Increasing power of generator on nonlinear magnetic nanostructure

Abstract

Background: One of the most promising areas of development of modern electronics is the creation of spintronic devices, which should replace the traditional semiconductor elements. The use of electron spin as a carrier of information in magnetic nanostructures can radically change modern life. Objectives: The aim of this work is to find ways to increase the power of the generator on the magnetic nanostructure by changing its electrical circuit and more optimal external electromagnetic parameters that affect the state of electrons in the studied layered structure. Materials and methods: The solution of this problem is carried out by numerical simulation of the magnetic nanostructure using a specially created micromagnetic simulator, which implements an algorithm for the simultaneous solution of the system of Maxwell and Landau-Lifshitz-Hilbert equations. The solution of such a complex problem is accelerated by the use of a quasi-static approximation in solving the system of Maxwell's equations, which is justified by the small size of the calculation area compared to the depth of the skin layer. Further calculations of the electrodynamic system are performed using the finite element method. To obtain the best frequency and energy parameters of the generator, it is proposed to introduce a resonant circuit to the schematic diagram of the studied generator, which is excited by short nanosecond pulses. Results: A scheme of a generator on a magnetic nanostructure containing a resonator with concentrated parameters is proposed, and a system of nonlinear integro-differential equations with respect to electric currents is obtained in general. Numerical calculation of this system includes, in addition to the calculation of the scheme, also the modeling of a nonlinear electrodynamic structure by the finite element method. The energy and spectral characteristics of the studied generator are obtained. The search for the optimal values of the geometric parameters of the nanostructure and the magnitude of the external longitudinal magnetization is carried out. Conclusions: Due to the complex nature of nonlinear processes in the magnetic nanostructure, the use of an external resonator, which could improve the spectral parameters of the generated current, did not give a noticeable improvement. The influence of the value of the external magnetization on the output power of the generator is complex and nonlinear, but, in general, a decrease in the level of magnetization leads to a significant decrease in power. It is established that the thickness of the magnetic layer of 6 nm is optimal for improving the energy characteristics of the generator.
