The zero temperature phase diagram of a one-dimensional S=2 Heisenberg ferromagnet with single-ion cubic anisotropy is studied numerically using the density-matrix renormalization group method. Evidence is found that although the model does…
We investigate the magnetization dynamics of ferromagnetic nanoparticles in the atomistic approach taking account of surface anisotropy and the spin misalignment it causes. We demonstrate that such inhomogeneous spin configurations induce…
We investigate the thermally activated magnetization switching of small ferromagnetic particles driven by an external magnetic field. For low uniaxial anisotropy the spins can be expected to rotate coherently, while for sufficient large…
We study the model of a biaxial single ferromagnetic spin Hamiltonian with an external magnetic field applied along the medium axis. The phase transition of the escape rate is investigated. Two different but equivalent methods are…
The influence of uniaxial anisotropy and the dipole interaction on the direction of the magnetization of ultra-thin ferromagnetic films in the ground-state is studied. The ground-state energy can be expressed in terms of anisotropy…
We review models for the nucleation of magnetisation reversal, i.e. the formation of a region of reversed magnetisation in an initially magnetically saturated system. For small particles models for collective reversal, either uniform…
The tunneling of a giant spin at excited levels is studied theoretically in mesoscopic magnets with a magnetic field at an arbitrary angle in the easy plane. Different structures of the tunneling barriers can be generated by the…
We consider a $\phi^4$-theory with a position-dependent distance from the critical point. One realization of this model is a classical ferromagnet subject to non-uniform mechanical stress. We find a sharp phase transition where the envelope…
Bulk magnetism in solids is fundamentally quantum mechanical in nature. Yet in many situations, including our everyday encounters with magnetic materials, quantum effects are masked, and it often suffices to think of magnetism in terms of…
We discuss numerical and theoretical results for models of magnetization switching in nanoparticles and ultrathin films. The models and computational methods include kinetic Ising and classical Heisenberg models of highly anisotropic…
We derive a master equation that allows us to study non-equilibrium dynamics of a quantum antiferromagnet. By resorting to spin-wave theory, we obtain a closed analytic form for the magnon decay rates. These turn out to be closely related…
We investigate the interplay of quantum fluctuations and magnetic anisotropies in metallic ferromagnets. Our central result is that fluctuations close to a quantum critical point can drive the moments to point along a magnetic hard axis. As…
We analyze dispersion relations of magnons in ferromagnetic nanostructures with uniaxial anisotropy taking into account inertial terms, i.e. magnetic nutation. Inertial effects are parametrized by damping-independent parameter $\beta$,…
We study theoretically the formation of the nuclear-spin polaron state in semiconductor nanosystems within the Lindblad equation approach. To this end, we derive a general Lindblad equation for the density operator that complies with the…
We study classical and quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnets with exchange anisotropy of XXZ-type and crystal field single-ion terms of quadratic and cubic form in a field. The magnets display a variety of phases, including the spin-flop (or,…
It is shown that the processes of neutrino oscillations in a magnetic field can be consistently described in the framework of a new quantum field-theoretical approach without use of the neutrino flavor states. It is based on the Feynman…
We present a method for a precise determination of magnetic anisotropy and anisotropy of quadratic magneto-optical response of thin films of ferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic materials. The method is based on measurements of a magneto-optical…
Mesoscale patterns as observed, e.g., in ferromagnets, ferroelectrics, superconductors, mono-molecular films, or block-copolymers, reflect spatial variations of a pertinent order parameter at length- and time-scales that may be described…
The influence of the in-plane anisotropy on the magnetization of a nanogranular film with perpendicular anisotropy has been studied. It is shown that if a magnetic field is tilted with respect to the film normal, a critical transition from…
The spin-1/2 Hamiltonian for two coupled isosceles Heisenberg triangles, which is well suited for describing the V$_6$-type magnetic molecules, is studied by exact diagonalization. The quantum phase transition diagram, at zero temperature,…
