This study presents the results obtained from conducting a magnetic analysis of a multilayered sample structure composed of various metals (Ta, Cu, Co, Ni, Pt). The measurements were performed at a low temperature of 4 degrees, assessing R versus t measurements under different magnetic field strengths. A simple three-dipole model was employed to understand the transitions between two stable magnetic states characterized by uniaxial anisotropies. The analysis highlights the significance of dipole placement and interaction in shaping the film's magnetic behavior, paving the way for future advancements in magnetic materials.

From the following model it looks that we are observing transition between the two following states
Simple three-dipole model Three magnetic dipoles µi (i = 1,2,3) located on the vertical axis z, with first order uniaxial anisotropies of magnitudes ki and axis z. Distances between dipoles are dij (i j) For each dipole, the energy writes: Total Energy: Dipole 1 : k1 = 6×106 erg/cm2 (=K×t), µ1 = 1800 emu/cm2 (=MS×t, with t in nm) Dipole 2 : k2 = 3×105 erg/cm2 (=K×t), µ2 = 900 emu/cm2 (=MS×t, with t in nm) Dipole 3 : k3 = -3×106 erg/cm2 (=K×t), µ3 = 1800 emu/cm2 (=MS×t, with t in nm) Distances: d12 = 3 nm, d22 = 3 nm, d13 = d12 + d23 = 6 nm
