35. L of longitudinal magnetization ripple is measured in the current specimens to be 900 nm, a value of the same order of magnitude as determined by experiment and theory for soft ferromagnetic thin films. (39) In the thin film on 200-mesh copper grid, the magnetization direction tends to be oriented parallel to the edges of the defect structures created by FIB in order to minimize the stray field energy.
