RESUMEN
It is shown that the interplay between curvature and interfacial Dzyalonshinsky-Moriya interaction (DMI) is a pathway to ultrafast domain wall (DW) dynamics in ferromagnetic nanotubes. In this work, we theoretically study the effect that interfacial DMI has on the average velocity of a vortex DW in thin ferromagnetic nanotubes grown around a core composed of heavy atoms. Our main result shows that by delaying the Walker breakdown instability, the DW average velocity is of the order of 103 m s-1, which is greater than usual values for these systems. The remarkable velocities achieved through this configuration could greatly benefit the development of spintronic devices.
RESUMEN
An array of spin torque nano-oscillators (STNOs), coupled by dipolar interaction and arranged on a ring, has been studied numerically and analytically. The phase patterns and locking ranges are extracted as a function of the number N, their separation, and the current density mismatch between selected subgroups of STNOs. If [Formula: see text] for identical current densities through all STNOs, two degenerated modes are identified an in-phase mode (all STNOs have the same phase) and a splay mode (the phase makes a 2[Formula: see text] turn along the ring). When inducing a current density mismatch between two subgroups, additional phase shifts occur. The locking range (maximum current density mismatch) of the in-phase mode is larger than the one for the splay mode and depends on the number N of STNOs on the ring as well as on the separation. These results can be used for the development of magnetic devices that are based on STNO arrays.
RESUMEN
A detailed analytic and numerical analysis of the interaction between two bubble skyrmions has been carried out. The results from the micromagnetic calculations show that when the skyrmions are in the same plane, the magnetic parameters vary weakly as a function of the separation between them. On the other hand, when the skyrmions are located in the same vertical axis, the magnetic parameters show a strong variation as a function of the separation of the skyrmions. In particular, when a magnetic disk is over another, there is a transition from a Bloch-like skyrmion configuration to a Néel-like skyrmion configuration as the distance between the disks decreases, as a consequence of the magnetostatic interaction. Therefore, it is possible to stabilize a bubble skyrmion with a Néel configuration without the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Thus, these results can be used for the control of the skyrmion parameters in magnetic spintronic devices that need to use these configurations.
RESUMEN
The magnetization dynamics of nano-oscillators may be excited by both magnetic fields and spin-polarized currents. While the dynamics of single oscillators has been well characterized, the synchronization of several ones is not fully understood yet. An analytical and numerical study of the nonlinear dynamics of two magnetostatically coupled spin valves driven by spin-transfer torques is presented under the macrospin approximation. The oscillators interact via magnetostatic fields and exhibit a robust synchronized magnetization motion. We describe the magnetization dynamics of the system using the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert-Slonczewski equation. Using a modal decomposition technique, we describe the dynamics, synchronization, and competition of oscillatory modes as a function of the current density, and the geometrical parameters of the setup. Simulations of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert-Slonczewski equation show good agreement with an approximate analytic solution.
