Competing Interactions in Patterned and Self-Assembled Magnetic Nanostructures

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Magnetic Nanostructures

Part of the book series: Springer Tracts in Modern Physics ((STMP,volume 246))

Abstract

In this chapter we describe the static properties of different nanomagnetic systems, which have one thread in common: they consist of arrays of structures each containing a macrospin or a magnetic dipole interacting with its neighbors. We start with a general overview on rectangular and circular islands, their domain structures and interactions. In the second part we discuss the competing interactions and geometric frustration of magnetic dipoles arranged on square and honeycomb lattices, a new field that has become known as artificial spin-ice. The third part covers a technologically very important aspect of densely packed magnetic nanostructures with perpendicular anisotropy for use in hard disk drives in the form of bit patterned media. Here the interaction with neighboring islands may increase or decrease the switching field of an individual target island in the patterned array. The fourth part discusses magnetic clusters, which are arranged by self-organization rather than by lithography, providing further possibilities for investigating magnetic ordering and phase transitions.
