Temperature dependent fast switching of magnetic nanoparticles — •Alexander Sukhov^1,2 and Jamal Berakdar² — ¹Max-Planck-Institut für Mikrostrukturphysik, Weinberg 2, D-06120 Halle/Saale, Deutschland — ²Institut für Physik, Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, Heinrich-Damerow-Straße 4, D-06120 Halle/Saale, Deutschland

We study the temperature-dependent spin dynamics of single-domain magnetic nanoparticles in the presence of a time-dependent magnetic field [1, 2] and/or spin-polarized currents [3, 4]. Our aim is to determine the conditions under which a fast magnetization switching is achievable with weak external drivings. Our work is based on the numerical and analytical solutions of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation with temperature effects being implemented on the level of the Langevin dynamics.
