Dynamics and reversible control of the vortex Bloch point domain wall in short cylindrical magnetic nanowires

ORAL

Abstract

Low dissipation switching of nanomagnets is one of the main challenges in the development of future magnetic memories. We numerically investigate the evolution of the static and dynamic spin wave (SW) magnetization in short (50-400 nm length and 120 nm diameter) cylindrical ferromagnetic nanowires, where competing single vortex (SV) and vortex domain wall with a Bloch point (BP-DW) magnetization configurations could be formed. For a limited length range (between 150 and 300 nm) we demonstrate a reversible microwave field induced (forward) and opposite spin currents (backwards) transitions between the topologically different SV and BP states. By tuning the nanowire length, excitation frequency, the microwave pulse duration and the spin current values we show that the optimum (low power) manipulation of the BP-DW could be reached by a microwave excitation tuned to the main SW mode and for nanowire lengths around 230-250 nm, where single vortex domain wall magnetization reversal via nucleation and propagation of SV-DW takes place. An analytical model for dynamics of the Bloch point provides an estimation of the gyrotropic mode frequency close the one obtained via micromagnetic simulations. Our findings open a new pathway for the creation of unforeseen topological magnetic memories.
