Abstract

Magnetic properties at nano-scale provide a whole spectrum of new phenomena that can be beneficial for spintronic devices characterized with ultra-short response time, high sensitivity to magnetic field and miniature size. The properties and stability of a magnetic system can be enhanced by creating ordered arrays of ferromagnetic nano-particles. Here we report a considerable reduction of coercitivity for a magnetic array using triangular, square and hexagonal particle arrangement. The reduction of coercitivity can be explained by fine-tuning of dipole-dipole interaction between magnetic particles, which is to large degree influenced by the number of nearest neighbors and distance between the particles.
