Nano-rings, with an open aperture in the middle, regularly show flux-closed vortex states without a vortex core, again reducing stray fields. Here we theoretically investigate “Pac-Man” shaped iron nanostructures with varying aperture, i.e. structures ranging from a thin ring to a solid cylinder with a triangular cut. Our results show that in most cases, a vortex-like state without vortex core along the whole nanostructure occurs during magnetization reversal. Depending on the angle of the external magnetic field and the nanostructure thickness, different magnetization reversal processes have been found, including domain wall nucleation and propagation as well as small vortex states with cores. The occurrence of such special magnetic states can be attributed to the interaction of the shape anisotropy with the relatively high magneto-crystalline anisotropy of iron. Our simulations reveal the possibilities to use such structures for data storage applications as well as their importance in basic research, enabling formation of asymmetric magnetic structures beyond common onion and symmetric vortex states.","lang":"eng"}],"status":"public","project":[{"_id":"f89a05bb-bcea-11ed-9442-ed382659bc06","name":"Bielefelder Institut für Angewandte Materialforschung"}],"doi":"10.1016/j.jmmm.2021.168205","citation":{"short":"F.-Z.

Here we investigate the influence of well-defined angular-dependent roughness of the edges, created by building the nanoparticles from small cubes, on the resulting hysteresis loops and magnetization reversal processes in five different round nanodots with varying open areas, from a thin ring to a closed nanodot. By varying the orientation of the external magnetic field, the impact of the angle-dependent roughness can be estimated.

While the influence of bending radii on the magnetization reversal in such nanofibers was already discussed in the literature, the often occurring beads along the fibers have not yet been investigated in detail. It can be assumed that such beads will support domain wall formation due to a reduction of the relative impact of the shape anisotropy, in this way influencing magnetization reversal along the fiber. Here, we simulate magnetization reversal processes in iron, nickel, cobalt and magnetite fibers with a bead in the middle, produced in three typical dimensions gained by electrospinning. In most cases a vortex state occurs during magnetization reversal, independent from the material and the dimensions. For some angular orientations of the external magnetic field, double-vortex or meander states are visible, usually also followed by vortex states. These simulations underline the strong and highly reliable impact of beads along electrospun fibers, making these structures useful for data storage, transport and other applications.","lang":"eng"}],"status":"public","publication_status":"published","_id":"1616","title":"Systematic study of magnetization reversal in beaded fibers from different magnetic materials","date_created":"2022-01-01T14:27:47Z","publication":"Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials","user_id":"223776","volume":529,"publisher":"Elsevier BV","article_type":"original","date_updated":"2022-01-01T15:01:28Z","main_file_link":[{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmmm.2021.167855","open_access":"1"}],"intvolume":" 529","keyword":["Magnetic nanostructures Micromagnetic simulation Magnetization reversal Iron Nickel Cobalt Magnetite Vortex state Domain walls Shape anisotropy"],"year":"2021","quality_controlled":"1","oa":"1","type":"journal_article"},{"user_id":"237837","publication":"Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials","volume":514,"article_type":"original","date_updated":"2021-05-21T07:09:59Z","keyword":["Magnetic nanostructures","Wedges","Micromagnetic simulation","Vortex","Magnetization reversal","Iron","Permalloy","Lithography"],"year":"2020","intvolume":" 514","type":"journal_article","quality_controlled":"1","department":[{"_id":"103"}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0304-8853"]},"author":[{"first_name":"Devika","full_name":"Sudsom, Devika","last_name":"Sudsom"},{"first_name":"Tomasz","full_name":"Blachowicz, Tomasz","last_name":"Blachowicz"},{"last_name":"Hahn","full_name":"Hahn, Lothar","first_name":"Lothar"},{"last_name":"Ehrmann","full_name":"Ehrmann, Andrea","first_name":"Andrea","orcid":"0000-0003-0695-3905","id":"223776"}],"article_number":"167294","citation":{"short":"D.
