Using micromagnetic simulations we demonstrate core reversal of a fixed magnetic skyrmion by modulating the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of a nanomagnet with an electric field. We can switch reversibly between two skyrmion states and two ferromagnetic states, i.e. skyrmion states with the magnetization of the core pointing down/up and periphery pointing up/down, and ferromagnetic states wi...

As nanomagnetic devices scale to smaller sizes, spin-orbit coupling due to the broken structural inversion symmetry at interfaces becomes increasingly important. Here, we study interfacial spin-orbit coupling effects in magnetic bilayers using a simple Rashba model. The spin-orbit coupling introduces chirality into the behavior of the electrons and through them into the energetics of the magnet...

Based on Monte Carlo calculations, multipolar ordering on the Penrose tiling, relevant for twodimensional molecular adsorbates on quasicrystalline surfaces and for nanomagnetic arrays, has been analyzed. These initial investigations are restricted to multipolar rotors of rank one through four—described by spherical harmonics Ylm with l = 1 . . . 4 and restricted to m = 0—positioned on the verti...

Single-phase Zr2Co11 nanomagnetic materials with high coercivity have been fabricated by melt spinning with subsequent annealing under Ar, N2, and vacuum. Annealing coarsens the grains and decreases the density of defects, leading to intergrain decoupling action and the enhancement of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy field of the hard magnetic phase. Therefore, coercivity increases 44.7% from ...

Nanomagnetic memory and logic circuits are attractive integrated platforms for studying the fundamental thermodynamic limits of computation. Using the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, we show by direct calculation that the amount of energy dissipated during nanomagnet erasure approaches Landauer's thermodynamic limit of kTln(2) with high precision when the external magnetic fields a...

Magnetic interactions in magnetic nanostructures are critical to nanomagnetic and spintronic explorations. Here we demonstrate an extremely sensitive magnetic yoking effect and tunable interactions in FePt based hard/soft bilayers mediated by the soft layer. Below the exchange length, a thin soft layer strongly exchange couples to the perpendicular moments of the hard layer; above the exchange ...

We have successfully fabricated the first resonant magnetic nanostructures exhibiting a negative permeability in the midinfrared. These metal-dielectric structures exhibit local resonances based on metallic inductive-capacitive effects that are controlled by the dimensions of the individual nanostructures and are independent of the periodicity, which is much smaller than the resonance wavelengt...

The understanding and control of the magnetic properties of carbon-based materials is of fundamental relevance in applications in nano- and biosciences. Ring currents do play a basic role in those systems. In particular the inner cavities of nanotubes offer an ideal environment to investigate the magnetism of synthetic materials at the nanoscale. Here, by means of (13)C high resolution NMR of e...

a mild, green and highly efficient route for regio-selective amination of oxiranes was developed via incorporation of mn(ii), fe(ii), co(ii), ni(ii), cu(ii) and zn(ii) cations onto the surface of hydroxyapatite-encapsulated γ-fe2o3 nanoparticles (γ-fe2o3@hap). among six magnetically recoverable catalytic systems denoted as [γ-fe2o3@hap-mii], the catalyst in which m designated as fe(ii) showed t...
