Possibility of Analysis and Prediction of Magnetic Properties of Nanoobjects by Means of Simulation Taking into Account an Implicit Dependence of the Functional of Their Free Energy on the Magnetization Distribution

Resumo

A short review of the results of a computer simulation of ferromagnets of limited sizes (nanoplatelets, thin films, and rods of rectangular section) using the method of minimizing the functional of the free energy of a magnetic system has been carried out. The implicit dependence of the functional on the magnetization distribution has been taken into account via the potential of the intrinsic field, which made it possible to exclude the points of the labile equilibrium upon minimizing the functional. The efficiency and adequacy of this method for studying micromagnetic properties of nanoobjects have been established. The specific features of the formation of domain structures of nanoobjects, as well as new possibilities of employing them in the magnetic recording of information have been shown.
