Anatomy of Demagnetizing and Exchange Fields in Magnetic Nanodots
Influenced by 3D Shape Modifications
   [PDF]

Tomasz Blachowicz, Andrea Ehrmann
Hysteresis loops of 3D ferromagnetic permalloy nano-half-balls (dots) with 100 nm base diameter have been examined by means of LLG micromagnetic simulations and finite element methods. Tests were carried out with two orthogonal directions of the externally applied field at 10 kA/(m.ns) field sweeping speed. The comparison of samples with different 3D modifications at the sub-10nm scale, accessible by nowadays lithographic techniques, enables conclusions about different mechanisms of competition between demagnetizing and exchange fields. Design paradigms provided here can find possible applications in magneto-electronic devices.
