Magnetic vortex-antivortex annihilation can lead to homogeneous magnetization. Simulations reveal two pathways: continuous transformation or Bloch point propagation, generating spin waves for controlled applications.

Area of Science:

  • Condensed matter physics
  • Materials science

Background:

  • Magnetic vortices and antivortices are topological spin textures.
  • Their annihilation results in a homogeneous magnetic state.
  • Understanding annihilation dynamics is crucial for spintronic applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the magnetization dynamics during magnetic vortex-antivortex annihilation.
  • To investigate the influence of relative polarization on annihilation pathways.
  • To explore the generation of spin waves during annihilation.

Main Methods:

  • Micromagnetic simulations using the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation.
  • Analysis of magnetization dynamics and spin wave emission.

Main Results:
