Coupled magnetostatic modes of ferromagnetic / antiferromagnetic cylindrical bilayers

Asymmetric reversal modes in ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic multilayers.

Experimentally an asymmetry of the reversal modes has been found in certain exchange bias systems. From a numerical investigation of the domain state model evidence is gained that this effect depends on the angle between the easy axis of the antiferromagnet and the applied magnetic field. Depending on this angle the ferromagnet reverses either symmetrically, e.g., by a coherent rotation on both...

Cooling-field dependence of asymmetric reversal modes for ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic

A numerical investigation of exchange coupled ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic multilayers with a twinned crystal structure for the antiferromagnet is presented. Motivated by recent experimental findings we focus on the influence of the directions of the magnetic field during the initial cooling procedure and during the hysteresis. Upon variation of these directions the ferromagnet displays diff...

Ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic transition in „La-R...4Ba2Cu2O10

Cuprate La-R 4Ba2Cu2O10 shows ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic phase transition by replacing La ions with rare earth R=Nd, Sm, Eu, and Gd ions at low temperature. We propose that the transition is caused by a competition between antiferromagnetic superexchange interaction of Cu spins via La ions and ferromagnetic superexchange interaction due to Hund’s rule coupling of spins of holes on oxyge...

Antiferromagnetic/ferromagnetic nanostructures for multidigit storage units

A new reversal mode in exchange coupled antiferromagnetic/ferromagnetic disks: distorted viscous vortex.

Magnetic vortices have generated intense interest in recent years due to their unique reversal mechanisms, fascinating topological properties, and exciting potential applications. In addition, the exchange coupling of magnetic vortices to antiferromagnets has also been shown to lead to a range of novel phenomena and functionalities. Here we report a new magnetization reversal mode of magnetic v...
