AbstractThe strength of the interlayer exchange coupling in [Fe/MgO]$$_N$$ N (001) superlattices with 2 ≤ N ≤ 10 depends on the number of bilayer repeats (N). The exchange coupling is antiferromagnetic for all the investigated thicknesses while being nine times larger in a sample with N = 4 as compared to N = 2. The sequence of the magnetic switching in two of the samples (N = 4, N = 8) is determined using polarized neutron reflectometry. The outermost layers are shown to respond at the lowest fields, consistent with having the weakest interlayer exchange coupling. The results are consistent with the existence of quantum well states defined by the thickness of the Fe and the MgO layers as well as the number of repeats (N) in [Fe/MgO]$$ _{N}$$ N (001)superlattices.

The ground state magnetization of nanowires built of ferromagnetic crystallites is considered taking into account the magnetostatic interaction. The criterion of formation of domains is found. The thickness of a domain wall is calculated analytically and the results are compared with the numerical simulations. We show that when the exchange coupling between crystallites is absent its role is played by magnetostatics that ensures the existence of stable domain structure. The direction of the induced anisotropy axis is shown to be determined by the shape of crystallites.

Novel methods of switching magnetism with electric fields and vice versa, and aiming at magnetoelectric (ME) data processing are reported. First, the patented MERAM@ uses the electric field control of exchange bias via an epitaxial Cr2O3 layer and exchange coupling to a Pt/Co/Pt trilayer. It promises to crucially reduce Joule energy losses in RAM devices. Second, magnetic switching of the electric polarization by a transverse magnetic field in a 3-1 composite of a vertically poled BaTiO3 thick film embedding CoFe2O4 nanopillars produces a regular surface polarization pattern with rectangular symmetry. Its possible use for data processing is discussed.
