Reduction of energy cost of magnetization switching in a biaxial nanoparticle by use of internal dynamics
A solution to energy-efficient magnetization switching in a nanoparticle with
biaxial anisotropy is presented. Optimal control paths minimizing the energy
cost of magnetization reversal are calculated numerically as functions of the
switching time and materials properties, and used to derive energy-efficient
switching pulses of external magnetic field. Hard-axis anisotropy reduces the
minimum energy cost of magnetization switching due to the internal torque in
the desired switching direction. Analytical estimates quantifying this effect
are obtained based on the perturbation theory. The optimal switching time
providing a tradeoff between fast switching and energy efficiency is obtained.
The energy cost of switching and the energy barrier between the stable states
can be controlled independently in a biaxial nanomagnet. This provides a
solution to the dilemma between energy-efficient writability and good thermal
stability of magnetic memory elements.Comment: 13 pages, 10 figure
Crystalline Field Effects on Magnetic and Thermodynamic properties of a Ferrimagnetic Centered Rectangular Structure
The magnetic properties and phase diagrams of the mixed spin Ising model,
with spins S=1 and {\sigma}=1/2 on a centered rectangular structure, have been
investigated using Monte Carlo simulations based on the Metropolis algorithm.
Every spin at one lattice site has four nearest-neighbor spins of the same type
and four of the other type. We have assumed ferromagnetic interaction between
the same spins type, antiferromagnetic for different spin types. An additional
single-site crystal field term on the S=1 site was considered. We have shown
that the crystal field enhances the existence of the compensation behavior of
the system. In addition, the effects of the crystal field and exchange coupling
on the magnetic properties and phase diagrams of the system have been studied.
Finally, the magnetic hysteresis cycles of the system for several values of the
crystal field have been found.Comment: 19 pages, 12 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Optimal Control of Magnetization Reversal in a Monodomain Particle by Means of Applied Magnetic Field
A complete analytical solution to the optimal reversal of a macrospin with
easy-axis anisotropy is presented. Optimal control path minimizing the energy
cost of the reversal is identified and used to derive time-dependent direction
and amplitude of the optimal switching field. The minimum energy cost of the
reversal scales inversely with the switching time for fast switching, follows
an exponential asymptotics for slow switching and reaches the lower limit
proportional to the energy barrier between the target states and to the damping
parameter at infinitely long switching time. For a given switching time, the
energy cost is never smaller than that for a free macrospin. This limitation
can be bypassed by adding a hard anisotropy axis which activates the internal
torque in the desired switching direction, thereby significantly reducing the
energy cost. Comparison between the calculated optimal control path and minimum
energy path reveals that optimal control does not translate to the minimization
of the energy barrier, but signifies effective use of the system's internal
dynamics to aid the desired magnetic transition
