Magnetic vortex core observation in circular dots of permalloy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spin structures of nanoscale magnetic dots are the subject of increasing scientific effort, as the confinement of spins imposed by the geometrical restrictions makes these structures comparable to some internal characteristic length scales of the magnet. For a vortex (a ferromagnetic dot with a curling magnetic structure), a spot of perpendicular magnetization has been theoretically predicted to exist at the center of the vortex. Experimental evidence for this magnetization spot is provided by magnetic force microscopy imaging of circular dots of permalloy (Ni(80)Fe(20)) 0.3 to 1 micrometer in diameter and 50 nanometers thick.

متن کاملDynamics of ferromagnetic nanomagnets with vortex or single-domain configuration
We study the dynamics of flat circular permalloy nanomagnets for 1.) magnetic vortex and 2.) single-domain configurations using micromagnetic simulation. Dynamical studies for isolated vortex structures show that both the vorticity and the polarity of the out-of-plane component can be switched fast (50-100 ps). Micromagnetic simulations of the switching process in thin cylindrical Permalloy(Py)...
متن کاملFerromagnetic vortex core switching at elevated temperatures
An approach for the investigation of vortex core switching is presented. Thermal effects up to the Curie point are included in a micromagnetic framework based on the recently developed Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch equation. In this approach it is easier to avoid numerical discretization artifacts, commonly present when a Bloch point is mediating the switching process. Switching in thin circular permal...
متن کاملUniversal criterion and phase diagram for switching a magnetic vortex core in soft magnetic nanodots.
The universal criterion for ultrafast vortex-core switching between the up- and down-core bistates in soft magnetic nanodots is investigated by micromagnetic simulations along with vortex-core switching that occurs whenever the velocity of vortex-core motion reaches its critical velocity, upsilon cri = (1.66 +/- 0.18) gamma mean square root of Aex (e.g., upsilon cri = 330 +/- 37 m/s for Permall...
متن کاملProbing the spin polarization of current by soft x-ray imaging of current-induced magnetic vortex dynamics.
Time-resolved soft x-ray transmission microscopy is applied to image the current-induced resonant dynamics of the magnetic vortex core realized in a micron sized Permalloy disk. The high spatial resolution better than 25 nm enables us to observe the resonant motion of the vortex core. The result also provides the spin polarization of the current to be 0.67+/-0.16 for Permalloy by fitting the ex...
