Origin of four-fold anisotropy in square lattices of circular ferromagnetic dots
We discuss the four-fold anisotropy of in-plane ferromagnetic resonance (FMR)
field , found in a square lattice of circular Permalloy dots when the
interdot distance gets comparable to the dot diameter . The minimum
, along the lattice axes,
differ by 50 Oe at = 1.1. This anisotropy, not expected in
uniformly magnetized dots, is explained by a non-uniform magnetization
\bm(\br) in a dot in response to dipolar forces in the patterned magnetic
structure. It is well described by an iterative solution of a continuous
variational procedure.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, revtex, details of analytic calculation and new
