Abstract

The perpendicular magnetization reversal in thin multilayer films is investigated experimentally by magnetooptical Kerr rotation and by light diffraction at nanostructures. Considering the dependence of the reversal velocity on the applied field, a prediction of the magnetic behaviour is possible using a minimum energy model, including mechanical stress and temperature behaviour
