Curvature effects in statics and dynamics of a thin magnetic shell

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

Equations of the magnetization dynamics are derived for an arbitrary curved 2D surface. General static solutions are obtained in the limit of a strong anisotropy of both signs (easy-surface and easy-normal cases). It is shown that the effect of the curvature can be treated as appearance of an effective magnetic field which is aligned along the surface normal for the case of easy-surface anisotropy and it is tangential to the surface for the case of easy-normal anisotropy. In general, the existence of such a field denies the solutions strictly tangential as well as strictly normal to the surface. As an example we consider static equilibrium solutions and linear dynamics for a cone surface magnetization.
