I’m looking for information regarding the magnetization vs magnetic field response of platinised silicon substrates.
I have recently performed MvH measurements of platinized silicon substrates (Pt150nm/TiO240nm/SiO2500nm/Si 500µm) and found a resulting diamagnetic response, (see attached image) As silicon itself is diamagnetic, this is to be expected. I am however having difficulty explaining the “loops” that appear when the magnetic field is raised above +-10kOe. If anyone could help me explain this, I would be extremely grateful
Best wishes
