| Abstract: | Precessional switching of magnetization in CoPt and FePt nanofilms is investigated by solving the Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert (LLG) equation analytically and numerically. Switching in these films occurs only above a critical value of the magnetic field, and it further depends on the magnetocrystalline anisotropy and saturation magnetization of the film. The presence of magnetic surface anisotropy in these films reduces the switching time significantly. Also, the switching time in the case of Pt-alloys of Co and Fe is low compared to that in the case of pure Co and Fe films. |
