It is well-known that in thin ferromagnetic film with a net magnetization perpendicular to the film the collinear arrangement of spins is unstable in an in-plane field $H$ smaller than its saturation value $H_c$. Existence of a stripe phase…
Ferrofluids belong to an important class of highly functional soft matter, benefiting from their magnetically controllable physical properties. Therefore, it is of central importance to quantitatively predict the dynamic magnetic response…

Orientational fluctuations of colloidal particles with magnetic moments may be rectified with the help of external magnetic fields with suitably chosen time dependence. As a result a noise-driven rotation of particles occurs giving rise to…
