  • Abstract
    In this article, the direct FIB etching of magnetic thin films to form nanostructures is explored. The effect of Ga+ ion implantation on magnetic properties as well as possibility of using thin capping layers to reduce Ga+ implantation are studied. The shape and size dependence of magnetic domain patterns in FIB- fabricated nanostructures are investigated.
