椭圆纳米盘中磁涡旋结构的方位角自旋波模式

本文针对坡莫合金椭圆形盘中的磁涡旋结构, 采用微磁学模拟与傅里叶分析相结合的技术研究了磁涡旋自旋波的本征激发模式. 通过沿样品短轴方向施加一面内方向的脉冲磁场, 观察到一系列方位角自旋波模式. 观察到的自旋波模式具有两重对称性, 可以通过C₂群理论来进行类型的划分. 此外, 自旋波模式的频率随着方位角指标的变化而线性增加. 模拟结果显示样品的平均交换能量密度明显的高于平均静磁能量密度; 局域交换能量密度主要集中在涡核初始位置, 而局域静磁能量密度主要分布在长轴附近. 交换作用对受限于铁磁薄膜椭圆盘中的单个涡旋态的能量要起主导作用, 从而导致方位角自旋波模式频率随着方位角指标的增加而增加.     

界面Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya相互作用下辐射状磁涡旋形成机制

辐射状磁涡旋结构是一种稳定的拓扑磁结构,因其具有热稳定性高、驱动电流小等特点,成为当前继斯格明子之后又一新兴的研究热点.本文利用微磁学模拟方法研究了在界面Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya相互作用（IDMI）下辐射状磁涡旋形成机制.结果表明：纳米盘直径越小,能稳定形成辐射状磁涡旋的IDMI强度范围就越大,当圆盘厚度增加一个数量级时,虽然可以稳定形成辐射状磁涡旋,但IDMI强度取值范围会随之变小.通过对不同磁矩初始态下辐射状磁涡旋的形成过程中磁矩、斯格明子数及各项能量变化的研究发现,环形涡旋和单畴均可作为辐射状磁涡旋形成的初始状态,但单畴初始态的形成时间比环形涡旋初始态的形成时间更长,其能量衰减时间比以环形涡旋为初始态的衰减时间更短.这表明形成辐射状磁涡旋极性比形成辐射旋性需要更长时间,且能量变化主要与涡旋核的生成及面内辐射状磁矩有关,而与涡旋核在盘中的位置无关.研究结果揭示了辐射状磁涡旋的形成机制,为基于辐射状磁涡旋的具体应用提供了理论依据.

铁磁球/反铁磁纳米体系磁滞回线的Monte Carlo模拟

利用经典Heisenberg模型和Monte Carlo方法研究外磁场和反铁磁磁晶各向异性、交换相互作用对铁磁球均匀嵌入到反铁磁基体中的铁磁/反铁磁纳米体系磁滞回线的影响.模拟结果显示,外加反向最大磁场不同时,磁滞回线形状不同.当磁场正向增加时,体系的磁化强度会产生一个跃变,但跃变高度与反向场最大值无关.反铁磁磁晶各向异性越大,体系的交换偏置现象越明显,且磁化强度回到饱和值所需的外磁场越大.随着反铁磁基体交换相互作用的增大,在正向和负向磁场区域还可能出现新的磁滞现象.

热效应在电流驱动反铁磁/铁磁交换偏置场翻转中的显著作用

电流驱动的面内交换偏置场翻转具有无需外磁场辅助、抗磁场干扰以及强磁各向异性等优势,受到广泛关注.然而,在纳米级厚度薄膜系统中,反铁磁/铁磁异质结的阻塞温度较低,同时电流脉冲会产生大量的焦耳热,理论上电流热效应对于交换偏置场翻转有着显著作用,但是其作用机制缺乏相关研究和验证.我们制备了一系列反铁磁IrMn厚度不同的Pt/IrMn/Py异质结,系统性地研究了热效应在电流翻转交换偏置场中的作用机制.结果表明,在毫秒级电流脉冲下,焦耳热能够使得器件升温至阻塞温度以上,解除反铁磁/铁磁界面的交换耦合,同时电流产生的奥斯特场和自旋轨道矩能够翻转铁磁磁矩,在降温过程中完成交换偏置场的翻转.并且,在翻转过程中,反铁磁/铁磁异质结的各向异性磁阻曲线呈现与温度相关的两步磁化翻转现象,分析表明该现象起源于交换偏置耦合与铁磁直接交换作用之间的竞争关系.本文的研究结果厘清了热效应在电流驱动交换偏置场翻转过程中的重要作用,有助于推动基于电控交换偏置场的自旋电子器件发展.

Dynamic vortex-antivortex interaction in a single cross-tie wall

A fascinating property of micromagnetism comes from the possibility to control the domain and vortex configuration through the sample shape and size. For instance, in a rectangular platelet a configuration containing a stable combination of vortices and an antivortex can be created. Such a single cross-tie wall can be understood as being a coupled micromagnetic system with three static solitons. Here we report on its magnetization dynamics including the vortex-antivortex interactions. The spectrum of eigenmodes is investigated as well as the effect of different vortex core orientations. We show that the vortex dynamics can be used to identify the core configuration, which is not directly accessible to x-ray microscopy because of its limited spatial resolution.     

Antivortex gyrotropic motion in a nanocontact

A vortex-antivortex pair can form in the free layer of a nanocontact device as a result of the Oersted field produced by the current. In a large-scale free layer having uniform magnetization boundary conditions an in-plane external magnetic field will tend to confine the vortex-antivortex pair, which undergoes gyrotropic motion about the nanocontact after an initial displacement from the static equilibrium position. With the vortex pinned to a defect at the nanocontact the antivortex dynamics can be isolated and gyrotropic precession of the antivortex will be the dominant mode. The frequency of antivortex precession increases as the external magnetic field increases, and the frequency decreases as the nanocontact current increases.     

Ultrafast nanomagnetic toggle switching of vortex cores

We present an ultrafast route for a controlled, toggle switching of magnetic vortex cores with ultrashort unipolar magnetic field pulses. The switching process is found to be largely insensitive to extrinsic parameters, like sample size and shape, and it is faster than any field-driven magnetization reversal process previously known from micromagnetic theory. Micromagnetic simulations demonstrate that the vortex core reversal is mediated by a rapid sequence of vortex-antivortex pair creation and annihilation subprocesses. Specific combinations of field-pulse strength and duration are required to obtain a controlled vortex core reversal. The operational range of this reversal mechanism is summarized in a switching diagram for a 200 nm Permalloy disk.     

Dynamic origin of vortex core switching in soft magnetic nanodots

The magnetic vortex with in-plane curling magnetization and out-of-plane magnetization at the core is a unique ground state in nanoscale magnetic elements. This kind of magnetic vortex can be used, through its downward or upward core orientation, as a memory unit for information storage, and thus, controllable core switching deserves some special attention. Our analytical and micromagnetic calculations reveal that the origin of vortex core reversal is a gyrotropic field. This field is induced by vortex dynamic motion and is proportional to the velocity of the moving vortex. Our calculations elucidate the physical origin of the vortex core dynamic reversal, and, thereby, offer a key to effective manipulation of the vortex core orientation.     

Dynamics of vortex–antivortex pair in a superconducting thin strip with narrow slits

In the framework of phenomenological time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau(TDGL) formalism,the dynamical properties of vortex-antivortex(V-Av) pair in a superconductor film with a narrow slit was studied.The slit position and length can have a great impact not only on the vortex dynamical behavior but also the current-voltage(Ⅰ-Ⅴ) characteristics of the sample.Kinematic vortex lines can be predominated by the location of the slit.In the range of relatively low applied currents for a constant weak magnetic field,kinematic vortex line appears at right or left side of the slit by turns periodically.We found such single-side kinematic vortex line cannot lead to a jump in the Ⅰ-Ⅴ curve.At higher applied currents the phase-slip lines can be observed at left and right sides of the slit simultaneously.The competition between the vortex created at the lateral edge of the sample and the V-Av pair in the slit will result in three distinctly different scenarios of vortex dynamics depending on slit length:the lateral vortex penetrates the sample to annihilate the antivortex in the slit;the V-Av pair in the slit are driven off and expelled laterally;both the lateral vortex and the slit antivortex are depinned and driven together to annihilation in the halfway.     

Competing symmetries and broken bonds in superconducting vortex-antivortex molecular crystals

Hall probe microscopy has been used to image vortex-antivortex molecules induced in superconducting Pb films by the stray fields from square arrays of magnetic dots. We have directly observed spontaneous vortex-antivortex pairs and studied how they interact with added free (anti)fluxons in an applied magnetic field. We observe a variety of phenomena arising from competing symmetries which either drive added antivortices to join antivortex shells around dots or stabilize the translationally symmetric antivortex lattice between the dots. Added vortices annihilate antivortex shells, leading first to a stable "nulling state" with no free fluxons and then, at high densities, to vortex shells around the dots stabilized by the asymmetric antipinning potential. Our experimental findings are in good agreement with Ginzburg-Landau calculations.     

Faster vortex core switching with lower current density using three-nanocontact spin-polarized currents in a confined structure

We perform micromagnetic simulations on the switching of magnetic vortex core by using spin-polarized currents through a three-nanocontact geometry. Our simulation results show that the current combination with an appropriate current flow direction destroys the symmetry of the total effective energy of the system so that the vortex core can be easier to excite,resulting in less critical current density and a faster switching process. Besides its fundamental significance, our findings provide an additional route to incorporating magnetic vortex phenomena into data storage devices.     

Magnetisation reversal in cylindrical nickel nanobars involving magnetic vortex structure: A micromagnetic study

A three-dimensional, Fast-Fourier-Transformed (3D-FFT) micromagnetic simulation was employed to study the magnetization reversal mechanisms in cylindrical nickel nanobars possessing magnetic vortices. Individual Ni nanobars of height 150–250 nm with aspect ratio varying from 2.1 to 2.5 were considered, all of them supporting magnetic vortices domains. Magnetization reversal in these nanobars involves the vortex-creation–annihilation (VCA) mechanism with an inversion symmetry feature observed mid-way during reversal process. The effect of incidence angle of externally applied field on overall magnetization reversal process is examined in detail. The corresponding variations in coercivity, squareness, exchange energy and vortex parameters are described by the micromagnetic study that can shed insights for building practical Ni nanobars magnetic nanostructures/devices.
