磁涡旋极性翻转的局域能量

针对坡莫合金纳米圆盘中的单个磁涡旋结构,采用微磁学模拟研究了磁涡旋极性翻转过程中的局域能量密度.磁涡旋的极性翻转通过与初始涡旋极性相反的涡旋与反涡旋对的生成,以及随后发生的反涡旋与初始涡旋的湮没来实现.模拟结果显示当纳米圆盘样品中局域能量密度的最大值达到一临界值时,磁涡旋将会实现极性翻转,其中交换能起主导作用.基于涡旋极性翻转过程中出现的三涡旋态结构,应用刚性磁涡旋模型对局域交换能量密度进行了理论分析.通过刚性磁涡旋模型得到的磁涡旋极性翻转所需的局域交换能量密度的临界值与模拟结果符合得较好.     

末端形状对NiFe纳米薄膜磁反转动力学特性的影响

基于微磁学模拟方法研究末端形状对NiFe纳米薄膜的磁反转和自旋波本征动力学特性的调制及磁反转与自旋波模式软化间的内在联系.纳米薄膜微磁结构的相变总是伴随着某种自旋波模式的软化,软化自旋波模式空间分布预示微磁结构相变的路径.存在一临界裁剪度（h₀）.当裁剪度h<h₀时,磁振荡局域于末端边缘的EM自旋波软化诱导磁反转从磁体末端边缘磁矩失稳开始,边缘失稳区域向中央扩展形成反转畴,最后反转畴逐渐移出膜面外而实现反转.当h≥h₀时,形状各向异性导致边缘局域化模式自旋波被抑制,反转场附近一致模式自旋波的软化诱导磁体一致反转.

基于自由层与钉扎层均为垂直磁各向异性的自旋阀结构,采用微磁学模拟与傅里叶分析相结合的技术,研究了极化层磁矩小角度倾斜情形下自由层磁矩的进动翻转特性.通过沿样品垂直膜面方向同时施加电流与磁场,观察到自由层磁矩垂直膜面方向分量的平均值随磁场的演化翻转曲线中出现了多个凹槽.模拟研究结果表明:在一定的电流范围内,凹槽出现的位置与电流大小无关;而在固定的应用电流下,凹槽出现的位置将会受到样品厚度的影响;在凹槽区域内,非一致进动模式、自旋驻波模式、局域自旋波模式等多种磁振荡模式被激发.通过傅里叶分析,得到了各种磁振荡模式的频谱,频谱中的频率分布体现出了倍频以及间谐波的频率特性.     

钇铁石榴石自旋波导管中磁钉扎对自旋波模的影响（英文）

利用微磁模拟,研究钇铁石榴石自旋波导管边界的磁钉扎对其中自旋波动力学的影响。模拟结果表明：磁钉扎引起的双磁子散射将自旋波散射到多个方向,使得自旋波在k空间的分布更加分散。自旋波模的演化表明：不同自旋波模的共振场不同,而双磁子散射使得自旋波模的共振场更为接近。另外,双磁子散射通过改变自旋波模的弛豫速率,改变了自旋波模的共振强度,幅度可达40%。增大自旋波导能够降低磁钉扎的影响,可以用来提升自旋波导的性能。

选取具有尺寸限制的点接触结构作为研究对象,采用Thiele方程对模型中磁涡旋在自旋极化电流作用下的动力学行为进行计算.计算表明磁涡旋可以在一定的电流密度范围内稳定旋转,该稳定旋转可以存在的电流密度范围与点接触区的大小和纳米点的尺寸有关.当磁涡旋核作稳态旋转时,其所处的轨道半径以及旋转频率都随电流密度的增加而增加,旋转频率可调节的范围随点接触尺寸的增加快速减小.     

金属离子掺杂对CuO基纳米复合材料的交换偏置调控

为了研究反铁磁基体中掺杂的金属离子对交换偏置效应的影响, 本文采用非均相沉淀法制备了纳米复合材料. X射线衍射图(XRD)和场发射扫描电子显微镜(SEM) 照片清晰表明CuO纳米复合样品具有统一的颗粒尺寸, 约为80 nm. 通过体系中掺杂磁性金属离子Ni和Fe, 实现了亚铁磁MFe₂O₄ (M=Cu, Ni)晶粒镶嵌在反铁磁(AFM) CuO 基体中. 在CuO基体中加入少量的Ni能改变两相交界面的磁无序从而生成类自旋玻璃相, 相应提高对铁磁相磁矩的钉扎作用. 同时, 场冷过程中反铁磁相内形成磁畴, 冻结在原始状态或磁场方向上, 畴壁也起到钉扎铁磁自旋的作用, 进而提高交换偏置效应. 随后加入的Ni 会生成各向异性能较大的NiO, 也能够提高交换偏置场. 在带场冷却下, 所有样品均发生垂直交换偏置, 也证明了样品在场冷过程中形成了自旋玻璃相, 正是由于亚铁磁与自旋玻璃相界面上的磁交换耦合, 才导致回线在整个测量范围内发生了向上偏移. 零场冷却和场冷却(ZFC/FC)情况下磁化强度与温度变化曲线(M-T)说明在这些复合材料中的交换偏置效应是由于存在亚铁磁颗粒和类自旋玻璃相界面处的交换耦合作用. 研究发现随着持续掺杂Ni离子, 交换偏置场先缓慢增加后又急剧增加, 生成各向异性能高的反铁磁相NiO 和反铁磁相内的畴态组织是这一结果的原因.     

Co/CoO双层膜的各向异性磁电阻与交换偏置行为研究

本文系统研究了Co/CoO双层膜的各向异性磁电阻(AMR)与交换偏置行为,并给出了外加微扰场对交换偏置磁锻炼效应恢复程度影响的实验结果.结果表明磁锻炼效应发生后,施加0.15T的倾斜微扰场可致使铁磁畴分裂进而诱导磁锻炼效应的恢复,揭示磁锻炼效应恢复程度与微扰场的角度有紧密关联.在微扰场作用下FM自旋在两个方向分裂,一部分自旋沿微扰场方向,另一部则被冷却场的AFM自旋钉扎住而沿原来方向不变.当微扰场和冷却场夹角大于30°时,FM畴被分裂,磁锻炼效应开始恢复,表明一个磁畴内的铁磁自旋偏离夹角最大为30°,而磁锻炼效应发生后,部分AFM自旋偏离冷却场方向的角度则小于30°,实验结果与相应的理论计算结果一致.此外,恢复程度随微扰场角度的增加而增加,最大恢复程度时角度为90°.同时,磁锻炼效应的恢复增加了交换偏置值,为器件设计提供理论支持,在自旋电子学基础和应用研究方面具有重要的指导意义.

Co掺杂对铁磁金属La0.8Sr0.2MnO3磁电阻影响机理

通过对La_0.8Sr_0.2Mn_1-yCo_yO₃(y≤02)饱和磁矩和输运的测量,研究了Co对La_0.8Sr_0.2MnO₃的磁电阻影响机制.结果表明,在La_0.8Sr_0.2Mn_1-yCo_yO₃（y≤02）中Co³⁺离子是低自旋态.由于Mn³⁺—O—Co³⁺—O—Mn³⁺类型的磁交换与Mn³⁺-Mn⁴⁺离子间双交换作用相比较弱,Curie温度T_C附近的磁电阻随着Co掺杂量的增加而降低.与此相反,由于Co²⁺离子与e_g巡游电子的反铁磁交换耦合作用,低温区间的磁电阻随着Co掺杂量的增加而升高. 关键词： 低自旋 磁电阻 磁交换作用     

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.     

Fourier transform imaging of spin vortex eigenmodes

Thin-circular lithographically defined magnetic elements with a spin vortex configuration are excited with a short perpendicular magnetic field pulse. We report the first images of excited magnetic eigenmodes up to third order, obtained by means of a phase sensitive Fourier transform imaging technique. Both axially symmetric and symmetry breaking azimuthal eigenmodes are observed. We observe strong oscillations of the magnetization in the central part of the magnetic elements. The experimental data are in good agreement with micromagnetic simulations.     

Dynamics of transients in yttrium-iron-garnet

Yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) is an important technological material used in microwave devices. In this paper we use dual microwave (1-4 GHz) drives to study the dynamical bifurcation behavior of magnetostatic and spin-wave modes in YIG spheres and rectangular films. The samples are placed in a dc magnetic field and driven by cw and pulse-modulated microwave excitations at magnetostatic mode frequencies. A second microwave drive applied to the sample excites additional spin-wave modes that can interact with those arising from the original excitation and thereby affect the transmission characteristics at the primary frequency. We find a significant decrease in transmission of the primary when the secondary frequency is tuned to approximately half that of the primary drive. This decrease is observed both in the steady state behavior and in the initial overshoot transient associated with pulse modulation of the primary excitation. Results such as these are often treated by extending linear theory to include higher order interaction terms. Herein we present a simple dynamical model that reproduces results that qualitatively resemble the experimental data. (c) 1997 American Institute of Physics.     

Observation of coherence and partial decoherence of quantized spin waves in nanoscaled magnetic ring structures

Experiments and simulations are reported, which demonstrate the influence of partial decoherence of spin-wave modes on the dynamics in small magnetic structures. Microfocus Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy was performed on 15 nm thick Ni81Fe19 rings with diameters from 1 to 3 microm. For the so-called "onion" magnetization state several effects were identified. First, in the pole regions of the rings spin-wave wells are created due to the inhomogeneous internal field leading to spin-wave confinement. Second, in the regions in between, modes are observed which show a well pronounced quantization in radial direction but a transition from partial to full coherency in azimuthal direction as a function of decreasing ring size. In particular for larger rings a continuous frequency variation with position is observed which is well reproduced by spin-wave calculations and micromagnetic simulations.     

Interactions of spin waves with a magnetic vortex

We have investigated azimuthal spin-wave modes in magnetic vortex structures using time-resolved Kerr microscopy. Spatially resolved phase and amplitude spectra of ferromagnetic disks with diameters from 5 microm down to 500 nm reveal that the lowest order azimuthal spin-wave mode splits into a doublet as the disk size decreases. We demonstrate that the splitting is due to the coupling between spin waves and the gyrotropic motion of the vortex core.     

Micromagnetic dissipation, dispersion, and mode conversion in thin permalloy platelets

Micron-sized ferromagnetic Permalloy disks exhibiting an in-plane ferromagnetic vortex structure are excited by a fast rise time perpendicular magnetic field pulse and their modal structure is analyzed. We find azimuthal and axial modes. By a Fourier filtering technique we can separate and analyze the time dependence of individual modes. Analysis of the experimental data demonstrates that the azimuthal modes damp more quickly than the axial modes. We interpret these results as mode conversion from low-frequency azimuthal modes to the fundamental mode which is higher in frequency, i.e., mode-mode coupling in a system with a single Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert phenomenological damping constant alpha.     

Spin-wave activation by spin-polarized current pulse in magnetic nanopillars

We demonstrate the role of spin-polarized current pulse in activating only a subset of spin-wave normal modes in laterally confined magnetic systems. In order to derive selection rules based on geometrical considerations, the study was carried out by comparing the results of two different micromagnetic frameworks (a classical finite-difference time-domain scheme and the dynamical matrix method) and considering nanopillar devices of elliptical and circular cross-sections in different magnetic ground states (onion, S, and vortex states). The analogies and the differences existing between the mode activation process driven by spin-torque and that obtained by a magnetic field pulse are also addressed.     

Ferromagnetic resonance in interacting magnetic microstrips

The results of the micromagnetic simulation of forced oscillations of the magnetization in a system of two interacting microstrips located at an angle to each other have been presented. The ferromagnetic resonance spectra and the mode composition of resonant oscillations of the system have been investigated under the conditions of magnetostatic and exchange interactions between the microstrips. It has been shown that the magnetostatic interaction leads to the possibility of the excitation of in-phase and out-of-phase coupled oscillations of the magnetization of the microstrips. In the systems of exchange-coupled microstrips, there are intense resonances due to oscillations of the domain walls. The transformation of the ferromagnetic resonance spectrum and the change in the mode composition of resonant oscillations in different equilibrium configurations of the magnetization of the system have been discussed, as well as the conditions for the excitation of oscillations of different types depending on the direction of the microwave magnetic field.     

Dynamics of a pinned magnetic vortex

We observe the dynamics of a single magnetic vortex pinned by a defect in a ferromagnetic film. At low excitation amplitudes, the vortex core gyrates about its equilibrium position with a frequency that is characteristic of a single pinning site. At high amplitudes, the frequency of gyration is determined by the magnetostatic energy of the entire vortex, which is confined in a micron-scale disk. We observe a sharp transition between these two amplitude regimes that is due to depinning of the vortex core from a local defect. The distribution of pinning sites is determined by mapping fluctuations in the frequency as the vortex core is displaced by a static in-plane magnetic field.     

Spatially resolved dynamic eigenmode spectrum of Co rings

The spatially resolved eigenmode spectrum of micrometer-sized Co ring elements has been determined by means of combined vector network analyzer ferromagnetic resonance and time resolved magneto-optic Kerr effect measurements. Up to 5 resonant eigenmodes were observed in the frequency range from 45 MHz to 20 GHz as a function of an external magnetic bias field. A well-defined mode structure was found for the two equilibrium states (vortex and onion) which correspond to distinctive spatial modes. The effect of dynamic inter-ring coupling on the modes in the remanent states was evinced. The experimental results are found to be in good agreement with those of micromagnetic simulations. Our results demonstrate that, in analogy to the well-defined static equilibrium magnetic states of ring elements, the eigenmode spectra of this high symmetry geometry consist of a well-defined and simple mode structure.     

Brillouin light scattering investigation of FeSm/FeTaN trilayer

The static and dynamic magnetic properties of a FeTaN/FeSm/FeTaN trilayer are investigated by alternating gradient field magnetometry and Brillouin light scattering. Evidence is given for a strong in-plane uniaxial anisotropy induced by a magnetic field applied during deposition. The spin-wave spectrum consists of different modes, with either surface or bulk character. A nonreciprocal behavior of the spin-wave frequency due to the exchange field exerted on the FeTaN layer at the FeSm interface is observed.
