Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Dot arrays with diameter D=80-245nm are made of Co_<80>Pt_<20> (20nm) films with a large perpendicular anisotropy energy. Coercive force increases as the D decrease, and shows 7.6kOe at D=80nm. The switching volume for the array of D=140nm dots was estimated to be about 1.6×10^4nm^3, which was only about 5% of the dot volume. However, the MFM images revealed that all dots show single domain state during the magnetization reversal. It is likely that the reversal process starts from a nucleation at the center of the dot followed by propagation process. Moreover, the change in the switching field distribution as a function of D was discussed.
