Interacting circular nanomagnets
Regular 2D rectangular lattices of permalloy nanoparticles (40 nm in
diameter) were prepared by the method of the electron lithography. The
magnetization curves were studied by Hall magnetometry with the compensation
technique for different external field orientations at 4.2K and 77K. The shape
of hysteresis curves indicates that there is magnetostatic interaction between
the particles. The main peculiarity is the existence of remanent magnetization
perpendicular to easy plain. By numerical simulation it is shown, that the
character of the magnetization reversal is a result of the interplay of the
interparticle interaction and the magnetization distribution within the
particles (vortex or uniform).Comment: 16 pages, 8 figure
