Propagation of solitons of the magnetization in magnetic nanoparticle arrays

Abstract

It is clarified for the first time that solitons originating from the dipolar interaction in ferromagnetic nanoparticle arrays are stably created. The characteristics can be well controlled by the strength of the dipolar interaction between particles and the shape anisotropy of the particle. The soliton can propagate from a particle to a neighbor particle at a clock frequency even faster than 100 GHz using materials with a large magnetization. Such arrays of nanoparticles might be feasible in an application such as a signal transmission line.
