Patent number: 7952915Abstract: A novel element capable of simply controlling an in-plane rotational motion of a core (a rising spot of a magnetization) generated in the center of a ferromagnetic dot made by forming a ferromagnetic material into a nanosized disk shape is provided. In addition, a binary information memory element using a core, including a ferromagnetic dot, made of a disk-shaped ferromagnetic material, with a magnetic structure of a magnetic vortex structure, and a current supplier for supplying an alternating current with a predetermined alternating current in the radial direction of the ferromagnetic dot is provided. In the case where the frequency of the current resonates with the intrinsic frequency of the ferromagnetic dot, it is possible to rotate the core in the plane of the dot. Since the core leaks a magnetic field, a microscopic actuator such as a motor can be obtained by using this element. Furthermore, supplying a current having a density not less than a predetermined value reverses the core.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2007Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignees: Kyoto University, The University of Electro-Communications, Osaka University, Tokyo Metropolitan UniversityInventors: Teruo Ono, Shinya Kasai, Kensuke Kobayashi, Yoshinobu Nakatani, Hiroshi Kohno, Gen Tatara
