“…Although the recent progress in the electron and ion beam lithography has made possible the fabrication of arrays of magnetic nanoelements (nanodots) on a large scale 9,[11][12][13]20,22,[25][26][27] , the fabrication of arrays of elements with high aspect ratios (height substantially larger than the radius), which is necessary for the effective dipolar interaction between the elements 22 , still remains a challenging technological problem. Nonetheless, we believe that materials with uniaxial crystallographic anisotropy 28 , like multi-layered composites of CoPt, Co 3 Pt, FePt, CoPd 29 , which exhibit strongly perpendicular static magnetization in the absence of a bias magnetic field, will make possible the physical realization of the magnetic nanodot arrays for signal processing applications in the near future.…”
