- Abstract
- The formation of ordered magnetic domains in thin films is important for the magnetic microdevices in spin-electronics, magneto-optics, and magnetic microelectromechanical systems. Although inducing anisotropic stress in magnetostrictive materials can achieve the domain assembly, controlling magnetic anisotropy over microscale areas is challenging. In this work, we realized the microscopic patterning of magnetic domains by engineering stress distribution. Deposition of ferromagnetic thin films on nanotrenched polymeric layers induced tensile stress at the interfaces, giving rise to the directional magnetoelastic coupling to form ordered domains spontaneously. By changing the periodicity and shape of nanotrenches, we spatially tuned the geometric configuration of domains by design. Theoretical analysis and micromagnetic characterization confirmed that the local stress distribution by the topographic confinement dominates the forming mechanism of the directed magnetization.
