Micromagnetics of chemical modulations in cylindrical nanowires (February 09th, 2023)
We combined chemical synthesis, magnetic microscopy and micromagnetic simulations to provide a comprehensive view of the micromagnetics of chemical modulations in cylindrical nanowires. This sets the ground for their use to investigate the specific aspects of domain-wall dynamics and spin waves in a curvilinear system. Curvilinear and three-dimensional magnetism are a fast-developing field, considering […]

Magnetic skyrmions are appealing for use in logic and memory devices combining small size and fast motion. Here, we propose to exploit skyrmion interactions to perform both logic and memory operations at the nanoscale. Our concept opens a path for novel devices which intrinsically merge high-density non-volatile data storage with computing capabilities. a. Schematic representation […]
