Abstract
In this thesis, the physics underlying the magnetic behavior of metallic microstructures, including their responses to magnetic fields and electric currents is explored. The dynamic and static components of the magnetization are respectively probed through Brillouin light scattering and Kerr imaging method. The design, growth and fabrication of various structures are presented, while the experimental findings are analyzed by theoretical modeling and calculations. The highlights include (a) Brillouin light scattering studies of spin precession under tunable magnetic field imbalance, (b) Kerr imaging of layer-by-layer magnetic reversal in cobalt-platinum multilayer, (c) Observation of spin-polarized current induced domain wall motion in magnetic microwires. All of these results demonstrate that light scattering as an excellent tool for probing novel functionality of metallic magnetic microstructures. Future prospects along the direction of research involved in this thesis are also presented.
