Abstract

Thin magnetic films and multilayers are widely used in electronic devices and sensor systems, including systems for magnetic nondestructive testing and magnetic biodetection. Creating sensing elements of a new generation will necessitate the certification of film nanostructures. In this paper, a novel system is presented that allows automated measurement of parameters of thin ferromagnetic film structures at frequencies of 0.1 to 25 GHz in a magnetic field of up to 18 kOe.
