  • Abstract
    In this paper, we study the magnetization reversal process of single-domain Stoner-Wohlfarth particles subject to circularly polarized fields and short pulses using analytical and numerical models. We investigate the effect of short unipolar, bipolar field, and circularly polarized field pulses, which are applied perpendicular to the uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy axis, on the magnetization switching dynamics.
