A macroscopic equation of motion for the magnetization a ferromagnet at elevated temperatures should contain both transverse and longitudinal relaxation terms interpolate between Landau-Lifshitz low Bloch high temperatures. It is shown that classical model where spin-bath interactions are described by stochastic Langevin fields spin-spin treated within mean-field approximation (MFA), such ``Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch'' (LLB) can be derived exactly from Fokker-Planck equation, if external...

We calculate the contribution of Néel surface anisotropy to effective magnetic nanoparticles spherical shape cut out a simple cubic lattice. The arises because deviations atomic magnetizations from collinearity and thus energy depends on orientation global magnetization. result is second order in anisotropy, scales with particle's volume, has symmetry preferred directions [+/- 1, +/-1 , +/-1].
In conventional micromagnetism magnetic domain configurations are calculated based on a continuum theory for the magnetization. This assumes that absolute magnetization value is constant in space and time. Dynamics usually described with Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation, stochastic variant of which includes finite temperatures. Using simulation techniques atomistic resolution we show this micromagnetic approach fails higher temperatures since find two effects cannot be terms LLG...

Magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected nanoscale spin textures exhibiting fascinating physical behaviors. Recent observations of room temperature in sputtered multilayer films an important step towards their use ultra-low power devices. Such practical applications prefer to be stable at zero magnetic fields and temperature. Here, we report the creation skyrmion lattices Pt/Co/Ta multilayers by a scanning local field using force microscopy tips. We also show that those newly created...
We have found a novel feature of the bistable large-spin model described by Hamiltonian $H{\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}\ensuremath{-}DS}_{z}^{2}{\ensuremath{-}H}_{x}{S}_{x}$. The crossover from thermal to quantum regime for escape rate can be either first $({H}_{x}<SD/2)$ or second $(SD/2<{H}_{x}<2\mathrm{SD})$ order, that is, sharp smooth, depending on strength transverse field. This prediction tested experimentally in molecular magnets like...
Magnetic nanoparticles with N\'eel surface anisotropy, different internal structures, arrangements, and elongation are modeled as many-spin systems. The results suggest that the energy of cut from cubic lattices can be represented by an effective one-spin potential containing uniaxial anisotropies. It is shown values signs corresponding constants depend strongly on particle's arrangement, structure, shape. Particles a simple lattice have opposite sign term, compared to particles...
Interaction of two skyrmions stabilized by the ferromagnetic exchange, Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), and external magnetic field has been studied numerically on a 2D lattice size large compared to separation, $d$, between skyrmions. We show that same chirality (determined symmetry crystal) repel. In accordance with earlier analytical results, their long-range pair falls out separation as $\exp(-d/δ_H)$, where $δ_H$ is screening length, independent DMI. The prefactor in this...
The integral relaxation time ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\tau}}}_{\mathrm{int}}$ of thermoactivating noninteracting single-domain ferromagnetic particles is calculated analytically in the geometry with a magnetic field H applied parallel to easy axis. It shown that drastic deviation ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\tau}}}_{\mathrm{int}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$ from lowest eigenvalue Fokker-Planck equation ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}_{1}$ at low temperatures, starting some critical value H,...
We show that dislocations should be the main source of spin tunneling in ${\mathrm{Mn}}_{12}$ crystals. Long range strains caused by produce broad distribution relaxation times has been seen many experiments. When external magnetic field is applied along $c$ axis crystal, local rotations anisotropy due to result effective transverse unfreezes odd resonances. Scaling law derived provides universal description for all
It is shown that the tunnelling splitting of energy levels easy-axis spin system in a small transverse magnetic field can be calculated perturbationally for arbitrary S. The results are exact, contrast to those obtained previously same limit by indirect and rather difficult methods.

We have shown that from classical to regimes lowering temperature first order $(d\ensuremath{\Gamma}/dT$...
We present numerical and analytical results for the swiching times of magnetic nanoparticles with uniaxial anisotropy at elevated temperatures, including vicinity T_c. The consideration is based in Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch equation that includes relaxation magnetization magnitude M. resulting switching are shorter than those following from naive Landau-Lifshitz due to (i) additional barrier lowering because reduction M (ii) critical divergence damping parameters.

We show that the theory of spin-phonon processes in paramagnetic solids must take into account coherent generation phonons by magnetic centers. This effect should drastically enhance rates nanoscale paramagnets and crystals molecular nanomagnets.
Large thermal fluctuations can destroy skyrmions - tiny speckles of rotated magnetization in two-dimensional films. Yet at low temperatures are believed to be topologically stable, which makes them good candidates for data storage and processing. However, as the authors demonstrate here, even zero temperature a nanoscale skyrmion is not protected against quantum decay. The theory based on imaginary-time dynamics skyrmion. Due fact that smallest still formed by many atomic spins, its decay...
