Nanowires with very different size, shape, morphology and crystal symmetry can give rise to a wide ensemble of magnetic behaviors whose optimization determines their applications in nanomagnets. We present here an experimental work on the shape and morphological dependence of the magnetization reversal mechanism in weakly interacting Co80Ni20 hexagonal-close-packed nanowires. Non-agglomerated nanowires (with length L and diameter d) with a controlled shape going from quasi perfect cylinders to diabolos, have been studied inside their polyol solution in order to avoid any oxidation process. The coercive field HC was found to follow a standard behavior and to be optimized for an aspect ratio L/d > 15. Interestingly, an unexpected behavior was observed as function of the head morphology leading to the strange situation where a diabolo shaped nanowire is a better nanomagnet than a cylinder. This paradoxical behavior can be ascribed to the growth-competition between the aspect ratio L/d and the head morphology ratio d/D (D being the head width). Our experimental results clearly show the importance of the independent parameter (t = head thickness) that needs to be considered in addition to the shape aspect ratio (L/d) in order to fully describe the nanomagnets magnetic behavior. Micromagnetic simulations well support the experimental results and bring important insights for future optimization of the nanomagnets morphology

In spite of both technical and fundamental importance, reversal of a macroscopic magnetization by an electric field (E) has been limitedly realized and remains as one of great challenges. Here, we report the realization of modulation and reversal of large magnetization (M) by E in a multiferroic crystal Ba0.5Sr1.5Zn2(Fe0.92Al0.08)12O22, in which a transverse conical spin state exhibits a remanent M and electric polarization below ~150 K. Upon sweeping E between +- 2 MV/m, M is quasi-linearly varied between +- 2 {mu}B/f.u., resulting in the M reversal. Moreover, the remanent M shows non-volatile changes of {Delta}M = +- 0.15 {mu}B/f.u., depending on the history of the applied electric fields. The large modulation and the non-volatile two-states of M at zero magnetic field are observable up to ~150 K where the transverse conical spin state is stabilized. Nuclear magnetic resonance measurements provide microscopic evidences that the electric field and the magnetic field play an equivalent role, rendering the volume of magnetic domains change accompanied by the domain wall motion. The present findings point to a new pathway for realizing the large magnetization reversal by electric fields at fairly high temperatures.
Oriented Strontium Ferrite films with the c axis orientation were deposited with varying oxygen partial pressure on Al2O3(0001) substrate using PLD technique. The angle dependent magnetic hysteresis, remanent coercivity and temperature dependent coer civity had been employed to understand the magnetization reversal of these films. It was found that the Strontium Ferrite thin film grown at lower (higher) oxygen partial pressure shows Stoner-Wohlfarth type (Kondorsky like) reversal. The relative importance of pinning and nucleation processes during magnetization reversal is used to explain the type of the magnetization reversal with different oxygen partial pressure during growth.
The effect of noise on the process of high-speed remagnetization of vortex state of a pentagonal array of five circular magnetic nanoparticles is studied by means of computer simulation of Landau-Lifshits model. The mean switching time and its standa rd deviation of the reversal between the counterclockwise and clockwise vorticities have been computed. It has been demonstrated that with the reversal by the pulse with sinusoidal shape, the optimal pulse duration exists, which minimizes both the mean switching time (MST) and the standard deviation (SD). Besides, both MST and SD significantly depend on the angle between the reversal magnetic field and pentagon edge, and the optimal angle roughly equals 10 degrees. Also, it is demonstrated that the optimization of the angle, duration and the amplitude of the driving field leads to significant decrease of both MST and SD. In particular, for the considered parameters, the MST can be decreased from 60 ns to 2-3 ns. Such a chain of magnetic nanoparticles can effectively be used as an element of magnetoresistive memory, and at the temperature 300K the stable operation of the element is observed up to rather small size of nanoparticles with the raduis of 20 nm.
Solving the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation numerically, we investigate the effect of the potential landscape on the attempt frequency of magnetization in nanomagnets with the thin-film geometry. Numerical estimates of the attempt frequen cy are analyzed in comparison with theoretical predictions from the Fokker-Planck equation for the Neel-Brown model. It is found that for a nanomagnet with the thin-film geometry, theoretically predicted values for the universal case are in excellent agreement with numerical estimates.

We numerically study ultra fast resonant spin torque (ST) magnetization reversal in magnetic tunnelling junctions (MTJ) driven by current pulses having a direct current (DC) and a resonant alternating current (AC) component. The precessional ST dynam ics of the single domain MTJ free layer cell are modelled in the macro spin approximation. The energy efficiency, reversal time, and reversal reliability are investigated under variation of pulse parameters like direct and AC current amplitude, AC frequency and AC phase. We find a range of AC and direct current amplitudes where robust resonant ST reversal is obtained with faster switching time and reduced energy consumption per pulse compared to purely direct current ST reversal. However for a certain range of AC and direct current amplitudes a strong dependence of the reversal properties on AC frequency and phase is found. Such regions of unreliable reversal must be avoided for ST memory applications.
