Figure 4

Change in magnetic domain structures due to an applied external magnetic field for Al2O3/CoPt/AZO trilayer shown in Fig. 3. (a) Common polar Kerr loop and (b–h) MFM images under external magnetic fields of 0 (after DC demagnetization), 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, and 2.0 kOe, respectively. Red closed circles in (a) show each MFM measurement state.
