摘要
The switching process of granular Co nanowires is investigated using the finite element method. The wires have a diameter of 55 nm and a length of 1000 nm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigations show two different types of hcp-structured grains. For one, the c axis is randomly oriented in a plane perpendicular to the long axis of the wire, and the other has the c axis parallel to the long axis. The numerical results show that finite element micromagnetics can explain the influence of the microstructure in magnetic nanosystems.
