In this study, we investigate the magnetic properties of interconnected permalloy nanowire networks using micromagnetic simulations. The effects of interconnectivity on the hysteresis curves, coercivity, and remanence of the nanowire networks are analyzed. Our results reveal intriguing characteristics of the hysteresis curves, including nonmonotonic behaviors of coercivity as a function of the position of horizontal nanowires relative to vertical nanowires. By introducing horizontal nanowires at specific positions, the coercivity of the nanowire networks can be enhanced without altering the material composition. The normalized remanence remains relatively constant regardless of the position of the horizontal wires, although it is lower in the interconnected nanowire arrays compared to nonconnected arrays. These findings provide valuable insights into the design and optimization of nanowire networks for applications requiring tailored magnetic properties.

Three dimensional magnetic textures are a cornerstone in magnetism research. In this work, we analyze the stabilization and dynamic response of a magnetic hopfion hosted in a toroidal nanoring with intrinsic Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction simulating FeGe. Our results evidence that unlike their planar counterparts, where perpendicular magnetic anisotropies are necessary to stabilize hopfions, the shape anisotropy originated on the torus symmetry naturally yields the nucleation of these topological textures. We also analyze the magnetization dynamical response by applying a magnetic field pulse to differentiate among several magnetic patterns. Finally, to understand the nature of spin wave modes, we analyze the spatial distributions of the resonant mode amplitudes and phases and describe the differences among bulk and surface modes. Importantly, hopfions lying in toroidal nanorings present a non-circularly symmetric poloidal resonant mode, which is not observed in other systems hosting hopfions.

This work analyzes the magnetic configurations of cylindrical nanowires with a bulk Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction and easy-plane anisotropy. We show that this system allows the nucleation of a metastable toron chain even when no out-of-plane anisotropy exists in the nanowire’s top and bottom surfaces, as usually required. The number of nucleated torons depends on the nanowire length and the strength of an external magnetic field applied to the system. The size of each toron depends on the fundamental magnetic interactions and can be controlled by external stimuli, allowing the use of these magnetic textures as information carriers or nano-oscillator elements. Our results evidence that the topology and structure of the torons yield a wide variety of behaviors, revealing the complex nature of these topological textures, which should present an exciting interaction dynamic, depending on the initial conditions.

We study the dynamic susceptibility of skyrmion clusters in Co/Pt nanodots using micromagnetic simulations. For this, we investigate the dynamic response of the skyrmions to a small magnetic field pulse applied parallel to the dot axis. Skyrmions exhibit a main resonance peak associated with the skyrmions' breathing mode, which is closely linked to the average radius of the skyrmions. Furthermore, we find that non-trivial secondary modes appear when the cluster size increases. These results can be used as a detection and characterization mechanism for skyrmion lattices in confined systems.

Distinct magnetic states arise from shape and magnetocrystalline anisotropies, influencing resonant mode types. Nanowires with flower-type states show edge and fundamental modes, while those with vortex states exhibit azimuthal and gyrotropic modes.

In this study, we investigate the pseudo-static magnetic properties of Permalloy conical frustum nanowires using micromagnetic simulations. We thoroughly examine how both the major and minor radii influence the magnetic reversal mechanism when an external magnetic field is applied parallel to the nanowire axis. The obtained results show that under specific geometrical conditions, magnetization reverts though a Bloch point-type domain wall. In these cases, hysteresis curves exhibit two Barkhausen jumps during magnetization reversal, forming a plateau field range in which a Bloch point domain wall nucleates and propagates until its annihilation after the second Barkhausen jump. The nucleation of a Bloch point domain wall in a frustum conical nanowire geometry is reported. These findings highlight the significance of this geometry in nucleating these attractive topological defects for promising applications.
