Slow magnetization dynamics and energy barriers near vortex state nucleation in circular permalloy dots

Abstract: Time decay of the magnetization of the arrays of Permalloy circular dots of submicron sizes was measured on a long time scale (hours) near the vortex nucleation field. A considerable influence of external magnetic field and temperature on the slow magnetization dynamics was detected. The observed effects are explained by overcoming the field dependent energy barriers in the process of vortex nucleation. The magnetic viscosity and energy barriers were found from the magnetization time decay dependencies.

“…This behavior is similar to the one observed in isotropic materials. [13][14][15][16] For field applied along the EA direction, the annihilation field is 230 6 30 Oe (within our field resolution, this field is identical for all disks). It is interesting to note that the vortex core is not driven by the field up to the disk border.…”

“…Magnetically soft films of Permalloy (Py) were the topic of special attention of researchers for many years, first of all, due to their wide use in micro- and nanoelectronics [ 4 , 5 ]. Currently, these films are the main functional material of a wide variety of devices for hard disk drives, magnetic recording devices, electronic navigation systems, position detection, object motion, and magnetic biosensors [ 6 , 7 , 8 ], as well as new promising spintronic devices (e.g., film storage devices information with high density based on magnetic vortices [ 9 , 10 ]). In electronic devices, Permalloy films are typically used in multilayer film structures such as, for example, spin valves [ 5 , 8 ] or multilayer structures with a giant magnetoimpedance effect [ 11 , 12 ].…”

“…The thin soft magnetic disk, the prototypical system containing a vortex, has therefore become an extensively investigated system. Properties studied include structure 4,5 , dynamical modes [6][7][8] , annihilation 9,10 , and creation 9,[11][12][13] . As each aspect of vortex physics is probed experimentally, and considered for technological applications, theoretical understanding via simulation and modeling is also advanced.…”
