Off-centred immobile magnetic vortex

چکیده
Formation of the ‘dip’ structure which foregoes switching of magnetic vortex polarity is studied numerically in magnetic nanodisc. A new method based on influence of the spin-transfer torque is used. The method allows one to obtain the dip structure for immobile vortex which significantly improves studying accuracy in comparison with the case of moving vortex. Free out-of-plane vortices as well as in-plane vortices pinned on hole defects are considered. It is shown that the process of the dip formation is different for free and pinned vortices and direction of the dip does not directly depend on the vortex polarity.

Experimental observation of switching in ferromagnetic nanoscale double disks
We investigated a system of two overlapping ferromagnetic permalloy disks, called a hysteron. For sufficiently small disk diameters the hysteron contains only one vortex which is displaced off the center of the disk hosting it. By swapping the vortex from one side of the disk to the other via an in-plane magnetic field, the magnetization in the appended disk is reversed. The magnetization rever...
متن کاملObservation of thermally-induced magnetic relaxation in a magnetite grain using off-axis electron holography
A synthetic basalt comprising magnetic Fe3O4 grains (~ 50 nm to ~ 500 nm in diameter) is investigated using a range of complementary nano-characterisation techniques. Off-axis electron holography combined with in situ heating allowed for the visualisation of the thermally-induced magnetic relaxation of an Fe3O4 grain (~ 300 nm) from an irregular domain state into a vortex state at 550 ̊C, just b...
متن کاملThe formation number of vortex rings formed in uniform background co-flow
The formation of vortex rings generated by an impulsively started jet in the presence of uniform background co-flow is studied experimentally to extend previous results. A piston–cylinder mechanism is used to generate the vortex rings and the co-flow is supplied through a transparent shroud surrounding the cylinder. Digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) is used to measure the development of...
متن کاملFlux-flow voltage noise and normal-state resistance fluctuations in epitaxial (Dy,Y)Ba2Cu3O7 thin films
We have studied low-frequency noise in the normal and mixed states of high-Tc thin films. In the normal state, resistance fluctuations with a 1/f power spectrum are observed from 100 K up to 300 K. The normal state noise is largely attributable to hopping or reordering of oxygen vacancies which in turn lead to fluctuations in local carrier density in the copper oxygen planes. Analysis shows a s...
متن کاملAging and memory phenomena in magnetic and transport properties of vortex matter: a brief review
There is mounting experimental evidence that strong off-equilibrium phenomena, such as “memory” or “aging” effects, play a crucial role in the physics of vortices in type II superconductors. In the framework of a recently introduced schematic vortex model, we describe the out of equilibrium properties of vortex matter. We develop a unified description of “memory” phenomena in magnetic and trans...
