摘要： The domain structures of Pt1-xCux/Co multilayer films in as-grown and remanent states have been investigated by using magnetic force microscope. The magnetic domain patterns are strongly influenced by the Cu concentration. For pure Pt/Co multilayer in as-grown state, its domain pattern is depicted as island-like one; however, with the Cu doped in Pt spacer layers, the doman patterns become dot-like, but the island-like domain pattern appears again for the Cu concentration of 14 at%. The domain patterns variation can be attributed to the change of effective perpendicular anisotropy Kueff due to the effect of Cu atom doped in the Pt spacer layers. Besides, the domain structures of Pt/Co multilayer films in remanent state after the application of various perpendicular magnetic fields have also been studied.
