Geometry Dependence of Magnetization Reversal in Nanocomposite Alloys

چکیده
The geometrical optimization of aligned hard-soft permanent-magnet nanocomposites is investigated by model calculations. Considered criteria are the shapes of the soft and c-axis-aligned hard phases, the packing fraction of the soft phase, and magnetostatic interactions. Taking into account that the energy product is enhanced via the volume fraction of the soft phase, subject to maintaining coercivity, we find that the best structures are soft-magnetic cubes as well as long rods with a square cross section. Comparing embedded soft cubes with embedded soft spheres of the same size, our nucleation-field analysis shows that the volume fraction of the soft phase is enhanced by 91%, with a coercivity reduction of only 25%. Magnetostatic interactions often but not always deteriorate the permanent-magnet performance, as exemplified by the example of MnBi:FeCo bilayers and multilayers.

The composition dependence of field induced anisotropy KU of field annealed soft ferromagnetic Co1−xFex 89Zr7B4 and Co1−xFex 88Zr7B4Cu1 amorphous and amorphous/nanocrystalline “nanocomposite” melt spun ribbons is investigated. With the exception of the highest Co-containing alloys x 0.10 , the observations are discussed in terms of a superposition of directional pair ordering of Fe,Co atoms and...
متن کاملMagnetization reversal behavior of nanogranular CoCrPt alloy thin films studied with magnetic transmission X-ray microscopy
Magnetic transmission soft X-ray microscopy has been used to study element—specifically the magnetization reversal behavior of (Co84Cr16)87Pt13 alloy thin films with a lateral resolution of 35 nm. Our results indicate that the magnetization switching is carried out by a random nucleation process that can be attributed to the reversal of individual grains. We found evidence of a large distributi...

Programmability of stable magnetization configurations in a magnetic device is a highly desirable feature for a variety of applications, such as in magneto-transport and spin-wave logic. Periodic systems such as antidot lattices may exhibit programmability; however, to achieve multiple stable magnetization configurations the lattice geometry must be optimized. We consider the magnetization stat...
