Microscopic mechanisms of magnetization reversal
Two principal scenarios of magnetization reversal are considered. In the
first scenario all spins perform coherent motion and an excess of magnetic
energy directly goes to a nonmagnetic thermal bath. A general dynamic equation
is derived which includes a tensor damping term similar to the
Bloch-Bloembergen form but the magnetization magnitude remains constant for any
deviation from equilibrium. In the second reversal scenario, the absolute value
of the averaged sample magnetization is decreased by a rapid excitation of
nonlinear spin-wave resonances by uniform magnetization precession. We have
developed an analytic k-space micromagnetic approach that describes this entire
reversal process in an ultra-thin soft ferromagnetic film for up to 90^{o}
deviation from equilibrium. Conditions for the occurrence of the two scenarios
are discussed
Possibility of Geometric Description of Quasiparticles in Solids
New phenomenological approach for the description of elementary collective
excitations is proposed. The crystal is considered to be an anisotropic
space-time vacuum with a prescribed metric tensor in which the information on
electromagnetic crystalline fields is included. The quasiparticles in this
space are supposed to be described by the equations structurally similar to the
relativistic wave equations for particles in empty space. The generalized
Klein-Gordon-Fock equation and the generalized Dirac equation in external
electromagnetic field are considered. The applicability of the proposed
approach to the case of conduction electron in a crystal is discussed.Comment: 17 pages, latex; to appear in Int. Jnl. Mod. Phy
Decay Properties Of The Dipole Isobaric Analog Resonances
A continuum-RPA-based approach is applied to describe the decay properties of
isolated dipole isobaric analog resonances in nuclei having not-too-large
neutron excess. Calculated for a few resonances in 90Zr the elastic
E1-radiative width and partial proton widths for decay into one-hole states of
89Y are compared with available experimental data.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, prepared with RevTe
Impurity relaxation mechanism for dynamic magnetization reversal in a single domain grain
The interaction of coherent magnetization rotation with a system of two-level
impurities is studied. Two different, but not contradictory mechanisms, the
`slow-relaxing ion' and the `fast-relaxing ion' are utilized to derive a system
of integro-differential equations for the magnetization. In the case that the
impurity relaxation rate is much greater than the magnetization precession
frequency, these equations can be written in the form of the Landau-Lifshitz
equation with damping. Thus the damping parameter can be directly calculated
from these microscopic impurity relaxation processes
Fluctuation-dissipation considerations and damping models for ferromagnetic materials
The role of fluctuation-dissipation relations (theorems) for the
magnetization dynamics with Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert and Bloch-Bloembergen
damping terms are discussed. We demonstrate that the use of the Callen-Welton
fluctuation-dissipation theorem that was proven for Hamiltonian systems can
give an inconsistent result for magnetic systems with dissipation
On Uniqueness of Boundary Blow-up Solutions of a Class of Nonlinear Elliptic Equations
We study boundary blow-up solutions of semilinear elliptic equations
