Popis: We report on a theoretical study of thermal magnetization switching induced by nanosecond electric current pulse using Lagrangian formalism based on the Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert equation. The parameters for modeling are obtained from the measurements of the anomalous Hall resistance at different probe currents. We obtain the switching diagrams, analyze how the switching rate depends on the pulse parameters and the applied magnetic field, and find the optimal set of values such as orientation of the field, electric pulse duration, and energy consumption. We find that the magnetization switching is particularly efficient near the compensation point, where a decrease in the magnetization of the rare-earth sublattices by 10% or less can lead to reversal of net magnetization.
