Layered high-coercive garnet films characterized by a couple of parameters very suitable for creating reconfigurable magnetic atomic traps with new properties are investigated. Non-uniform distribution of inner stresses and chemical composition stratification obtained in the films can be increased technologically to form sublayers for independent local switching by means of thermomagnetic recording. It makes possible to provide more than two magnetic states and create special types of atomic traps with additional "states of freedom". The experience in the films synthesis and experimental thermomagnetic recording for multilevel traps modeling is described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
