Exact Activation Energy of Magnetic Single Domain Particles

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2009-11-13 v1

Abstract

I present the exact analytical expression for the activation energy as a function of externally applied magnetic fields for a single--domain magnetic particle with uniaxial anisotropy (Stoner--Wohlfahrt model), and investigate the scaling behavior of the activation energy close to the switching boundary.
