Micromagnetic simulation of static magnetic properties and tuning of anisotropy strength in two dimensional square antidot elements

摘要

We demonstrate the tailoring of anisotropy in magnetic nano-wire element using finite element method based micromagnetic simulation. We calculate the magentostatic properties for the structure by simulating hysteresis for these nano wire elements. The angular variation of remanence for the structures of different dimensions is used as the depiction to establish fourfold magnetic anisotropy. The change of anisotropy strength, which is the ratio of squareness of hysteresis loop in hard axis to easy axis, is demonstrated in this study which is one of the most important parameters to utilize these nanowire elements in multi state magnetic memory application.
