Micromagnetic Simulation of Thermal Effects in Magnetic Nanostructures

  • Published:
MRS Online Proceedings Library Aims and scope

Abstract

A path finding method and a stochastic time integration scheme for the simulation of thermally activated magnetization processes are introduced. The minimum energy path and the saddle points for the thermally induced transitions between the ground states of NiFe magnetic nano-elements are calculated.
