“Spintronics,” in which both the spin and charge of electrons are used for logic and memory
operations, promises an alternate route to traditional semiconductor electronics. A complete …

A pure magnetic patterning by means of ion irradiation which relies on a local modification of
the magnetic anisotropy of a magnetic multilayer structure has been first demonstrated in …

Magnetism is a collective phenomenon. Hence, a local variation on the nanoscale of
material properties, which act on the magnetic properties, affects the overall magnetism in …

The static and dynamic magnetic properties, especially the magnetic damping behavior,
have been investigated as a function of saturation magnetization in thin Permalloy films. Ion …

Sub‐100‐nm magnetic dots embedded in a non‐magnetic matrix are controllably generated
by selective ion irradiation of paramagnetic Fe60Al40 (atomic%) alloys, taking advantage of …

The layer magnetization, the saturation magnetization as well as the magnetic anisotropy,
and damping behavior of 20 nm thick Ni 81 Fe 19 films have been modified by 30 keV Ni ion …

Focused ion beam (FIB) technology makes use of a highly-focused beam of charged ions to
perform precise nanopatterning tasks by steering it over a sample, tracing patterns defined …

Media with engineered magnetization are essential building blocks in magnonics,
spintronics, and superconductivity. However, the established thin film and lithographic …

Currently, magnetic nanostructures are routinely grown by focused electron beam induced
deposition (FEBID). In the present article, we review the milestones produced in the topic in …

High-resolution magnetic patterning of a thin CoFe layer has been performed by irradiation
using a focused-ion-beam system. Features< 50 nm wide were formed reproducibly. The …
