Tuning the magnetic anisotropy of CoFeB grown on flexible substrates |
(a) Magnetic hysteresis loops of the CoFeB thin film in the virgin state with the external field applied along the in-plane hard and easy axes. (b) Remanence as a function of the field orientation φ for the CoFeB exhibits uniaxial symmetry about both the easy and the hard axes. The field orientation φ is defined as the angle between the external field and the easy axis. The easy axis is defined as φ = 0° and the hard axis is defined as φ = 90°. |
