AbstractGlobal Helium ion irradiation can tune the magnetic properties of thin films, notably their magneto-crystalline anisotropy. Helium ion irradiation through nanofabricated masks can been used to produce sub-micron planar magnetic nanostructures of various types. Among these, perpendicularly magnetized dots in a matrix of weaker magnetic anisotropy are of special interest because their quasi-static magnetization reversal is nucleation-free and proceeds by a very specific domain wall injection from the magnetically “soft” matrix, which acts as a domain wall reservoir for the “hard” dot. This guarantees a remarkably weak coercivity dispersion. This new type of irradiation-fabricated magnetic device can also be designed to achieve high magnetic switching speeds, typically below 100 ps at a moderate applied field cost. The speed is obtained through the use of a very high effective magnetic field, and high resulting precession frequencies. During magnetization reversal, the effective field incorporates a significant exchange field, storing energy in the form of a domain wall surrounding a high magnetic anisotropy nanostructure's region of interest. The exchange field accelerates the reversal and lowers the cost in reversal field. Promising applications to magnetic storage are anticipated.

We have studied effect of current annealing on domain wall dynamics of FeCoMoB microwires. It was showed that 10 minutes of current annealing corresponds to 1 hour of classical annealing in furnace. Moreover, electrical current flowing through microwire produces Oersted magnetic field and therefore circular magnetic anisotropy is induced during annealing. As a result, induced circular magnetic anisotropy prefers vortex domain wall with velocities up to 3 km/s that can be observed in the current annealed nanocrystalline FeCoMoB microwires with much higher temperature stability.
