Complex field reversal dynamics in nanomagnetic systems

Abstract
Nanomagnetic materials, built from thin, patterned films of ferromagnetic materials, began as analogues to frustrated magnetism. Their low energy of operation and emergent properties make them strong candidates for physics based devices. A recent model of how nanomagnetic domains flip, the Glauber mean-field model, is used here to understand how systems of nanomagnets evolve when opposed by external field. This reversal can be expressed in an analytical form in the case of one-dimensional chains and trees at zero temperature, where the cascade of spin flips gives rise to harmonic power spectra. The same cascades in two and three dimensions form fractal field reversal clusters whose shape depends on the strength of the field and the tuning of interactions between nanomagnets.
