摘要:

名义上的圆形纳米磁体的形状不对称性提供了一个潜在的手段,为涡旋手性控制。然而,在现实的阵列中,它们的影响是具有挑战性的探测,因为不对称的磁化反转过程往往是平均的,包括所有角度的分布。在这里,我们研究了形状不对称性如何影响亚微米边缘切割Co点阵列中的涡旋反转。我们发现,在不同的磁场方向和周期序列下,涡旋可以被操纵在特定的位置湮灭。涡旋湮灭场和手征控制的程度敏感地依赖于所施加的场相对于点的平坦边缘的角位置。对于小角度,主环湮灭场显着大于从半环和涡旋手征可以很好地控制。在中间角度的手征性控制丢失和一个有趣的交叉在湮灭场被发现:半圈实际上挤出的主要回路外,表现出更大的涡旋湮灭场。在大角度下,沿主环和半环的湮灭场变得简并。

英文摘要:

Shape asymmetries in nominally circular nanomagnets provide a potential means for vortex chirality control. However, in realistic arrays their effects are challenging to probe since asymmetric magnetization reversal processes are often averaged to include distributions over all angles. Here we investigate how shape asymmetry influences the vortex reversal in arrays of sub-micron edge-cut Co dots. We find that the vortices can be manipulated to annihilate at particular sites under different field orientations and cycle sequences. The vortex annihilation field and degree of chirality control depend sensitively on the angular position of the applied field relative to the flat edge of the dots. For small angles, the major loop annihilation field is significantly larger than that found from the half loop and the vortex chirality can be well controlled. At intermediate angles the chirality control is lost and an interesting crossover in the annihilation field is found: the half loop actually extrudes outside of the major loop, exhibiting a larger vortex annihilation field. At large angles the annihilation fields along major and half loops become degenerate.
