Magnetic domain walls and the relaxation method

The relaxation method used to solve boundary value problems is applied to study the variation of the magnetization orientation in several types of domain walls that occur in ferromagnetic materials. The algorithm is explained and applied to several cases: the Bloch wall in bulk magnetic systems, the...

Description
Summary:The relaxation method used to solve boundary value problems is applied to study the variation of the magnetization orientation in several types of domain walls that occur in ferromagnetic materials. The algorithm is explained and applied to several cases: the Bloch wall in bulk magnetic systems, the radial wall in cylindrical wires and the Néel wall in thin films.
