摘要
We have computed magnetization reversal with the in-plane magnetic field in asymmetric ring dots that have partly planed outer sides. The direction of the vertical magnetization is controlled between clockwise and counterclockwise by in-plane magnetic fields. The asymmetric ring structure facilitates the application of the ring dots to magnetic random access memories.
