Gyromagnetic effects in dynamics of magnetic microparticles
We derive equations of motion for paramagnetic and ferromagnetic particles fully accounting for gyromagnetic effects. Considering the Einstein-de Haas effect for an ellipsoidal paramagnetic particle we find that starting from a quiescent non-magnetized state, after the field is switched on a rotation along the short axis is established. This is confirmed by the stability analysis of the fixed points of the corresponding ordinary differential equations. In the case of a ferromagnetic particle we integrate the equations of motion in the dissipationless case by finding the integrals of motion. We also reformulate the equations in a Hamiltonian framework in this case and find a period of small nutation oscillations.
