Abstract
The magnetic structure of a plane nanobridge consisting of two ferromagnetic film electrodes connected by a nanosized crossbar of the same material is studied. Due to their magnetoresistive properties, such bridges are of considerable interest for microelectronics. Using a numerical micromagnetics method, it is shown that a domain wall is displaced from the center of the bridge crossbar as the anisotropy constant of the system decreases and reaches a critical value. A phase diagram is constructed, which makes it possible to determine the possible magnetic states of real nanobridges. The mechanism of the phase transformation is described in terms of an analytical model. This model explains the shape of the phase diagram of the nanobridge. Formally, the transformations of the magnetic structure of the nanocontact can be described in terms of the Landau theory of phase transitions in a certain range of parameters of the system.
