Dynamics of ferromagnetic nanomagnets with vortex or single-domain configuration — •Rainer Höllinger, Andreas Killinger, and Uwe Krey — Inst. Physik II, Univ. Regensburg

We study the dynamics of flat circular permalloy (Py) nanomagnets for 1.) magnetic vortex and 2.) single-domain configurations, using micromagnetic simulation.

Ad 1.): Dynamical studies for isolated vortex structures show that both the vorticity, and the polarity of the out-of-plane component can be switched fast (50-100 ps). However, the stability and dynamics of arrays of such nanostructures may differ from the behaviour of the single unit.

Ad 2.): Micromagnetic simulations of the switching process in thin cylindrical Py nanoparticles with an initial stable single-domain state show nearly homogeneous single-domain behaviour followed by excitation of spin waves.
