The triangles are theoretical lines obtained by Equation 5. The insets are ESR of the samples with oblique sputtering angle of 0° and 60°. Here the saturation magnetization 4πM s was obtained by static VSM measurement; the perpendicular selleck chemical magnetic anisotropy constant could be acquired by fitting the experimental data with Equation 5. The fitted result showed that K⊥ of 60° was 16.3 × 103 erg/cm3 larger than the 12.9 × 103 erg/cm3 of 0°, which indicated increase with increasing oblique sputtering angle. Generally, the K⊥ of continuous film was almost zero due to strong demagnetization energy. In our case, the decrease of demagnetization energy was caused by shape anisotropy of nanostructure
films, which induced the increase of K⊥. Therefore, the increase of K⊥ induced inhomogeneities of magnetic anisotropy, which resulted in the increase of linewidth and/or damping factor. Conclusions The static and dynamic magnetic
properties of CoZr/AAO films with different oblique sputtering angles have been investigated. All the properties and parameters were found to be dependent on magnetic anisotropy field which was induced by the shape of the AAO template and oblique sputtering. The competition between the two factors resulted in the trend of dependence on anisotropy field H k and remanence ratio M r /M s, with various oblique sputtering angles. The resonance frequency change of CoZr/AAO films was also attributed to the effect of properties and oblique selleck chemicals sputtering. Enhanced microwave absorption was confirmed by complex permeability measurement comparing with continuous film on a Si all substrate. Acknowledgments This work is supported
