Temst and M. J. Van Bael Laboratorium voor Vaste-Stoffysica en Magnetisme, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Celestijnenlaan 200 D, B-3001 Leuven, Belgium H. Fritzsche Hahn-Meitner-Institut, Glienicker Strasse 100, D-14109 Berlin, Germany (Received 12 February 2001; accepted 4 June 2001) Using off-specular polarized neutron reflectometry with neutron spin analysis, we determined the magnetic properties of a large array of in-plane magnetized ferromagnetic Co disks. Resonant peaks are clearly observed in the off-specular reflectivity, due to the lateral periodicity of the disk array. Using polarized neutrons, the intensity of the resonant peak in the off-specular reflectivity is studied as a function of the magnetic field applied in the sample plane. Spin analysis of the reflected neutrons reveals the magnetization reversal and saturation within the disks. ©2001 American Institute of Physics. doi: 10.1063/1.1389764 PACS: 75.50.Cc, 75.60.Jk, 75.45.+j Additional Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Full Text: [ HTML Sectioned HTML PDF (272 kB) GZipped PS ] Order ------------------------------------------------------------------------ References Citation links [e.g., Phys.
