Abstract
A temperature-dependent micromagnetic study has been conducted to examine the spin dynamics of the perpendicularly magnetized nanodot in a thermally induced magnetic switching (TIMS) scheme. The magnetic
parameters used in this study represent the properties of BaFe. The impact of writing-temperatures below the Curie point on the magnetization reversal characteristic of nanodot with three damping levels, which related to
the minimum writing-field as well as the zero-field-switching probability, were discussed systematically. The spins configuration of the nanodot was also presented to visualize the modes of the magnetization switching.
The simulation reveals that the writing-field decreases concerning with the writing-temperature and reaches its lowest value at the temperature of 0.4 % below its Curie point. During the heating phase, the mechanism of
demagnetization is coupled with the writing-temperature. Meanwhile, the magnetic damping takes over the role in the magnetic switching mechanism during the freezing.
