This equation is highly nonlinear in nature and, for this reason, many mathematical results in stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) cannot be applied. The aim of this work is to introduce the difference method to handle SPDEs and prove the existence of regular martingale solutions in dimension two. Some blow-up phenomena are presented, which are drastically different from the deterministic case. Finally, to yield correct thermal-equilibrium properties, Stratonovitch integral is used instead of Ito integral.展开更多

The Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert(LLG)equation is used to study the voltage controlled magnetic switching. It is found that the initial values of magnetic moment components are critical for the switching effect, which should satisfy a definite condition. The external magnetic field which affects only the oscillation period should be comparable to the internal magnetic field. If the external magnetic field is too small, the switching effect will disappear. The precessions of m_x and m_y are the best for the tilt angle of the external magnetic field θt = 0?, i.e., the field is perpendicular to the sample plane.展开更多

文摘Based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert(LLG)equation,the precession relaxation of magnetization is studied when the external field H is parallel to the uniaxial anisotropic field H_(k).The evolution of three-component magnetization is solved analytically under the condition of H=nH_(k)(n=3,1 and 0).It is found that with an increase of H or a decrease of the initial polar angle of magnetization,the relaxation time decreases and the angular frequency of magnetization increases.For comparison,the analytical solution for H_(k)=0 is also given.When the magnetization becomes stable,the angular frequency is proportional to the total effective field acting on the magnetization.The analytical solutions are not only conducive to the understanding of the precession relaxation of magnetization,but also can be used as a standard model to test the numerical calculation of LLG equation.
