Micromagnetic Study of the Dependence of Output Voltages and Magnetization Behaviors on Damping Constant, Frequency, and Wire Length for a Gigahertz Spin Rotation Sensor

Abstract

In this report, we studied the dependence of output voltage on the damping constant, the frequency of the pulse current, and the wire length of zero-magnetostriction CoFeBSi wires using multiphysics simulation considering eddy currents in micromagnetic simulations. The magnetization reversal mechanism in the wires was also investigated. As a result, we found that a high output voltage can be achieved with a damping constant of ≥0.03. We also found that the output voltage increases up to a pulse current of 3 GHz. The longer the wire length, the lower the external magnetic field at which the output voltage peaks. This is because the demagnetization field from the axial ends of the wire is weaker as the wire length is longer.
