Study of dipolar interaction between nano-disks

ORAL

Abstract

Ferromagnetic nano-dot arrays are interesting for data storage applications, but as the density of disks becomes high the dipolar interactions between disks become strong. In this work we study lithographically prepared arrays of densely packed single domain perm-alloy nano-disks where the dipolar correlations are significant. We study the collective magnetic array properties for different array geometries and varying disk separation and explore the effect of magnetic frustration in these systems.
