Formation of Dynamic Domains in Strongly Driven Ferromagnets

Abstract

Based on the dissipative Landau-Lifshitz equation, the spatiotemporal structure formation problem is investigated in the region far above the transverse ferromagnetic resonance instability. Apart from the external fields, the model contains an isotropic exchange field, a shape demagnetisation field and an anisotropy field. Numerical simulations exhibit in the rotating frame a stationary domain structure with a precessing motion in the walls regimes. Employing analytical methods, characteristic elements of this structure are explained. This driven dissipative system shows similarities to equilibrium systems of coexisting phases and organises itself in such a way that the local dynamics tends to become hamiltonian.

The Bogdanov Map: Bifurcations, Mode Locking, and Chaos in a Dissipative System

We investigate the bifurcations and basins of attraction in the Bogdanov map, a planar quadratic map which is conjugate to the Hénon area-preserving map in its conservative limit. It undergoes a Hopf bifurcation as dissipation is added, and exhibits the panoply of mode locking, Arnold tongues, and chaos as an invariant circle grows out, finally to be destroyed in the homoclinic tangency of the manifolds of a remote saddle point. The Bogdanov map is the Euler map of a two-dimensional system of ordinary differential equations first considered by Bogdanov and Arnold in their study of the versal unfolding of the double-zero-eigenvalue singularity, and equivalently of a vector field invariant under rotation of the plane by an angle $2π$. It is a useful system in which to observe the effect of dissipative perturbations on Hamiltonian structure. In addition, we argue that the Bogdanov map provides a good approximation to the dynamics of the Poincaré maps of periodically forced oscillators.

Passive Scalars and Three-Dimensional Liouvillian Maps

Global aspects of the motion of passive scalars in time-dependent incompressible fluid flows are well described by volume-preserving (Liouvillian) three-dimensional maps. In this paper the possible invariant structures in Liouvillian maps and the two most interesting nearly-integrable cases are investigated. In addition, the fundamental role of invariant lines in organizing the dynamics of this type of system is exposed. Bifurcations involving the destruction of some invariant lines and tubes and the creation of new ones are described in detail.
