Abstract

Electrolytic cylindrical amorphous CoP multilayers, grown on copper wires, with controlled continuos variation of the magnetic anisotropy, in both, direction and magnitude, have been produced. The inner zone of the samples has been grown to exhibit radial anisotropy and the overlayer has been obtained with planar longitudinal anisotropy. Our studies have revealed that the magnetization at the surface of the samples is strongly coupled with the bulk anisotropy for thickness of the overlayer of ≈ 1.5 μm. Furthermore, it has been found that an angular deformation applied to the samples, when the copper wire is subjected to a torsion, modifies the direction of the longitudinal anisotropy to the helical direction. Also, a large spontaneous Matteucci effect is induced by means of this angular deformation.
