Time-periodic oscillating N\'eel walls in ferromagnetic thin films
Abstract
This paper studies the existence, the structure and the spectral stability of time-periodic oscillating 180-degree N\'eel walls in ferromagnetic thin films. It is proved that time-periodic coherent structures do exist as solutions to the reduced model for the in-plane magnetization proposed by Capella, Melcher, and Otto (Nonlinearity 20 (2007), no. 11, 2519--2537) when a weak and $T$-periodic external magnetic field is applied in the direction of the easy axes of the film, perturbing in this fashion the well-known static 180-degree N\'{e}el wall. The linearization around this time-periodic N\'eel wall is constituted by a family of linear operators, parametrized by the time variable, which generates an evolution system of generators (or propagator) for the linear problem. Profiting from the stability of the static N\'eel wall, it is shown that the Floquet spectrum of the monodromy map for the propagator is contained in the complex unit circle, proving stability of the oscillating solution at least at a linear level.
