Abstract
The magnetic properties of nanodisks packed into square arrays with various numbers of elements in the face have been studied. It has been shown that the vortex nucleation field oscillates with increasing number of nanodisks; the oscillation behavior depends on the nanodisk thickness. The synchronism of the vortex state formation varies with increasing number of nanodisks. The effect of the magnetostatic interaction of nanodisks on the critical fields of magnetization reversal has been estimated for the cases of vortex and single-domain states.
