Manipulating the shape of flexible magnetoelastic nanodiscs with meron-like magnetic states

Abstract

The control of the magnetic properties of shapeable devices and the manipulation of flexible structures by external magnetic fields is a keystone of future magnetoelectronics-based devices. This work studies the elastic properties of a magnetoelastic nanodisc that hosts a meron as the magnetic state and can be deformed from structures with positive to negative Gaussian curvature. We show that the winding number of the hosted meron is crucial to determine the curvature sign of the stable obtained shape. Additionally, we show that the optimum curvature reached by the nanodisc depends on geometrical and mechanical parameters. It is shown that an increase in the external radius, thickness, and Young's modulus lead to a decrease in the optimum curvature absolute value. Finally, it is shown that the nanodisc's shape also depends on the connection between the polarity and chirality of the vortex-like meron.
