Metropolis Monte Carlo analysis of all-optical switching

Multiphysics Modeling of Plasmon-Enhanced All-Optical Helicity-Dependent Switching

“…After the calculation of opto-magnetic and opto-thermal effects of the laser, we simulate the magnetization switching by the Monte Carlo method. − ,, More information can be found in the Supporting Information. Figure a shows the magnetization switching for configuration (σ + , M – ), which means the input light is right-handed circularly polarized and the initial magnetization points downward.…”

“…However, direct modeling of magnetization switching induced by the localized chiral field is still lacking. One effective model that can analyze magnetization switching with external laser pulses is the Monte Carlo method, which has been utilized to simulate the heat-assistant magnetization reversal in ultrathin films, radiation-induced demagnetization, and all-optical switching . In the model of all-optical switching, the opto-thermal and opto-magnetic effects of lasers are considered.…”

Microstructure, electrical and humidity sensing properties of light rare earths zirconates

“…Moreover, they exhibit other interesting physical properties such as photocatalyst, ionic conductivity, thermophysical and have been proposed as a candidate for high temperature solid-oxide fuel cells [7]. By the other hand, the versatility of rare earths makes them suitable for ultrafast switching devices [8,9], for sensor application in various compounds [10,11] etc.…”

Controlling the Transverse Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect in Cr/NiFe Bilayer Thin Films by Changing the Thicknesses of the Cr Layer

“…Nanomaterials 2020, 10, 256 2 of 10 Giant magnetoresistance in Fe/Cr multilayers and antiferromagnetic coupling between ferromagnetic layers assisted by the Cr-spacing generated particular interest in ferromagnetic film systems containing Cr layers. Controlling the properties of the layers and interfaces makes it possible to develop new concepts that would potentially result in novel applications [10][11][12][13]. In this paper, we apply ellipsometry and the magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) as effective methods to characterize the ultra-thin bilayer films of NiFe coated with different thicknesses of Cr.…”
