Quasistatic remagnetization processes in two-dimensional systems with random on-site anisotropy and dipolar interaction: Numerical simulations

Abstract

We have developed a method that enables a fast and exact evaluation of the long-range interaction field by simulating the lattice dipolar systems with periodic boundary conditions. The method is based on the combination of the fast-Fourier-transformation technique and the modified Ewald method for the lattice sum calculation. We have used our algorithm for simulations of the quasistatic remagnetization processes in twodimensional hexagonal lattices of dipoles with the uniaxial on-site anisotropy ͑anisotropic Heisenberg model with the long-range dipolar interaction͒, which can be considered as a plausible model of a thin polycrystalline magnetic film with the intergrain exchange and with each crystallite having its own single-grain anisotropy. During the remagnetization process we observe typical ripplelike magnetization structures well known from the experimental observations. The parameters of these structures as functions of the exchange and anisotropy strength are studied. ͓S0163-1829͑98͒03522-X͔

Magneto-Resistance and Induced Domain Structure in Tunnel Junctions

“…When the Ar pressure increases up to an optimum, equal to 1.5x10-2 mbar, the grain size and the coercive field increase up to a maximum. In this case, T2.9.1 the magnetization behavior is consistent with a reversal occurring through the appearance of ripples domain structures [4]. More important, the magnetic anisotropy stabilized at low pressure completely disappears.…”

Ultrafast optical manipulation of magnetic order

“…II.A͒. Often an assumption of zero temperature is made; however, a stochastic variant of micromagnetic simulations allows one to take finite temperature into account ͑Berkov and Gorn, 1998;Fidler and Schrefl, 2000;Nowak et al, 2005͒. A modeling using the LLG equation cannot describe the processes in a magnetic system close to the Curie temperature, in general, and the phenomenon of ultrafast demagnetization, in particular. In this case the damping is enhanced when approaching the Curie temperature and the magnetization magnitude is not constant in time ͑Nowak et al, 2005͒.…”

Temperature-dependent ferromagnetic resonance via the Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch equation: Application to FePt

“…The first is that the signal (spin system) must be periodic in space. The second is that the range of the response function should be the same as the signal [42]. The magnetic system is usually not periodic and the demagnetizing effects are long ranging and cannot be cut off at a reasonable distance due to the slow decay [42].…”

“…The second is that the range of the response function should be the same as the signal [42]. The magnetic system is usually not periodic and the demagnetizing effects are long ranging and cannot be cut off at a reasonable distance due to the slow decay [42]. To solve this, we simulate a finite system, therefore, to meet the above requirements it is required that we zero pad the magnetization configurations by doubling the size of each dimension and adding zeros in the areas where there are no macrospins.…”
