Periodic solutions for the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation

Ferromagnetic materials tend to develop very complex magnetization patterns whose time evolution is modeled by the so-called Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation (LLG). In this paper, we construct time-periodic solutions for LLG in the regime of soft and small ferromagnetic particles which satisfy a certain shape condition. Roughly speaking, it is assumed that the length of the particle is greater than its hight and its width. The approach is based on a perturbation argument and the spectral analysis of the corresponding linearized problem as well as the theory of sectorial operators.

Boundary regularity for minimizers of the micromagnetic energy functional

Motivated by the construction of time-periodic solutions for the three-dimensional Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation in the case of soft and small ferromagnetic particles, we investigate the regularity properties of minimizers of the micromagnetic energy functional at the boundary. In particular, we show that minimizers are regular provided the volume of the particle is sufficiently small. The approach uses a reflection construction at the boundary and an adaption of the well-known regularity theory for minimizing harmonic maps into spheres.

Time-periodic N\'eel wall motions

In thin ferromagnetic films, the predominance of the magnetic shape anisotropy leads to in-plane magnetizations. The simplest domain wall in this geometry is the one-dimensional Neel wall that connects two magnetizations of opposite sign by a planar 180 degree rotation. In this paper, we perturb the static Neel wall profile in order to construct time-periodic Neel wall motions governed by to the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. Our construction works within a certain parameter regime and requires the restriction to external magnetic fields with small amplitudes and suitable time averages.
