A statistical mechanical model for the switching mechanism of photoinduced magnetization is proposed making use of dynamics of magnetization in the circumstance with the metastable structure. As a typical model with metastability, the equilibrium and nonequilibrium properties of the Blume-Capel (BC) model have studied. We demonstrate reversible changes of magnetization corresponding to the chan...

Fast strain wave induced magnetization changes in long cobalt bars: Domain motion versus coherent rotation" (2015). A high frequency (88 MHz) traveling strain wave on a piezoelectric substrate is shown to change the magnetization direction in 40 lm wide Co bars with an aspect ratio of 10 3. The rapidly alternating strain wave rotates the magnetization away from the long axis into the short axis...

We investigated spin–orbit torque (SOT) induced magnetization switching and SOT efficiency for Mn1.8Ga1.0 (MnGa) single layers MnGa/Co2MnSi (CMS) bilayers. Magnetization measurements showed that ultrathin MnGa CMS were antiferromagnetically coupled to each other with clear perpendicular magnetization. SOT-induced was observed both MnGa/CMS/Ta MnGa/Ta stacks, the current reduced by a half in sta...

The temperature dependence of current-induced magnetization switching of ferrimagnetic CoGd free layers in spin valves is explored. At temperatures well above and well below the magnetization compensation temperature (T(MC)) of CoGd, a current flowing from the free layer to the CoFe fixed layer aligns the moments of the two layers parallel, and a current flowing in the opposite direction aligns...

Switching the magnetization of a magnetic bit by injection of a spin-polarized current offers the possibility for the development of innovative high-density data storage technologies. We show how individual superparamagnetic iron nanoislands with typical sizes of 100 atoms can be addressed and locally switched using a magnetic scanning probe tip, thus demonstrating current-induced magnetization...
