Firstly, the feasibility of the method is proved by principle and simulation. Secondly a signal processing method is proposed to solve the noise, zero drift, and localization. Then the experiments show that the PMF method can generate a magnetic field of over 1,40,000 A/m, causing the silicon steel to reach a high saturation state, over 2 T. Finally, the effect of capacitance value on the measurement of the intrinsic magnetization curve is explored.

Here, we study the impact of aperiodic Kolakoski order on the spin-valley polarization and TMR of MSSLs. The spin-valley polarization and TMR of Kolakoski (K-) MSSLs are compared with the ones of periodic (P-), Thue–Morse (TM-), and Cantor (C-) MSSLs. We find that the higher degree of disorder of the Kolakoski sequence reduces the total conductance of the antiparallel magnetization configuration, resulting in an effective enhancement of the TMR. Also, the aperiodic Kolakoski order gives rise to energy regions of two well-defined spin-valley polarization states accessible by switching the magnetization direction. The aperiodic Kolakoski order in conjunction with structural asymmetry can optimize the spin-valley polarization and TMR of MSSLs.

These layers influence the interfacial structure, and electronic environment, all of which contribute to variations in the effective demagnetizing field, g-factor, saturation magnetization, and perpendicular surface anisotropy constants. Ferromagnetic resonance has been used to investigate the enhancement of the Gilbert damping parameter, where the damping parameter is higher for the Cu/Co/Pt multilayers across the entire Co thickness range.
