Switching vortex chirality in magnetostatically coupled permalloy nanodisks
Balajka, Jan ; Nebojsa, Alois (referee) ; Urbánek, Michal (advisor)
The diploma thesis is concerned with switching of vortex circulation in magnetic nanodisks. The results of micromagnetic simulations of hysteresis loops of individual disks with different degrees of asymmetry are presented. The influence of geometric asymmetry of the disk on the shape of the hysteresis loop is discussed as well as switching of vortex circulation in asymmetric nanodisks by external in-plane magnetic field. Simulations of pairs of magnetostatically coupled nanodisks were carried out for different interdisk distances and degrees of asymmetry. By analysing the results of the simulations, the effects of magnetostatic coupling and the asymmetry on resultant circulation of individual vortices were compared and the range of magnetostatic interaction between nanodisks of given dimensions and asymmetry was estimated. Experimental techniques used for fabrication and measurement of the samples are briefly summarized.

Dispersion relation of magnonic crystals with nontrivial spatial distribution of magnetic anisotropy
Wojewoda, Ondřej ; Hamrle,, Jaroslav (referee) ; Flajšman, Lukáš (advisor)
Magnonics is a novel field of research dealing with the physics of spin waves, which are collective excitations of a magnetization. Magnonic crystals, the basic building blocks of magnonic circuits, allow extended control over the spin-wave dispersion. The periodic structure of magnonic crystals results in the formation of a complex band structure with a gap of forbidden frequencies. Periodic structures are conventionally prepared by a local modulation of material thickness or by a step change of saturation magnetization. The presented work deals with the theoretical verification of dispersion relations of magnonic crystals, where the periodicity of the system is achieved by the modulation of the direction of uniaxial magnetic anisotropy and by continuous change of saturation magnetization. For a better insight into the propagation of spin waves in a material with non-homogeneous magnetic properties, a theory describing the refraction and reflection of spin waves at the interface is presented and further verified by numerical simulations.
