Popis: Using spin dynamics simulations we study and present a model for pointlike magnetic impurities in nano-magnets based on the exchange coupling between these pointlike impurities and their neighbors. We observed two possible types of impurities, acting as pinning (attractive) or scatter (repulsive) sites. A gaussian profile was observed for the interaction potential energy ranging up to two lattice parameters. Using the known values of the parameters for Permalloy-79 we have calculated the interaction energy of the vortex core with a single defect. We estimated the interaction range as approximately 10 nm . Both results agree quite well with experimental measurements. Also, we study the influence of magnetic impurities in the frequency of the gyrotropic mode in nanodisks of Permalloy-79. We observed fluctuations in the frequency which is in agreement with recent experimental results.
