Magnetic Reversal in Nanoscopic Ferromagnetic Rings
We present a theory of magnetization reversal due to thermal fluctuations in
thin submicron-scale rings composed of soft magnetic materials. The
magnetization in such geometries is more stable against reversal than that in
thin needles and other geometries, where sharp ends or edges can initiate
nucleation of a reversed state. The 2D ring geometry also allows us to evaluate
the effects of nonlocal magnetostatic forces. We find a `phase transition',
which should be experimentally observable, between an Arrhenius and a
non-Arrhenius activation regime as magnetic field is varied in a ring of fixed
size.Comment: RevTeX, 23 pages, 7 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev.
