Domain Reversal Simulation for Anisotropy-Energy Fluctuation

چکیده
Influence of a nonuniform anisotropy distribution on domain reversal dynamics in ferromagnetic thin films has been investigated. A micromagnetic model has been developed adopting a Monte Carlo algorithm to examine the thermally activated reversal process. In this study, the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy magnitude is spatially nonuniform. Interestingly, the simulation results demonstrate the crucial importance of the nonuniform anisotropy variation on the domain reversal dynamics. The reversal behavior is altered from wall-motion dominant to nucleation dominant with a small change in the spatial anisotropy distribution.

متن کاملAnalysis of recording in patterned media (PM) with geometry and material fluctuation
Unlike continuous media recording, patterned media (PM) require strict synchronization of the signal misregistration time and the element positions. Here, we propose a scheme that relies on full micromagnetic simulations of the single PM element and allows for the characterization of synchronized PM recording and proper writing probability for different media parameters fluctuations (e.g. aniso...
متن کاملAtomistic spin model simulation of magnetic reversal modes near the Curie point
The so-called linear reversal mode is demonstrated in spin model simulations of the high anisotropy material Llo FePt. Reversal of the magnetization is found to readily occur in the linear regime despite an energy barrier (KV / kB T) that would conventionally ensure stability on this timescale. The timescale for the reversal is also established with a comparison to the Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch equ...

In a model artificial multiferroic system consisting of a (011)-oriented ferroelectric Pb(Mg,Nb,Ti)O3 substrate intimately coupled to an epitaxial ferromagnetic (La,Sr)MnO3 film, electric field pulse sequences of less than 6 kV/cm induce large, reversible, and bistable remanent strains. The magnetic anisotropy symmetry reversibly switches from a highly anisotropic two-fold state to a more isotr...
