摘要
The propagation of a kink soliton through a perpendicularly magnetized antiferromagnetically coupled multilayer stack has been imaged by scanning laser Kerr microscopy. The soliton behavior allows layer-by-layer reversal leading to clear evidence of changes of switching behavior of different layers in the stack. We find that the density of domain nucleation sites is dependent on the configuration of the neighboring layers as well as height up the stack. By growing a series of single layer and coupled trilayer samples, we are able to explain the trends in nucleation seen in the soliton stack in terms of pinhole and orange peel coupling, in agreement with STEM (Scanning transmission electron microscope) imaging.
