摘要:

直径调制纳米线提供了一个重要的范例,设计三维磁性纳米结构的磁化响应的畴壁钉扎工程。为了了解其性质和控制过程,我们分析了FeCo调制的多晶两段纳米线不同的小直径的磁化响应。我们的建模表明,一个非常复杂的行为,强烈依赖于无序分布和拓扑非平凡磁化结构的重要作用。我们表明,调制的纳米线具有较小的直径差的特征在于增加矫顽场相比,直的,这是由形成拓扑保护的墙形成的两个3D的skyrmions与相反的手征解释。对于一个大的直径差异,我们报告发生了一种新的钉扎类型,这里称为“螺旋”:大直径段的磁化形成一个skyrmion管的核心位置在一个螺旋调制沿纳米线。该结构被钉在收缩处,并且为了穿透窄段,应减小涡旋/skyrmion核心尺寸。

英文摘要:

Diameter-modulated nanowires offer an important paradigm to design the magnetization response of 3D magnetic nanostructures by engineering the domain wall pinning. With the aim to understand its nature and to control the process, we analyze the magnetization response in FeCo modulated polycrystalline two-segment nanowires varying the minor diameter. Our modelling indicates a very complex behavior with a strong dependence on the disorder distribution and an important role of topologically non-trivial magnetization structures. We demonstrate that modulated nanowires with a small diameter difference are characterized by an increased coercive field in comparison to the straight ones which is explained by a formation of topologically protected walls formed by two 3D skyrmions with opposite chiralities. For a large diameter difference we report the occurrence of a novel pinning type called here the "corkscrew": the magnetization of the large diameter segment forms a skyrmion tube with a core position in a helical modulation along the nanowire. This structure is pinned at the constriction and in order to penetrate the narrow segments the vortex/skyrmion core size should be reduced.
