Microscopic Field in Nanocrystailine Ferromagnetic Metal Films and the Opportunity for Studying it by the JLISR Method

摘要

The relation of the microscopic (local) field in nanocrystalline ferromagnetic metal films to macroscopic characteristics (the external magnetic field, average magnetization, saturation magnetization) is determined for the case where a nanocrystalline ferromagnetic film consists of crystallographically ordered grains separated by disordered regions and where the dimensions of grains along a normal to the film plane are much smaller than those in the film plane. In the case of a strong external field (28 > M), the magnetization direction is determined in grains in the form of oblate ellipsoids for metals with uniaxial or cubic magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Expressions are derived for the spin polarization of an ensemble of rapidly diffusing and nondiffus-ing muons in nanocrystalline ferromagnetic films. It is shown that experiments with "slow" positive muons make it possible to measure all parameters of such structures and to obtain important information for studying phase transition physics.
