Abstract

New magnetic behavior of a 3D magnetic lattice created by stacking hour-glass structures over a 2D antidot matrix is reported. The unique multivortices induced reversal process along the hard axis is reported for the 3D magnetic lattice. Further analysis with 3D Object Orientated MicroMagnetic Framework (OOMMF) simulation shows this magnetic behavior due to the magnetic coupling between the two building blocks: hour-glass structures and 2D antidot. The reversal process for the 3D magnetic lattice along the easy axis shows abrupt coherent switching behavior, while the multivortices induced reversal process is observed for the hard axis. A new method of comparing the simulation and experimental result using a MATLAB divergence computation software is also reported. Good agreement between micromagnetic simulation and experimental results is observed via this method.
