Magnetization 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 کاملMagnetization 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 کاملQuantum Tunneling of Magnetization in Single Domain CoFe2O4 Particles
We systematically investigated the macroscopic quantum tunneling (MQT) phenomena of magnetization in CoFe,O, particles with a diameter ranging from 30 to 92 A in zero extemal magnetic field to remove the substantial influence of energy dissipation. For all of our samples, we observed the MQT phenomena in zero external magnetic field, in spite of the anticipation that a large magnetic field H co...
متن کاملQuantum tunneling of magnetization in Mn
The Mn cluster complex [Mn 12 O 12 (CH 3 COO) 16 (H 2 O) 4 ] ) 2CH 3 COOH ) 4H 2 O exhibits macroscopic quantum tunneling of magnetic moment, as evidenced by pronounced steps in the magnetization curve at low temperatures. The magnetization of Mn 12 acetate single crystals, and the slow relaxation of the magnetic moment, was measured in the temperature range from 3 K down to 60 mK with a very s...
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...
