Description
As data transfer rates increase within the magnetic recording industry, improvements in device performance and reliability crucially depend
on the thorough understanding of nonlinear magnetization dynamics at a sub-nanoscale level.
This book offers a modern, stimulating
approach to the subject of nonlinear magnetization dynamics by discussing important aspects such as the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG)
equation, analytical solutions, and the connection between the general topological and structural aspects of dynamics.
An advanced
reference for the study and understanding of nonlinear magnetization dynamics, it addresses situations such as the understanding of spin
dynamics in short time scales and device performance and reliability in magnetic recording. Topics covered include nonlinear magnetization
dynamics and the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, nonlinear dynamical systems, spin waves, ferromagnetic resonance and pulsed magnetization
switching.
The book explains how to derive exact analytical solutions for the complete nonlinear problem and emphasises the connection
between the general topological and structural aspects of nonlinear magnetization dynamics and the discretization schemes better suited
to its numerical study. It is an exceptional research tool providing an advanced understanding of the study of magnetization dynamics
in situations of fundamental and technological interest.
