The interplay between intrinsic and surface/interface-induced magnetic anisotropies strongly in- fluences magnetization processes in nanomagnetic systems. We develop a micromagnetic theory to describe the field-driven reorientation in nanomagnets with cubic and uniaxial anisotropies. Spin configurations in competing phases and parameters of accompanying multidomain states are calculated as functions of the applied field and the magnetic anisotropies. The constructed magnetic phase diagrams allow to classify different types of the magnetization reversal and to provide detailed analysis of the switching processes in magnetic nanostructures. The calculated magnetization profiles of isolated domain walls show that the equilibrium parameters of such walls are extremely sensitive to applied magnetic field and values of the competing anisotropies and can vary in a broad range. For nanolayers with perpendicular anisotropy the geometrical parameters of stripe domains have been calculated as functions of a bias field. The results are applied to analyse the magnetization processes as observed in various nanosystems with competing anisotropies, mainly, in diluted magnetic semiconductor films (Ga,Mn)As.

We demonstrate a quasi ballistic switching of the magnetization in a microscopic mag-neto resistive memory cell. By means of time resolved magneto transport we follow the large angle precession of the free layer magnetization of a spin valve cell upon applica-tion of transverse magnetic field pulses. Stopping the field pulse after a 180 degree precession rotation leads to magnetization reversal with reversal times as short as 165 ps. This switching mode represents the fundamental ultra fast limit of field induced magnetization reversal.
We study coupling between the ferroelectric polarization and magnetization of granular ferromagnetic film using a phenomenological model of combined multiferroic system consisting of granular ferromagnetic film placed above the ferroelectric (FE) layer. The coupling is due to screening of Coulomb interaction in the granular film by the FE layer. Below the FE Curie temperature the magnetization has hysteresis as a function of electric field. Below the magnetic ordering temperature the polarization has hysteresis as a function of magnetic field. We study the magneto-electric coupling for weak and strong spatial dispersion of the FE layer. The effect of mutual influence decreases with increasing the spatial dispersion of the FE layer. For weak dispersion the strongest coupling occurs in the vicinity of the ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition. For strong dispersion the situation is the opposite. We study the magneto-electric coupling as a function of distance between the FE layer and the granular film. For large distances the coupling decays exponentially due to the exponential decrease of electric field produced by the oscillating charges in the granular ferromagnetic film.
The large arrays of magnetic dots are the building blocks of magnonic crystals and the emerging bit patterned media for future recording technology. In order to fully utilize the functionalities of high density magnetic nanodots, a method for the selective reversal of a single nanodot in a matrix of dots is desired. We have proposed a method for magnetization reversal of a single nanodot with microwave excitation in a matrix of magneto-statically interacting dots. The method is based on the excitation of collective modes and the spatial anomaly in the microwave power absorption. We perform numerical simulations to demonstrate the possibility of switching a single dot from any initial state of a 3 by 3 matrix of dots, and develop a theoretical model for the phenomena. We discuss the applicability of the proposed method for introducing defect modes in magnonic crystals as well as for future magnetic recording.
The reversal of a uniform axial magnetization in a ferromagnetic nanotube (FNT) has been predicted to nucleate and propagate through vortex domains forming at the ends. In dynamic cantilever magnetometry measurements of individual FNTs, we identify the entry of these vortices as a function of applied magnetic field and show that they mark the nucleation of magnetization reversal. We find that the entry field depends sensitively on the angle between the end surface of the FNT and the applied field. Micromagnetic simulations substantiate the experimental results and highlight the importance of the ends in determining the reversal process. The control over end vortex formation enabled by our findings is promising for the production of FNTs with tailored reversal properties.
We demonstrate the magnetization reversal features in NiFe/IrMn/NiFe thin-film structures with 40% and 75% relative content of Ni in Permalloy in the temperature range from 80 K to 300 K. At the descending branches of the hysteresis loops, the magnetization reversal sequence of the two ferromagnetic layers is found to depend on the type of NiFe alloy. In the samples with 75% relative content of Ni, the bottom ferromagnetic layer reverses prior to the top one. On the contrary, in the samples with 40% of Ni, the top ferromagnetic layer reverses prior to the bottom one. These tendencies of magnetization reversal are preserved in the entire range of temperatures. These distinctions can be explained by the morphological and structural differences of interfaces in the samples based on two types of Permalloy.
