Theoretical Analysis of Inertia-like Switching in Magnets: Applications to a Synthetic Antiferromagnet
The magnetization dynamics of a synthetic antiferromagnet subjected to a short-magnetic-field pulse has been studied by using a combination of first principles calculations and atomistic spin-dynamics simulations. We observe switching phenomena on the time scale of tens of picoseconds, and inertia-l...
