Abstract
Magnetization reversal behavior is examined under various nonuniform fields, the conditions of which are relevant to magnetic random access memory applications. During the magnetization reversal, the end domains play a key role at a uniform field, but they play a negligible role at a nonuniform field. Instead, a ripple pattern is initially formed in the interior and it progresses to form a vortex, resulting in a reversed domain. The switching field is found to be greater in the case of a nonuniform field, but, under a bias field, it is reduced greatly to a level similar to that for a uniform field. This result may indicate a wide window for the bit selectivity under a nonuniform field in magnetic random access memory applications. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
