Abstract :
In this paper, we point out how the magnetization switching depends on the nanostructure geometry and material parameters. The micromagnetic study is carried out on multilayer nanodevices of Permalloy (Py)/CU/Py and Co/Cu/Cu with different cross section. Results show that the switching time is strongly dependent on the magnetization saturation of the material
