Abstract

Recently it has been demonstrated that the cosine chirp microwave pulse (CCMP) is capable of achieving fast and energy-efficient magnetization-reversal of a nanoparticle with zero-Temperature. However, we investigate the finite temperature, TT effect on the CCMP-driven magnetization reversal using the framework of the stochastic Landau Lifshitz Gilbert equation. At finite Temperature, we obtain the CCMP-driven fast and energy-efficient reversal and hence estimate the maximal temperature, TmaxT_{max} at which the magnetization reversal is valid. TmaxT_{max} increases with increasing the nanoparticle cross-sectional area/shape anisotropy up to a certain value, and afterward TmaxT_{max} decreases with the further increment of nanoparticle cross-sectional area/shape anisotropy. This is because of demagnetization/shape anisotropy field opposes the magnetocrystalline anisotropy, i.e., reduces the energy barrier which separates the two stable states. For smaller cross-sectional area/shape anisotropy, the controlling parameters of CCMP show decreasing trend with temperature. We also find that with the increment easy-plane shape-anisotropy, the required initial frequency of CCMP significantly reduces. For the larger volume of nanoparticles, the parameters of CCMP remains constant for a wide range of temperature which are desired for the device application. Therefore, The above findings might be useful to realize the CCMP-driven fast and energy-efficient magnetization reversal in realistic conditions.
