flop and nonsymmetric angle phases have been found and analyze
d. It is shown that they arise due to the nucleation and growth of dom
ains.
