Micromagnetic simulations of artificial spin Ice structures and transport distributors with applications to data storage

Magnetically connected and disconnected structures were simulated for ASI while remaining electronically connected for a single vertex kagome design. With the simulations being ran with both current perpendicular to the applied field and parallel to the applied field, the resulting M vs R graphs were compared along with a comparison for the delta R value as the magnetic domains of the structure rotated to align with the applied magnetic fields.

A larger structure of the ASI was simulated, with multiple vortexes magnetically and electronically connected in both perpendicular and parallel magnetic field to current and the results were analyzed. Several structures for the potential distribution of magnetic beads were developed and simulated with a rotating magnetic field. These works develop on the concept of the functionality of the ASI structure and the possible structures for distribution of data via transport.<br><br>
