Abstract

The study of small magnetic particles has become a very important topic, in particular for the development of technological devices such as those used for magnetic recording. In this field, switching the magnetization insidethe magnetic sample is of particular relevance. We here investigate mathematicallythis problem by considering the full partial differential model of Landau-Lifschitzequations triggered by a uniform (in space) external magnetic field.
