fe49co33ni18 nanowire arrays (175 nm in diameter and lengths ranging from 5 to 32μm) were fabricated into nanopores of hard-anodized aluminum oxide templates using pulsed ac electrodeposition technique. hysteresis loop measurements indicated that increasing the length decreases coercivity and squareness values (from 274 oe and 0.58 to200 oe and 0.105, respectively), indicating the increase in m...

Micromagnetic simulations are elaborated to describe the magnetic dynamics in ferromagnetic bodies. In these simulations, most of the time is spent on the evaluation of the magnetostatic field in the magnetic material. This paper presents a new numerical finite difference scheme for the evaluation of the magnetostatic field based on the fast multipole method (FMM). The interactions between fini...

We investigate the competing effects of interlayer exchange coupling and magnetostatic coupling in the magnetic heterostructure ([Co/Pt]/NiO/[Co/Pt]) with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). This particular heterostructure is unique among coupled materials with PMA in directly exhibiting both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic coupling, oscillating between the two as a function of spacer ...

The metastable zero field magnetic states of elongated Permalloy islands on square lattices of different geometries are investigated by means of magnetic force microscopy and numerical calculations. Keeping the island shape L /w=10 fixed while varying the interparticle distances a, it is demonstrated that the relative frequencies of observed magnetic configuration at remanence strongly depend o...
