Magnetization switching in small ferromagnetic particles: Nucleation and coherent rotation
The mechanisms of thermally activated magnetization switching in small ferromagnetic particles driven by an external magnetic field are investigated. For low uniaxial anisotropy the spins rotate coherently while for sufficiently large uniaxial anisotropy they behave Ising-like, i.e., the switching then is due to nucleation. The crossover from coherent rotation to nucleation is studied for the c...
متن کاملMagnetization switching in a Heisenberg model for small ferromagnetic particles
We investigate the thermally activated magnetization switching of small ferromagnetic particles driven by an external magnetic field. For low uniaxial anisotropy the spins can be expected to rotate coherently, while for sufficient large anisotropy they should behave Ising-like, i.e., the switching should then be due to nucleation. We study this crossover from coherent rotation to nucleation for...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulation of magnetization switching in a Heisenberg model for small ferromagnetic particles
Using Monte Carlo methods we investigate the thermally activated magnetization switching of small ferromagnetic particles driven by an external magnetic field. For low uniaxial anisotropy one expects that the spins rotate coherently while for sufficiently large anisotropy the reversal should be due to nucleation. The latter case has been investigated extensively by Monte Carlo simulation of cor...

متن کاملNucleation Theory of Magnetization Switching in Nanoscale Ferromagnets
A nucleation picture of magnetization switching in single-domain ferromagnetic nanoparticles with high local anisotropy is discussed. Relevant aspects of nucleation theory are presented, stressing the effects of the particle size on the switching dynamics. The theory is illustrated by Monte Carlo simulations and compared with experiments on single particles.
