Abstract

We systematically investigated spin wave-assisted magnetization switching (SWAS) of a L10-FePt/Ni81Fe19 (permalloy; Py) exchange-coupled bilayer by using a pulse-like rf field (hrf) and mapped the switching events in the magnetic field (H)–hrf frequency (f) plane in order to reveal the switching conditions. Switching occurred only in a limited region followed by the dispersion relationship of the perpendicular standing spin wave modes in the Py. The results indicate that SWAS is a resonant magnetization switching process, which is different from the conventional microwave assisted switching and has the potential to be used for selective switching in multilevel recording media.
