Abstract

Micromagnetic simulations were performed to investigate the spin dynamics of cylindrical magnetic nanostructures of various sizes down to 20 nm. The presented simulation technique provides information on the equilibrium states, magnetization precession, and spatial distributions of excited spin wave modes of individual nanostructures. Larger cylindrical nanostructures reveal a flower state magnetization configuration and show rather complex edge and center modes, which depend strongly on the saturation magnetization. This behavior allows controlling the precession frequencies, which is important in microwave-assisted three-dimensional magnetic recording, where layers of different resonance frequency need to be addressed and switched individually.
