--- _id: '686' abstract: - lang: eng text: Combining soft and hard magnetic materials is not only of technological importance in diverse spintronics elements, but also of high interest in basic research. Here we report on different arrays combining iron and nickel, e.g. by embedding circular nanodots of one material in a matrix of the other one. Micromagnetic simulations were performed using OOMMF. Our results show that magnetization reversal processes are strongly influenced by neighboring nanodots and the magnetic matrix in which the nanodots are embedded, respectively, which becomes macroscopically visible by several steps along the slopes of the hysteresis loops. Such material combinations allow for preparing quaternary memories and are thus highly relevant for applications in data storage and processing. author: - first_name: Devika full_name: Sudsom, Devika last_name: Sudsom - first_name: Andrea full_name: Ehrmann, Andrea id: '223776' last_name: Ehrmann orcid: 0000-0003-0695-3905 conference: end_date: 30 November 2020 name: 2nd International Online-Conference on Nanomaterials start_date: 15 November 2020 date_created: 2021-01-03T18:02:19Z date_updated: 2021-01-18T15:32:28Z ddc: - '530' department: - _id: '103' file: - access_level: open_access content_type: application/pdf creator: aehrmann date_created: 2021-01-03T18:01:30Z date_updated: 2021-01-03T18:01:30Z file_id: '687' file_name: 2020_Sudsom_Sciforum.pdf file_size: 723721 relation: main_file success: 1 file_date_updated: 2021-01-03T18:01:30Z has_accepted_license: '1' language: - iso: eng oa: '1' publication: 2nd International Online-Conference on Nanomaterials publication_status: published publisher: MDPI quality_controlled: '1' status: public title: ' Micromagnetic simulations of magnetic particles embedded in magnetic or non-magnetic matrices' type: conference user_id: '223776' year: '2020' ...
