Development of an in situ magnetoelastic magneto-optical Kerr effect magnetometer

Abstract:
Reported here is the development and implementation of an integrated in situ magnetoelastic measurement setup with a MOKE magnetometer, repositionable electromagnet, and sample transfer/straining device. The former were used within a molecular beam epitaxial vacuum growth chamber. Consequently the magnetostriction constants for both Cr capped and uncapped Fe/GaAs(100) films were acquired without film oxidization occurring. Samples were bent in a four point bending geometry to produce a quantifiable tensile mechanical strain on the films during magnetoelastic measurements. In addition, a laser measurement system was developed to confirm the induced strain in the samples.

Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...
