Vortex-crystal pattern in an anti-artificial spin ice system
arXiv:1312.1646 · doi:10.1063/1.4867530
Abstract
We have proposed in this work an original system composed by anti-dots nanopatterned in a ferromagnetic thin film, mimicking negatively the structure of an articial spin ice. In the hysteresis loop we notice the emergency of an anisotropy in the magnetization saturation and in the micromagnetic simulations, in the beginning of the hysteresis loop (relaxation), the formation of a vortex crystal array with vortices in diferent positions possessing random polarization and chirality. The crystal of vortices in this electrically connected sample could be most eficient than those observed in non-connected nanodiscs for current-driven or magnetic vortices switching by electric currents.
