Thermoelectric manipulation of the magnetization of a magnetic layered stack in which a low-Curie temperature magnet is sandwiched between two strong magnets (exchange spring device) is considered. Controllable Joule heating produced by a current flowing in the plane of the magnetic stack (CIP configuration) induces a spatial magnetic and thermal structure along the current flow --- a magneto-thermal-electric domain (soliton). We show that such a structure can experience oscillatory in time dynamics if the magnetic stack is incorporated into an electric circuit in series with an inductor. The excitation of these magneto-thermionic oscillations follow the scenario either of soft of hard instability: in the latter case oscillations arise if the initial perturbation is large enough. The frequency of the temporal oscillations is of the order of $10^5 div 10^7 s^{-1}$ for current densities $jsim 10^6 div 10^7 A/cm^3$.
Current-induced dynamics in spin valves including composite free layer with antiferromagnetic interlayer exchange coupling is studied theoretically within the diffusive transport regime. We show that current-induced dynamics of a synthetic antiferromagnet is significantly different from dynamics of a synthetic ferrimagnet. From macrospin simulations we obtain conditions for switching the composite free layer, as well as for appearance of various self-sustained dynamical modes. Numerical simulations are compared with simple analytical models of critical current based on linearized Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation.
In this work we report a study of the magnetic behavior of ferrimagnetic oxide CoFe2O4 and ferrimagnetic oxide/ferromagnetic metal CoFe2O4/CoFe2 nanocomposites. The latter compound is a good system to study hard ferrimagnet/soft ferromagnet exchange coupling. Two steps were used to synthesize the bimagnetic CoFe2O4/CoFe2 nanocomposites: (i) first preparation of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles using the a simple hydrothermal method and (ii) second reduction reaction of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles using activated charcoal in inert atmosphere and high temperature. The phase structures, particle sizes, morphology, and magnetic properties of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles have been investigated by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Mossbauer spectroscopy (MS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) with applied field up to 3.0 kOe at room temperature and 50K. The mean diameter of CoFe2O4 particles is about 16 nm. Mossbauer spectra reveal two sites for Fe3+. One site is related to Fe in an octahedral coordination and the other one to the Fe3+ in a tetrahedral coordination, as expected for a spinel crystal structure of CoFe2O4. TEM measurements of nanocomposite show the formation of a thin shell of CoFe2 on the cobalt ferrite and indicate that the nanoparticles increase to about 100 nm. The magnetization of nanocomposite showed hysteresis loop that is characteristic of the exchange spring systems. A maximum energy product (BH)max of 1.22 MGOe was achieved at room temperature for CoFe2O4/CoFe2 nanocomposites, which is about 115% higher than the value obtained for CoFe2O4 precursor. The exchange-spring interaction and the enhancement of product (BH)max in nanocomposite CoFe2O4/CoFe2 have been discussed.
We extend the ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) method based on density functional theory to the nonequilibrium situation where an electronic current is present in the electronic system. The dynamics is treated using the semi-classical generalized Langevin equation. We demonstrate how the full anharmonic description of the inter-atomic forces is important in order to understand the current-induced heating and the energy distribution both in frequency and in real space.
A magnetic bimeron is a topologically non-trivial spin texture carrying an integer topological charge, which can be regarded as the counterpart of skyrmion in easy-plane magnets. The controllable creation and manipulation of bimerons are crucial for practical applications based on topological spin textures. Here, we analytically and numerically study the dynamics of an antiferromagnetic bimeron driven by a spin current. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the spin current can create an isolated bimeron in the antiferromagnetic thin film via the damping-like spin torque. The spin current can also effectively drive the antiferromagnetic bimeron without a transverse drift. The steady motion of an antiferromagnetic bimeron is analytically derived and is in good agreement with the simulation results. Also, we find that the alternating-current-induced motion of the antiferromagnetic bimeron can be described by the Duffing equation due to the presence of the nonlinear boundary-induced force. The associated chaotic behavior of the bimeron is analyzed in terms of the Lyapunov exponents. Our results demonstrate the inertial dynamics of an antiferromagnetic bimeron, and may provide useful guidelines for building future bimeron-based spintronic devices.
Topological spin textures can be found in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional nanostructures, which are of great importance to advanced spintronic applications. Here we report the current-induced skyrmion tube dynamics in three-dimensional synthetic antiferromagnetic (SyAF) bilayer and multilayer nanostructures. It is found that the SyAF skyrmion tube made of thinner sublayer skyrmions is more stable during its motion, which ensures that a higher speed of the skyrmion tube can be reached effectively at larger driving current. In the SyAF multilayer with a given total thickness, the current-induced deformation of the SyAF skyrmion tube decreases with an increasing number of interfaces; namely, the rigidity of the SyAF skyrmion tube with a given thickness increases with the number of ferromagnetic (FM) layers. For the SyAF multilayer with an even number of FM layers, the skyrmion Hall effect can be eliminated when the thicknesses of all FM layers are identical. Larger damping parameter leads to smaller deformation and slower speed of the SyAF skyrmion tube. Larger fieldlike torque leads to larger deformation and a higher speed of the SyAF skyrmion tube. Our results are useful for understanding the dynamic behaviors of three-dimensional topological spin textures and may provide guidelines for building SyAF spintronic devices.
