Deep neural networks are used to model the magnetization dynamics in magnetic thin film elements. The magnetic states of a thin film element can be represented in a low dimensional space. With convolutional autoencoders a compression ratio of 1024:1 was achieved. Time integration can be performed in the latent space with a second network which was trained by solutions of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. Thus the magnetic response to an external field can be computed quickly.
We study, using simulated experiments inspired by thin film magnetic domain patterns, the feasibility of phase retrieval in X-ray diffractive imaging in the presence of intrinsic charge scattering given only photon-shot-noise limited diffraction data
. We detail a reconstruction algorithm to recover the samples magnetization distribution under such conditions, and compare its performance with that of Fourier transform holography. Concerning the design of future experiments, we also chart out the reconstruction limits of diffractive imaging when photon- shot-noise and the intensity of charge scattering noise are independently varied. This work is directly relevant to the time-resolved imaging of magnetic dynamics using coherent and ultrafast radiation from X-ray free electron lasers and also to broader classes of diffractive imaging experiments which suffer noisy data, missing data or both.
Finding amorphous polymers with higher thermal conductivity is important, as they are ubiquitous in heat transfer applications. With recent progress in material informatics, machine learning approaches have been increasingly adopted for finding or de
signing materials with desired properties. However, relatively limited effort has been put into finding thermally conductive polymers using machine learning, mainly due to the lack of polymer thermal conductivity databases with reasonable data volume. In this work, we combine high-throughput molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and machine learning to explore polymers with relatively high thermal conductivity (> 0.300 W/m-K). We first randomly select 365 polymers from the existing PolyInfo database and calculate their thermal conductivity using MD simulations. The data are then employed to train a machine learning regression model to quantify the structure-thermal conductivity relation, which is further leveraged to screen polymer candidates in the PolyInfo database with thermal conductivity > 0.300 W/m-K. 133 polymers with MD-calculated thermal conductivity above this threshold are eventually identified. Polymers with a wide range of thermal conductivity values are selected for re-calculation under different simulation conditions, and those polymers found with thermal conductivity above 0.300 W/m-K are mostly calculated to maintain values above this threshold despite fluctuation in the exact values. A classification model is also constructed, and similar results were obtained compared to the regression model in predicting polymers with thermal conductivity above or below 0.300 W/m-K. The strategy and results from this work may contribute to automating the design of polymers with high thermal conductivity.
Exchange-coupled structures consisting of ferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic layers become technologically more and more important. We show experimentally the occurrence of completely reversible, hysteresis-free minor loops of [Co(0.2 nm)/Ni(0.4 nm)/Pt(
0.6 nm)]$_N$ multilayers exchange-coupled to a 20 nm thick ferrimagnetic Tb$_{28}$Co$_{14}$Fe$_{58}$ layer, acting as hard magnetic pinning layer. Furthermore, we present detailed theoretical investigations by means of micromagnetic simulations and most important a purely analytical derivation for the condition of the occurrence of full reversibility in magnetization reversal. Hysteresis-free loops always occur if a domain wall is formed during the reversal of the ferromagnetic layer and generates an intrinsic hard-axis bias field that overcomes the magnetic anisotropy field of the ferromagnetic layer. The derived condition further reveals that the magnetic anisotropy and the bulk exchange of both layers, as well as the exchange coupling strength and the thickness of the ferromagnetic layer play an important role for its reversibility.
Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spin pumping is a rapidly growing field which has demonstrated promising results in a variety of material systems. This technique utilizes the resonant precession of magnetization in a ferromagnet to inject spin into an
adjacent non-magnetic material. Spin pumping into graphene is attractive on account of its exceptional spin transport properties. This article reports on FMR characterization of cobalt grown on CVD graphene and examines the validity of linewidth broadening as an indicator of spin pumping. In comparison to cobalt samples without graphene, direct contact cobalt-on-graphene exhibits increased FMR linewidth--an often used signature of spin pumping. Similar results are obtained in Co/MgO/graphene structures, where a 1nm MgO layer acts as a tunnel barrier. However, SQUID, MFM, and Kerr microscopy measurements demonstrate increased magnetic disorder in cobalt grown on graphene, perhaps due to changes in the growth process and an increase in defects. This magnetic disorder may account for the observed linewidth enhancement due to effects such as two-magnon scattering or mosaicity. As such, it is not possible to conclude successful spin injection into graphene from FMR linewidth measurements alone.
We provide a model for the prediction of the electronic and magnetic configurations of ferromagnetic Fe after an ultrafast decrease or increase of magnetization. The model is based on the well-grounded assumption that, after the ultrafast magnetizati
on change, the system achieves a partial thermal equilibrium. With statistical arguments it is possible to show that the magnetic configurations are qualitatively different in the case of reduced or increased magnetization. The predicted magnetic configurations are then used to compute the dielectric response at the 3p (M) absorption edge, which can be related to the changes observed in the experimental T-MOKE data. The good qualitative agreement between theory and experiment offers a substantial support to the existence of an ultrafast increase of magnetisation, which has been fiercely debated in the last years.
