The magnetic configurations of barcode-type magnetic nanostructures consisting of alternate ferromagnetic and nonmagnetic layers arranged within a multilayer nanotube structure are investigated as a function of their geometry. Based on a continuum approach we have obtained analytical expressions for the energy which lead us to obtain phase diagrams giving the relative stability of characteristic internal magnetic configurations of the barcode-type nanostructures.

as a function of their geometry. The asymmetry of round dots is produced by cutting off a fraction of
the dot and is characterized by an asymmetry parameter . This shape asymmetry has interesting
effects on the coercivity (Hc), remanence (Mr), and barrier for vortex and C- state formation. The
dependences of Hc and Mr are non monotonic as a function of with a well defined minima in
these parameters. The vortex enters the most asymmetric part and exits through the symmetric
portion of the dot. With increasing the vortex formation starts with a C-state which persists for
longer fields and the barrier for vortex exit diminishes with increasing asymmetry, thus providing
control over the magnetic chirality. This implies interesting, naively-unexpected, magnetic behavior
as a function of geometry and magnetic field
Asymmetric dots as a function of their geometry have been investigated using three-dimensional (3D) object oriented micromagnetic framework (OOMMF) code. The effect of shape asymmetry of the disk on coercivity and remanence is studied. Angular dependence of the remanence and coercivity is also addressed. Asymmetric dots are found to reverse their magnetization by nucleation and propagation of a vortex, when the field is applied parallel to the direction of asymmetry. However, complex reversal modes appear when the angle at which the external field is applied is varied, leading to a non monotonic behavior of the coercivity and remanence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
