We study a variational model for transition layers in thin ferromagnetic films with an underlying functional that combines an Allen-Cahn type structure with an additional nonlocal interaction term. The model represents the magnetisation by a map from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{S}^1$. Thus it has a topological invariant in the form of a winding number, and we study minimisers subject to a prescribed winding number. As shown in our previous paper Ignat-Moser (JDE 2017), the nonlocal term gives rise…

### Interaction Energy of Domain Walls in a Nonlocal Ginzburg–Landau Type Model from Micromagnetics

• Physics
• 2015
We study a variational model from micromagnetics involving a nonlocal Ginzburg–Landau type energy for $${{\mathbb S}^{1}}$$S1-valued vector fields. These vector fields form domain walls, called Néel

This paper is devoted to the asymptotic analysis of a fractional version of the Ginzburg–Landau equation in bounded domains, where the Laplacian is replaced by an integro-differential operator

• Mathematics

We consider an asymptotic regime for two-dimensional ferromagnetic films that is consistent with the formation of transition layers, called Néel walls. We first establish compactness of

### The Logarithmic Tail of Néel Walls

We study the multiscale problem of a parametrized planar 180° rotation of magnetization states in a thin ferromagnetic film. In an appropriate scaling and when the film thickness is comparable to the

### Logarithmic lower bounds for Néel walls

Abstract.Most mathematical models for interfaces and transition layers in materials science exhibit sharply localized and rapidly decaying transition profiles. We show that this behavior can largely

Abstract.We consider the variational problem of micromagnetics for soft, relatively small thin films with no applied magnetic field. In terms of the film thickness t, the diameter l and the magnetic

We study the vortex pattern in ultrathin ferromagnetic films of circular crosssection. The model is based on the following energy functional: E_\varepsilon ^{2d} (m) = \varepsilon \int\limits_{B^2
