A method for finding minimum energy paths of transitions in magnetic systems is presented.
The path is optimized with respect to orientation of the magnetic vectors while their …

Interpolation methods such as the nudged elastic band and string methods are widely used
for calculating minimum energy pathways and transition states for chemical reactions. Both …

The origin of the ferroelectric polarization switching in orthorhombic HfO 2 has been
investigated by first principles calculations. The phenomenon can be regarded as being the …

Magnetic skyrmions are hailed as a potential technology for data storage and other data
processing devices. However, their stability against thermal fluctuations is an open question …

A parallel finite element micromagnetics package has been implemented, that is highly
scalable, easily portable and combines different solvers for the micromagnetic equations …

A novel type of exchange spring media is proposed for magnetic recording systems
consisting of a hard/soft bilayer. Finite element micromagnetic simulations show that the …

We study how micromagnetic calculations can be applied to processes that involve a
singularity of the magnetization field, namely, the Bloch point. In order to allow for …

The concept of exchange spring media is extended from two layers to N layers. The coercive
field of the multilayer structure decreases with 1∕ N while the energy barrier is only …
