dc.description.abstract | Magnetic skyrmions are spin textures that can arise in thin films that exhibit the Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction. Such interaction emerges from symmetry breaking at the interface
between a ferromagnetic material and a heavy metal. Typically, skyrmions must be subjected to
an external magnetic field to be stabilized, which compromises their potential for technological
applications. In this work, we aimed to use the exchange bias phenomenon to replace the role of
the external field in the formation of such spin textures. Thin films composed of IrMn and Co/Pd
multilayers were deposited using magnetron sputtering on glass substrates. A variable-thickness
Pd spacer was inserted between IrMn and the first Co layer, with the aim of gradually reducing
the interaction between the antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic layers. To induce the exchange
bias phenomenon perpendicular to the film plane, the samples were subjected to heat treatments
and cooled in the presence of an external magnetic field. The samples were magnetically characterized before and after treatment using AGFM and VSM techniques. Some of the as-fabricated
samples exhibited perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, and after treatment, all samples showed
this anisotropy. We observed a variation in the bias field and coercive field intensity with the
temperature of the heat treatment and the thickness of the spacer. Magnetic force microscopy
was used to observe the magnetic domain structures present in the films under three different
conditions: as-fabricated samples, after magnetically saturating out-of-plane, and after an AC
demagnetization protocol. Despite the presence of perpendicular anisotropy and exchange bias
in most of the films, only labyrinth and bubble-type structures were observed. It was not possible
to confirm the presence of skyrmions or the influence of EB on their formation. | |
