Ultrafast precessional switching in a permalloy thin film with magnetic surface anisotropy.

چکیده
Analytical and numerical analysis of ultrafast precessional switching dynamics, in a uniformly magnetized anisotropic permalloy thin film, described by the Landau-Lifshitz (LL) equation is presented. Precessional switching is realized in the film by applying a uniform pulsed magnetic field normal to the easy axis of magnetocrystalline anisotropy. The analytical solution of the LL equation is expressed in terms of the Jacobi elliptic function, the period of which is related to the period of the precessional motion. It is shown that switching occurs in the film above a critical value of the applied field. The switching time decreases steadily when the strength of the applied magnetic field is increased and further it reduces significantly when the film has magnetic surface anisotropy in it.

Use of the Faraday optical transformer for ultrafast magnetization reversal of nanomagnets
We propose a new strategy for ultrafast magnetization reversal of nanomagnets. Due to the Inverse Faraday Effect, circularly polarized optical pulses induce a pulsed magnetic flux in materials with large magneto-optical susceptibility. Alternatively, intense optical pulses can induce a pulsed magnetic flux by means of ultrafast demagnetization of a metallic thin film or multilayer with a perpen...

متن کاملObservation of magnetization reversal of thin-film permalloy nanostructures using ballistic electron magnetic microscopy
We have imaged the magnetization reversal process of thin-film permalloy (Ni80Fe20) nanostructures using ballistic electron magnetic microscopy. Their switching behavior is often influenced by the formation of end domains and the subsequent domain-wall propagation under application of a magnetic field. Occasionally, this process leads to the formation of a 360° domain wall that is stable in fie...

Permalloy-based thin film structures are excellent materials for sensor applications. Temperature dependencies of the magnetic properties and giant magneto-impedance (GMI) were studied for Fe19Ni81-based multilayered structures obtained by the ion-plasma sputtering technique. Selected temperature interval of 25 °C to 50 °C corresponds to the temperature range of functionality of many devices, i...

A thin film giant magneto impedance (GMI) based on magnetic field sensor has been developed using electrodeposited Ni-Fe permalloy. Chemical composition, surface morphology, and magnetic properties of Ni-Fe permalloy were characterized as a function of plateup parameters, and process conditions were established to deposit a Ni-Fe thin film with a high permeability (~1000) and a low coercivity (...
