Ferromagnetic resonance of coupled shifted chains of nano-elements

Abstract

We investigate the FMR characteristics of a magnetic dimer composed of two chains of iron nanoparticles coupled by dipolar interactions. The latter are treated beyond the point-dipole approximation taking into account the finite size and arbitrary shape of the nano-elements. The resonance frequency is calculated as a function of the amplitude of the applied magnetic field and the resonance field is computed as a function of the direction of the applied field, varied both in the plane of the two chains and perpendicular to it. We highlight a critical value of the magnetic field which marks a state transition that should be important in magnetic recording media.
