Stochastic dynamics of magnetization in a ferromagnetic nanoparticle out of equilibrium
We consider a small metallic particle (quantum dot) where ferromagnetism arises as a consequence of Stoner instability. When the particle is connected to electrodes, exchange of electrons between the particle and the electrodes leads to a temperature- and bias-driven Brownian motion of the direction of the particle magnetization. Under certain conditions this Brownian motion is described by the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. As an example of its application, we calculate the frequency-dependent magnetic susceptibility of the particle in a constant external magnetic field, which is relevant for ferromagnetic resonance measurements.

On densest packings of equal balls of $\rb^{n}$ and Marcinkiewicz spaces
We investigate, by "a la Marcinkiewicz" techniques applied to the (asymptotic) density function, how dense systems of equal spheres of $\rb^{n}, n \geq 1,$ can be partitioned at infinity in order to allow the computation of their density as a true limit and not a limsup. The density of a packing of equal balls is the norm 1 of the characteristic function of the systems of balls in the sense of Marcinkiewicz. Existence Theorems for densest sphere packings and completely saturated sphere packings of maximal density are given new direct proofs.

Bioprotectant glassforming solutions confined in porous silicon nanocapillaries
Glycerol and trehalose-glycerol binary solutions are glass-forming liquids with remarkable bioprotectant properties. In this paper, we address the effects of confining of these solutions in straight channels of diameter D=8 nm formed by porous silicon. Neutron diffraction and incoherent quasielastic neutron scattering are used to reveal the different effects of nanoconfinement and addition of trehalose on the intermolecular structure and molecular dynamics of the liquid and glassy phases, on a nanosecond timescale.

Computing equations for residually free groups
We show that there is no algorithm deciding whether the maximal residually free quotient of a given finitely presented group is finitely presentable or not. Given a finitely generated subgroup G of a finite product of limit groups, we discuss the possibility of finding an explicit set of defining equations (i.e. of expressing G as the maximal residually free quotient of an explicit finitely presented group).

Simulation of current-induced microwave oscillation in geometrically confined domain wall
We studied magnetization dynamics of a geometrically confined domain wall under dc current by solving simultaneously the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation and diffusion equation for spin accumulation. We showed that the oscillation motion of the domain wall is driven by the spin-transfer torque and the dc current is converted to the ac voltage signal. The results means that the geometrically confined domain wall is applicable as a source of microwave oscillator.

Projective Space Codes for the Injection Metric
In the context of error control in random linear network coding, it is useful to construct codes that comprise well-separated collections of subspaces of a vector space over a finite field. In this paper, the metric used is the so-called "injection distance", introduced by Silva and Kschischang. A Gilbert-Varshamov bound for such codes is derived. Using the code-construction framework of Etzion and Silberstein, new non-constant-dimension codes are constructed; these codes contain more codewords than comparable codes designed for the subspace metric.

Hamilton cycles in random geometric graphs
We prove that, in the Gilbert model for a random geometric graph, almost every graph becomes Hamiltonian exactly when it first becomes 2-connected. This answers a question of Penrose. We also show that in the k-nearest neighbor model, there is a constant \kappa\ such that almost every \kappa-connected graph has a Hamilton cycle.

Nonlinear Schroedinger-Poisson Theory for Quantum-Dot Helium
We use a nonlinear Schroedinger-Poisson equation to describe two interacting electrons with opposite spins confined in a parabolic potential, a quantum dot. We propose an effective form of the Poisson equation taking into account the dimensional mismatch of the two-dimensional electronic system and the three-dimensional electrostatics. The results agree with earlier numerical calculations performed in a large basis of two-body states and provide a simple model for continuous quantum-classical transition with increasing nonlinearity. Specific intriguing properties due to eigenstate non-orthogonality are emphasized.

Performance of Magnetic Quantum Cellular Automata and Limitations due to Thermal Noise
Operation parameters of magnetic quantum cellular automata are evaluated for the purposes of reliable logic operation. The dynamics of the nanomagnets is simulated via the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equations with a stochastic magnetic field corresponding to thermal fluctuations. It is found that in the macrospin approximation the switching speed does not change under scaling of both size and distances between nanomagnets. Thermal fluctuations put a limitation on the size of nanomagnets, since the gate error rate becomes excessive for nanomagnets smaller than 200nm at room temperature.

Critical current density for spin transfer torque switching with composite free layer structure
Critical current density of composite free layer (CFL) in magnetic tunneling junction is investigated. CFL consists of two exchange coupled ferromagnetic layers, where the coupling is parallel or anti-parallel. Instability condition of the CFL under the spin transfer torque, which is related with critical current density, is obtained by analytic spin wave excitation model and confirmed by macro-spin Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. The critical current densities for the coupled two identical layers are investigated with various coupling strengths, and spin transfer torque efficiencies.

Tunable steady-state domain wall oscillator with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy
We theoretically study domain wall oscillations upon the injection of a dc current through a geometrically constrained wire with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. The oscillation frequency spectrum can be tuned by the injected current density, but additionally by the application of an external magnetic field independent of the power. The results of analytical calculations are supported by micromagnetic simulations based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. The simple concept of our localized steady-state oscillator might prove useful as a nanoscale microwave generator with possible applications in telecommunication or for rf-assisted writing in magnetic hard drives.

Dipolar field effect on microwave oscillation in a domain wall spin-valve
We examined dipolar field effects on the microwave generation in the domain wall spin-valve by solving simultaneously the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert and Zhang-Levy-Fert diffusion equations. By numerically analyzing dipolar field dependence, we showed that the microwave generation needs the dipole-dipole interaction for a 180$^\circ$ domain wall and the amplitude of the microwave voltage signal depends strongly on the exchange length. In order to design a microwave generator using the domain wall spin-valve with high efficiency, we propose that the materials with short exchange length are preferred.

Dissipative dynamics of magnetic solitons in metals
Soliton dynamics in spin-textured metals generate electrical currents, which produce backaction through spin torques. We modify the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation and the corresponding solitonic equations of motion to include such higher-order texture effects. We also find a quasistatic equation for the induced electrochemical potential, which needs to be solved for self-consistently, in the incompressible limit. As an example, we consider the orbital motion of a vortex in a point-contact spin valve, and discuss modifications of orbit radius, frequency, and dissipation power.

JSJ decompositions: definitions, existence, uniqueness. I: The JSJ deformation space
This paper and its companion arXiv:1002.4564 have been replaced by arXiv:1602.05139. We give a general simple definition of JSJ decompositions by means of a universal maximality property. The JSJ decomposition should not be viewed as a tree (which is not uniquely defined) but as a canonical deformation space of trees. We prove that JSJ decompositions of finitely presented groups always exist, without any assumption on edge groups. Many examples are given.

Domain wall motion in ferromagnetic nanowires driven by arbitrary time-dependent fields: An exact result
We address the dynamics of magnetic domain walls in ferromagnetic nanowires under the influence of external time-dependent magnetic fields. We report a new exact spatiotemporal solution of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation for the case of soft ferromagnetic wires and nanostructures with uniaxial anisotropy. The solution holds for applied fields with arbitrary strength and time dependence. We further extend this solution to applied fields slowly varying in space and to multiple domain walls.

SN2010U -- a Luminous Nova in NGC 4214
The luminosity, light curve, post--maximum spectrum, and lack of a progenitor on deep pre-outburst images suggest that SN 2010U was a luminous, fast nova. Its outburst magnitude is consistent with that for a fast nova using the Maximum Magnitude-Rate of Decline relationship for classical novae.

Highly Parallel Sparse Matrix-Matrix Multiplication
Generalized sparse matrix-matrix multiplication is a key primitive for many high performance graph algorithms as well as some linear solvers such as multigrid. We present the first parallel algorithms that achieve increasing speedups for an unbounded number of processors. Our algorithms are based on two-dimensional block distribution of sparse matrices where serial sections use a novel hypersparse kernel for scalability. We give a state-of-the-art MPI implementation of one of our algorithms. Our experiments show scaling up to thousands of processors on a variety of test scenarios.

Boundary regularity for minimizers of the micromagnetic energy functional
Motivated by the construction of time-periodic solutions for the three-dimensional Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation in the case of soft and small ferromagnetic particles, we investigate the regularity properties of minimizers of the micromagnetic energy functional at the boundary. In particular, we show that minimizers are regular provided the volume of the particle is sufficiently small. The approach uses a reflection construction at the boundary and an adaption of the well-known regularity theory for minimizing harmonic maps into spheres.

Time-periodic Néel wall motions
In thin ferromagnetic films, the predominance of the magnetic shape anisotropy leads to in-plane magnetizations. The simplest domain wall in this geometry is the one-dimensional Neel wall that connects two magnetizations of opposite sign by a planar 180 degree rotation. In this paper, we perturb the static Neel wall profile in order to construct time-periodic Neel wall motions governed by to the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. Our construction works within a certain parameter regime and requires the restriction to external magnetic fields with small amplitudes and suitable time averages.

Supercurrent-Induced Magnetization Dynamics
We investigate supercurrent-induced magnetization dynamics in a Josephson junction with two misaligned ferromagnetic layers, and demonstrate a variety of effects by solving numerically the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. In particular, we demonstrate the possibility to obtain supercurrent-induced magnetization switching for an experimentally feasible set of parameters, and clarify the favorable condition for the realization of magnetization reversal. These results constitute a superconducting analogue to conventional current-induced magnetization dynamics and indicate how spin-triplet supercurrents may be utilized for practical purposes in spintronics.

Polarization and magnetization dynamics of a field-driven multiferroic structure
We consider a multiferroic chain with a linear magnetoelectric coupling induced by the electrostatic screening at the ferroelectric/ferromagnet interface. We study theoretically the dynamic ferroelectric and magnetic response to external magnetic and electric fields by utilizing an approach based on coupled Landau- Khalatnikov and finite-temperature Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equations. Additionally, we compare with Monte Carlo calculations. It is demonstrated that for material parameters corresponding to BaTiO3/Fe the polarization and the magnetization are controllable by external magnetic and electric fields respectively.

Factorization of banded permutations
We consider the factorization of permutations into bandwidth 1 permutations, which are products of mutually nonadjacent simple transpositions. We exhibit an upper bound on the minimal number of such factors and thus prove a conjecture of Gilbert Strang: a banded permutation of bandwidth $w$ can be represented as the product of at most $2w-1$ permutations of bandwidth 1. An analogous result holds also for infinite and cyclically banded permutations.

Nonlinear interference in a mean-field quantum model
Using similar nonlinear stationary mean-field models for Bose-Einstein Condensation of cold atoms and interacting electrons in a Quantum Dot, we propose to describe the original many-particle ground state as a one-particle statistical mixed state of the nonlinear eigenstates whose weights are provided by the eigenstate non-orthogonality. We search for physical grounds in the interpretation of our two main results, namely, quantum-classical nonlinear transition and interference between nonlinear eigenstates.

Steiner Ratio for Manifolds
The Steiner ratio characterizes the greatest possible deviation of the length of a minimal spanning tree from the length of the minimal Steiner tree. In this paper, estimates of the Steiner ratio on Riemannian manifolds are obtained. As a corollary, the Steiner ratio for flat tori, flat Klein bottles, and projective plane of constant positive curvature are computed.

Current-induced dynamics of composite free layer with antiferromagnetic interlayer exchange coupling
Current-induced dynamics in spin valves including composite free layer with antiferromagnetic interlayer exchange coupling is studied theoretically within the diffusive transport regime. We show that current-induced dynamics of a synthetic antiferromagnet is significantly different from dynamics of a synthetic ferrimagnet. From macrospin simulations we obtain conditions for switching the composite free layer, as well as for appearance of various self-sustained dynamical modes. Numerical simulations are compared with simple analytical models of critical current based on linearized Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation.

Spin waves cause non-linear friction
Energy dissipation is studied for a hard magnetic tip that scans a soft magnetic substrate. The dynamics of the atomic moments are simulated by solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation numerically. The local energy currents are analysed for the case of a Heisenberg spin chain taken as substrate. This leads to an explanation for the velocity dependence of the friction force: The non-linear contribution for high velocities can be attributed to a spin wave front pushed by the tip along the substrate.

Upper and Lower Bounds on the Minimum Distance of Expander Codes
The minimum distance of expander codes over GF(q) is studied. A new upper bound on the minimum distance of expander codes is derived. The bound is shown to lie under the Varshamov-Gilbert (VG) bound while q >= 32. Lower bounds on the minimum distance of some families of expander codes are obtained. A lower bound on the minimum distance of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes with a Reed--Solomon constituent code over GF(q) is obtained. The bound is shown to be very close to the VG bound and to lie above the upper bound for expander codes.

Stability of precessing domain walls in ferromagnetic nanowires
We show that recently reported precessing solution of Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equations in ferromagnetic nanowires is stable under small perturbations of initial data, applied field and anisotropy constant. Linear stability is established analytically, while nonlinear stability is verified numerically.

Current induced magnetization reversal on the surface of a topological insulator
We study dynamics of the magnetization coupled to the surface Dirac fermions of a three di- mensional topological insulator. By solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation in the presence of charge current, we find current induced magnetization dynamics and discuss the possibility of mag- netization reversal. The torque from the current injection depends on the transmission probability through the ferromagnet and shows nontrivial dependence on the exchange coupling. The mag- netization dynamics is a direct manifestation of the inverse spin-galvanic effect and hence another ferromagnet is unnecessary to induce spin transfer torque in contrast to the conventional setup.

Thermoelectric detection of ferromagnetic resonance of a nanoscale ferromagnet
We present thermoelectric measurements of the heat dissipated due to ferromagnetic resonance of a Permalloy strip. A microwave magnetic field, produced by an on-chip coplanar strip waveguide, is used to drive the magnetization precession. The generated heat is detected via Seebeck measurements on a thermocouple connected to the ferromagnet. The observed resonance peak shape is in agreement with the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation and is compared with thermoelectric finite element modeling. Unlike other methods, this technique is not restricted to electrically conductive media and is therefore also applicable to for instance ferromagnetic insulators.

Effects of Fermion Flavor on Exciton Condensation in Double Layer Systems
We use fermionic path integral quantum Monte Carlo to study the effects of fermion flavor on the physical properties of dipolar exciton condensates in double layer systems. We find that by including spin in the system weakens the effective interlayer interaction strength, yet this has very little effect on the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition temperature. We further find that, to obtain the correct description of screening, it is necessary to account for correlation in both the interlayer and intralayer interactions. We show that while the excitonic binding cannot completely surpress screening by additional fermion flavors, their screening effectiveness is reduced leading to a much higher transition temperatures than predicted with large-N analysis.

An ultrafast image recovery and recognition system implemented with nanomagnets possessing biaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy
A circular magnetic disk with biaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy has four stable magnetization states which can be used to encode a pixel's shade in a black/gray/white image. By solving the Landau-Lifshitz- Gilbert equation, we show that if moderate noise deflects the magnetization slightly from a stable state, it always returns to the original state, thereby automatically de-noising the corrupted image. The same system can compare a noisy input image with a stored image and make a matching decision using magneto-tunneling junctions. These tasks are executed at ultrahigh speeds (~2 ns for a 512\times512 pixel image).

Magnonic band structure of a two-dimensional magnetic superlattice
The frequencies and linewidths of spin waves in a two-dimensional periodic superlattice of magnetic materials are found, using the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equations. The form of the exchange field from a surface-torque-free boundary between magnetic materials is derived, and magnetic-material combinations are identified which produce gaps in the magnonic spectrum across the entire superlattice Brillouin zone for hexagonal and square-symmetry superlattices.

Supercurrent induced domain wall motion
We study the dynamics of a magnetic domain wall, inserted in, or juxtaposed to, a conventional superconductor, via the passage of a spin polarized current through a FSF junction. Solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation of motion for the magnetic moments we calculate the velocity of the domain wall and compare it with the case of a FNF junction. We find that in several regimes the domain wall velocity is larger when it is driven by a supercurrent.

The Main Diagonal of a Permutation Matrix
By counting 1's in the "right half" of $2w$ consecutive rows, we locate the main diagonal of any doubly infinite permutation matrix with bandwidth $w$. Then the matrix can be correctly centered and factored into block-diagonal permutation matrices. Part II of the paper discusses the same questions for the much larger class of band-dominated matrices. The main diagonal is determined by the Fredholm index of a singly infinite submatrix. Thus the main diagonal is determined "at infinity" in general, but from only $2w$ rows for banded permutations.

Stability of the Greedy Algorithm on the Circle
We consider a single-server system with service stations in each point of the circle. Customers arrive after exponential times at uniformly-distributed locations. The server moves at finite speed and adopts a greedy routing mechanism. It was conjectured by Coffman and Gilbert in~1987 that the service rate exceeding the arrival rate is a sufficient condition for the system to be positive recurrent, for any value of the speed. In this paper we show that the conjecture holds true.

Riffle shuffles with biased cuts
The well-known Gilbert-Shannon-Reeds model for riffle shuffles assumes that the cards are initially cut 'about in half' and then riffled together. We analyze a natural variant where the initial cut is biased. Extending results of Fulman (1998), we show a sharp cutoff in separation and L-infinity distances. This analysis is possible due to the close connection between shuffling and quasisymmetric functions along with some complex analysis of a generating function.

Solutions of the Fully Compressible Semi-Geostrophic System
The fully compressible semi-geostrophic system is widely used in the modelling of large-scale atmospheric flows. In this paper, we prove rigorously the existence of weak Lagrangian solutions of this system, formulated in the original physical coordinates. In addition, we provide an alternative proof of the earlier result on the existence of weak solutions of this system expressed in the so-called geostrophic, or dual, coordinates. The proofs are based on the optimal transport formulation of the problem and on recent general results concerning transport problems posed in the Wasserstein space of probability measures.

Micromagnetic Simulations for Spin Transfer Torque in Magnetic Multilayers
We investigate the spin transfer torque (STT) in the magnetic multilayer structures with micromagnetic simulations. We implement the STT contribution for the magnetic multilayer structures in addition to the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) micromagnetic simulators. Not only the Sloncewski STT term, the zero, first, and second order field- like terms are also considered, and the effects of the Oersted field by the current are addressed. We determine the switching current densities of the free layer with the exchange biased synthetic ferrimagnetic reference layers for various cases.

Pseudospin Transfer Torques in Semiconductor Electron Bilayers
We use self-consistent quantum transport theory to investigate the influence of electron-electron interactions on interlayer transport in semiconductor electron bilayers in the absence of an external magnetic field. We conclude that, even though spontaneous pseudospin order does not occur at zero field, interaction-enhanced quasiparticle tunneling amplitudes and pseudospin transfer torques do alter tunneling I-V characteristics, and can lead to time-dependent response to a dc bias voltage.

Skyrmion Generation by Current
Skyrmions, once a hypothesized field-theoretical object believed to describe the nature of elementary particles, became common sightings in recent years among several non-centrosymmetric metallic ferromagnets. For more practical applications of Skyrmionic matter as carriers of information, thus realizing the prospect of "Skyrmionics", it is necessary to have the means to create and manipulate Skyrmions individually. We show through extensive simulation of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation that a circulating current imparted to the metallic chiral ferromagnetic system can create isolated Skyrmionic spin texture without the aid of external magnetic field.

Numerical Study on Spin Torque Switching in Thermally Activated Region
We studied the spin torque switching of the single free layer in the thermally activated region by numerically solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. We found that the temperature dependence of the switching time of the in-plane magnetized system is nonlinear, which means $b \neq 1$. Here, $b$ is the exponent of the current term in the switching rate formula and has been widely assumed to be unity. This result enables us to evaluate the thermal stability of spintronics devices.

Theory of current-driven motion of Skyrmions and spirals in helical magnets
We study theoretically the dynamics of the spin textures, i.e., Skyrmion crystal (SkX) and spiral structure (SS), in two-dimensional helical magnets under external current. By numerically solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, it is found that (i) the critical current density of the motion is much lower for SkX compared with SS in agreement with the recent experiment, (ii) there is no intrinsic pinning effect for SkX and the deformation of the internal structure of Skyrmion reduces the pinning effect dramatically, (iii) the Bragg intensity of SkX shows strong time-dependence as can be observed by neutron scattering experiment.

Solar Orbiter: Exploring the Sun-heliosphere connection
The heliosphere represents a uniquely accessible domain of space, where fundamental physical processes common to solar, astrophysical and laboratory plasmas can be studied under conditions impossible to reproduce on Earth and unfeasible to observe from astronomical distances. Solar Orbiter, the first mission of ESA's Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 programme, will address the central question of heliophysics: How does the Sun create and control the heliosphere? In this paper, we present the scientific goals of the mission and provide an overview of the mission implementation.

Harnessing the modulation instability spectrum in optical fibers with a periodic dispersion landscape
We report the experimental demonstration of modulation instability process assisted by a dispersion grating in an optical fiber. A simple analytical model is developed to further analyze and explain the complex dynamics of this process, showing that each of the multiple spectral components grows thanks to a quasi phase-matching mechanism inherent to the periodicity of the waveguide parameters. This model is confirmed by numerical simulations and it is successfully used to tailor the multi-peak modulation instability spectrum shape. These theoretical predictions are confirmed by experiments.

Lexicodes over Rings
In this paper, we consider the construction of linear lexicodes over finite chain rings by using a $B$-ordering over these rings and a selection criterion. % and a greedy Algorithm. As examples we give lexicodes over $\mathbb{Z}_4$ and $\mathbb{F}_2+u\mathbb{F}_2$. %First, greedy algorithms are presented to construct %lexicodes using a multiplicative property. Then, greedy algorithms %are given for the case when the selection criteria is not %multiplicative such as the minimum distance constraint. It is shown that this construction produces many optimal codes over rings and also good binary codes. Some of these codes meet the Gilbert bound. We also obtain optimal self-dual codes, in particular the octacode.

Self-sustained current oscillations in spin-blockaded quantum dots
Self-sustained current oscillation observed in spin-blockaded double quantum dots is explained as a consequence of periodic motion of dynamically polarized nuclear spins (along a limit cycle) in the spin-blockaded regime under an external magnetic field and a spin-transfer torque. It is shown, based on the Landau-Lifshtz-Gilbert equation, that a sequence of semistable limit cycle, Hopf and homoclinic bifurcations occurs as the external field is tuned. The divergent period near the homoclinic bifurcation explains well why the period in the experiment is so long and varies by many orders of magnitudes.

All Spin Nano-magnetic State Elements
We propose an all spin state element to enable all spin state machines using spin currents and nanomagnets. We demonstrate via numerical simulations the operation of a state element a critical building block for synchronous, sequential logic computation. The numerical models encompass Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) nanomagnet dynamics with stochastic models and vector spin-transport in metallic magnetic and non-magnetic channels. Combined with all spin combinatorial logic, the state elements can enable synchronous and asynchronous computing elements.

Effect of Spin Torque on Magnetization Switching Speed Having Nonuniform Spin Distribution
We study the influence of the spin torque, which depends on the space and time derivative of magnetization, on magnetization reversal time in a ferromagnetic fine particle. The spin torque operates to dissipate the angular momentum of the magnetization precession, and the torque increases in a spin vortex structure. We calculate the magnetization reversal time under a DC magnetic field using the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation containing a spin torque term. We found that the spin torque changes the magnetization switching speed significantly during the reversal process by maintaining a spin vortex in an intermediate state.

magnum.fe: A micromagnetic finite-element simulation code based on FEniCS
We have developed a finite-element micromagnetic simulation code based on the FEniCS package called magnum.fe. Here we describe the numerical methods that are applied as well as their implementation with FEniCS. We apply a transformation method for the solution of the demagnetization-field problem. A semi-implicit weak formulation is used for the integration of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. Numerical experiments show the validity of simulation results. magnum.fe is open source and well documented. The broad feature range of the FEniCS package makes magnum.fe a good choice for the implementation of novel micromagnetic finite-element algorithms.

Control of dissipation in superconducting films by magnetic stray fields
Hybrid superconducting/magnetic nanostructures on Si substrates have been built with identical physical dimensions but different magnetic configurations. By constructing arrays based on Co-dots with in-plane, out-of-plane, and vortex state magnetic configurations, the stray fields are systematically tuned. Dissipation in the mixed state of superconductors can be decreased (increased) by several orders of magnitude by decreasing (increasing) the stray magnetic fields. Furthermore, ordering of the stray fields over the entire array helps to suppress dissipation and enhance commensurability effects increasing the number of dissipation minima.

Lower bounds on the minimum distance of long codes in the Lee metric
The Gilbert type bound for codes in the title is reviewed, both for small and large alphabets. Constructive lower bounds better than these existential bounds are derived from geometric codes, either over Fp or Fp2 ; or over even degree extensions of Fp: In the latter case the approach is concatena- tion with a good code for the Hamming metric as outer code and a short code for the Lee metric as an inner code. In the former case lower bounds on the minimum Lee distance are derived by algebraic geometric arguments inspired by results of Wu, Kuijper, Udaya (2007).

Mansuripur's Paradox
A recent article claims that the Lorentz force law is incompatible with special relativity. We discuss the "paradox" on which this claim is based. The resolution depends on whether one assumes a "Gilbert" model for the magnetic dipole (separated monopoles) or the standard "Ampere" model (current loop). The former was presented in these pages many years ago; the latter requires the inclusion of "hidden momentum."

Instability of Walker Propagating Domain Wall in Magnetic Nanowires
Stability of the well-known Walker propagating domain wall (DW) solution of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation is analytically investigated. Surprisingly, the Walker's rigid body propagating DW mode is not stable against the spin wave/wavepacket emission. In the low field region only stern spin waves are emitted while both stern and bow waves are generated under high fields. In a high enough field, but below the Walker breakdown field, the Walker solution could be convective/absolute unstable if the transverse magnetic anisotropy is larger than a critical value, corresponding to a significant modification of the DW profile and DW propagating speed.

Maximizing Spin Torque Diode Voltage by Optimizing Magnetization Alignment
The optimum condition of the magnetization alignment to maximize the spin torque diode voltage is derived by solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. We show that the optimized diode voltage can be one order of magnitude larger than that of the conventional alignment where the easy axes of the free and the pinned layers are parallel. These analytical predictions are confirmed by numerical simulations.

Residual properties of automorphism groups of (relatively) hyperbolic groups
We show that Out(G) is residually finite if G is a one-ended group that is hyperbolic relative to virtually polycyclic subgroups. More generally, if G is one-ended and hyperbolic relative to proper residually finite subgroups, the group of outer automorphisms preserving the peripheral structure is residually finite. We also show that Out(G) is virtually p-residually finite for every prime p if G is one-ended and toral relatively hyperbolic, or infinitely-ended and virtually p-residually finite.

Thermally-Assisted Spin-Transfer Torque Dynamics in Energy Space
We consider the general Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert theory underlying the magnetization dynamics of a macrospin magnet subject to spin-torque effects and thermal fluctuations. Thermally activated dynamical properties are analyzed by averaging the full magnetization equations over constant- energy orbits. After averaging, all the relevant dynamical scenarios are a function of the ratio between hard and easy axis anisotropies. We derive analytically the range of currents for which limit cycles exist and discuss the regimes in which the constant energy orbit averaging technique is applicable.

Imperfect Construction of Microclusters
Microclusters are the basic building blocks used to construct cluster states capable of supporting fault-tolerant quantum computation. In this paper, we explore the consequences of errors on microcluster construction using two error models. To quantify the effect of the errors we calculate the fidelity of the constructed microclusters and the fidelity with which two such microclusters can be fused together. Such simulations are vital for gauging the capability of an experimental system to achieve fault tolerance.

Weyl Phases in Point-Group Symmetric Superconductors
We study superconductivity in a Weyl semimetal with broken time-reversal symmetry and stabilized by a point-group symmetry. The resulting superconducting phase is characterized by topologically protected bulk nodes and surface states with Fermi arcs. The topological invariant governing the system is calculated using changes in eigenvalues of the point-group operator along high-symmetry momentum lines. We show that this invariant is determined by the Fermi surface topology of the Weyl semimetal. We discuss the effect of surface orientation and $C_4$-breaking strain as possible experimental consequences.

The Polarization Signature of Local Bulk Flows
A large peculiar velocity of the intergalactic medium produces a Doppler shift of the cosmic microwave background with a frequency-dependent quadrupole term. This quadrupole will act as a source for polarization of the cosmic microwave background, creating a large-scale polarization anisotropy if the bulk flow is local and coherent on large scales. In the case where we are near the center of the moving region, the polarization signal is a pure quadrupole. We show that the signal is small, but detectable with future experiments for bulk flows as large as some recent reports.

Tri-Dirac Surface Modes in Topological Superconductors
We propose a new type of topological surface modes having cubic dispersion in three-dimensional topological superconductors. Lower order dispersions are prohibited by the threefold rotational symmetry and time-reversal symmetry. Cooper pairing in the bulk changes sign under improper rotations, akin to$^{3}$He-B. The surface manifestations are a divergent surface density of states at the Fermi level and isospins that rotate three times as they circle the origin in momentum space. We propose that Heusler alloys with band inversion are candidate materials to harbor the novel topological superconductivity.

Effect of Dzyaloshinskii Moriya interaction on magnetic vortex
The effect of the Dzyaloshinskii Moriya interaction on the vortex in magnetic microdisk was investigated by micro magnetic simulation based on the Landau Lifshitz Gilbert equation. Our results show that the DM interaction modifies the size of the vortex core, and also induces an out of plane magnetization component at the edge and inside the disk. The DM interaction can destabilizes one vortex handedness, generate a bias field to the vortex core and couple the vortex polarity and chirality. This DM-interaction-induced coupling can therefore provide a new way to control vortex polarity and chirality.

Self-Oscillation in Spin Torque Oscillator Stabilized by Field-like Torque
The self-oscillation of the magnetization in a spin torque oscillator (STO) with a perpendicularly magnetized free layer and an in-plane magnetized pinned layer in the absence of an applied magnetic field was studied by numerically solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. It was pointed out that field-like torque was necessary to realize stable self-oscillation in this type of STO at zero field. The numerical simulation at finite temperature showed that the presence of the field-like torque led to a high power with a relatively high oscillation frequency.

Spin-polarized transport in ferromagnetic multilayers: An unconditionally convergent FEM integrator
We propose and analyze a decoupled time-marching scheme for the coupling of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation with a quasilinear diffusion equation for the spin accumulation. This model describes the interplay of magnetization and electron spin accumulation in magnetic and non-magnetic multilayer structures. Despite the strong nonlinearity of the overall PDE system, the proposed integrator requires only the solution of two linear systems per time-step. Unconditional convergence of the integrator towards weak solutions is proved.

An efficient algorithm for the entropy rate of a hidden Markov model with unambiguous symbols
We demonstrate an efficient formula to compute the entropy rate $H(\mu)$ of a hidden Markov process with $q$ output symbols where at least one symbol is unambiguously received. Using an approximation to $H(\mu)$ to the first $N$ terms we give a $O(Nq^3$) algorithm to compute the entropy rate of the hidden Markov model. We use the algorithm to estimate the entropy rate when the parameters of the hidden Markov model are unknown.In the case of $q =2$ the process is the output of the Z-channel and we use this fact to give bounds on the capacity of the Gilbert channel.

Skyrmionic spin Seebeck effect via dissipative thermomagnonic torques
We derive thermomagnonic torque and its "$\beta$-type" dissipative correction from the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. The "$\beta$-type" dissipative correction describes viscous coupling between magnetic dynamics and magnonic current and it stems from spin mistracking of the magnetic order. We show that thermomagnonic torque is important for describing temperature gradient induced motion of skyrmions in helical magnets while dissipative correction plays an essential role in generating transverse Magnus force. We propose to detect such skyrmionic motion by employing the transverse spin Seebeck effect geometry.

Sparse Approximation, List Decoding, and Uncertainty Principles
We consider list versions of sparse approximation problems, where unlike the existing results in sparse approximation that consider situations with unique solutions, we are interested in multiple solutions. We introduce these problems and present the first combinatorial results on the output list size. These generalize and enhance some of the existing results on threshold phenomenon and uncertainty principles in sparse approximations. Our definitions and results are inspired by similar results in list decoding. We also present lower bound examples that bolster our results and show they are of the appropriate size.

Linewidth of Power Spectrum Originated from Thermal Noise in Spin Torque Oscillator
A theoretical formula of the linewidth caused by the thermal activation in a spin torque oscillator with a perpendicularly magnetized free layer and an in-plane magnetized pinned layer was developed by solving the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation in the energy-phase representation. It is shown that the linewidth can be suppressed down to 0.1 MHz by applying a large current (10 mA for typical material parameters). A quality factor larger than 10^{4} is predicted in the large current limit, which is two orders of magnitude larger than the recently observed experimental value.

Integer Generalized Splines on Cycles
Let G be a graph whose edges are labeled by positive integers. Label each vertex with an integer and suppose if two vertices are joined by an edge, the vertex labels are congruent to each other modulo the edge label. The set of vertex labels satisfying this condition is called a generalized spline. Gilbert, Polster, and Tymoczko recently defined generalized splines based on work on polynomial splines by Billera, Rose, Haas, Goresky-Kottwitz-Machperson, and many others. We focus on generalized splines on $n$-cycles. We construct a particularly nice basis for the module of splines on $n$-cycles. As an application, we construct generalized splines on star graphs, wheel graphs, and complete graphs.

Proof of the Riemannian Penrose Inequality with Charge for Multiple Black Holes
We present a proof of the Riemannian Penrose inequality with charge in the context of asymptotically flat initial data sets for the Einstein-Maxwell equations, having possibly multiple black holes with no charged matter outside the horizon, and satisfying the relevant dominant energy condition. The proof is based on a generalization of Hubert Bray's conformal flow of metrics adapted to this setting.

Enhanced synchronization in an array of spin torque nano oscillators in the presence of oscillating external magnetic field
We demonstrate that the synchronization of an array of electrically coupled spin torque nano-oscillators (STNO) modelled by Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert-Slonczewski (LLGS) equation can be enhanced appreciably in the presence of a common external microwave magnetic field. The applied microwave magnetic field stabilizes and enhances the regions of synchronization in the parameter space of our analysis, where the oscillators are exhibiting synchronized oscillations thereby emitting improved microwave power. To characterize the synchronized oscillations we have calculated the locking range in the domain of external source frequency.

We also discuss additional extensions to other matter models.

Quantum spin dynamics
The classical Landau-Lifshitz equation has been derived from quantum mechanics. Starting point is the assumption of a non-Hermitian Hamilton operator to take the energy dissipation into account. The corresponding quantum mechanical time dependent Schr\"odinger, Liouville and Heisenberg equation have been described and the similarities and differences between classical and quantum mechanical spin dynamics have been discussed. Furthermore, a time dependent Schr\"odinger equation corresponding to the classical Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation and two ways to include temperature into the quantum mechanical spin dynamics have been proposed.

Role of Magnetic Field in Self-Oscillation of Nanomagnet Excited by Spin Torque
The critical current of the self-oscillation of spin torque oscillator (STO) consisting of a perpendicularly magnetized free layer and an in-plane magnetized pinned layer was studied by solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation. We found that the critical current diverged at certain field directions, indicating that the self-oscillation does not occur at these directions. It was also found that the sign of the critical current changed depending on the applied field direction.

Memory functions of magnetic skyrmions
Magnetic skyrmion, a swirling spin texture, in chiral magnets is characterized by (i) nano-scale size ($\sim$1nm -- 100nm), (ii) topological stability, and (iii) gyro-dynamics. These features are shown to be advantageous for (a) high-density data-storage, (b) nonvolatile memory, and (c) ultra-low current and energy cost manipulation, respectively. By the numerical simulations of Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, the elementary functions of skyrmions are demonstrated aiming at the design principles of skyrmionic memory devices.

Energy dissipation in single-domain ferromagnetic nanoparticles: Dynamical approach
We study, both analytically and numerically, the phenomenon of energy dissipation in single-domain ferromagnetic nanoparticles driven by an alternating magnetic field. Our interest is focused on the power loss resulting from the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, which describes the precessional motion of the nanoparticle magnetic moment. We determine the power loss as a function of the field amplitude and frequency and analyze its dependence on different regimes of forced precession induced by circularly and linearly polarized magnetic fields. The conditions to maximize the nanoparticle heating are also analyzed.

The Positive Mass Theorem for Multiple Rotating Charged Black Holes
In this paper a lower bound for the ADM mass is given in terms of the angular momenta and charges of black holes present in axisymmetric initial data sets for the Einstein-Maxwell equations. This generalizes the mass-angular momentum-charge inequality obtained by Chrusciel and Costa to the case of multiple black holes. We also weaken the hypotheses used in the proof of this result for single black holes, and establish the associated rigidity statement.

In this paper we extend the bound to the case of irregular and generalized LDPC codes over GF(q). The comparison to the lower bound for LDPC codes over GF(q) and to the upper bound for non-binary codes is done. The new bound is shown to lie under the Gilbert-Varshamov bound at high rates.

Impact of Current on Static and Kinetic Depinning Fields of Domain Wall in Ferromagnetic Nanostrip
The impact of current on static and kinetic depinning fields of a domain wall in an one dimensional ferromagnetic nanostrip is investigated by solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation with adiabatic and non-adiabatic spin-transfer torques analytically and numerically. The results show that in the absence of current, the static depinning field is greater than the kinetic depinning field and both the depinning fields decrease by the increase of current applied in a direction opposite to the direction of the applied field. Both the depinning fields can also be tuned by the current to make them equal.

Critical analysis and remedy of switching failures in straintronic logic using Bennett clocking in the presence of thermal fluctuations
Straintronic logic is a promising platform for beyond Moore's law computing. Using Bennett clocking mechanism, information can propagate through an array of strain-mediated multiferroic nanomagnets exploiting the dipolar coupling between the magnets without having to physically interconnect them. Here we perform a critical analysis of switching failures, i.e., error in information propagation due to thermal fluctuations through a chain of such straintronic devices. We solved stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation considering room-temperature thermal perturbations and show that magnetization switching may fail due to inherent magnetization dynamics accompanied by thermally broadened switching delay distribution. Avenues available to circumvent such issue are proposed.

Landauer limit of energy dissipation in a magnetostrictive particle
According to Landauer's principle, a minimum amount of energy proportional to temperature must be dissipated during the erasure of a classical bit of information compensating the entropy loss, thereby linking the information and thermodynamics. Here we show that the Landauer limit of energy dissipation is achievable in a shape-anisotropic single-domain magnetostrictive nanomagnet having two mutually anti-parallel degenerate magnetization states that store a bit of information. We model the magnetization dynamics using stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation in the presence of thermal fluctuations and show that on average the Landauer bound is satisfied, i.e., it accords to the generalized Landauer's principle for small systems with stochastic fluctuations.

Pseudo-Spin Based Dynamical Model for Polarisation Switching in Ferroelectrics
A microscopic view of the response of the electric dipoles to a dynamic external field in a ferroelectric (FE) chain has been studied by two spin dynamics methods. One is the prominent micromagnetic approach, and the other is the micromagnetic approach with a variable size of the pseudo-spin. The energy stored in the ferroelectric chain is described by the transverse Ising model (TIM) with electric pseudo-spins. The simulations are based on a modified Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation which is precession free. The results obtained are shown and compared with the result supplemented by Landau-Devonshire (L-D) theory in the Appendix.

It is shown that the duals are also such codes and an explicit formula is given.

We explore the extent to which these logics can be characterized, and prove a general completeness theorem on the basis of a translation between normal modal logics and their reflexive-insensitive counterparts. Lastly, we provide a sufficient semantic condition describing when a similarly general soundness result is also available.

A composite multiferroic chain with an interfacial linear magneto-electric coupling is used to study the magnetic and electric responses to an external magnetic or electric field. The simulation uses continuous spin dynamics through the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equations of the magnetic spin and the electric pseudo-spin. The results demonstrate an accurate description of the distribution of the magnetisation and polarisation are induced by applied electric and magnetic field, respectively.

Reaction diffusion dynamics and the Schryer-Walker solution for domain walls of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation
We study the dynamics of the equation obtained by Schryer and Walker for the motion of domain walls. The reduced equation is a reaction diffusion equation for the angle between the applied field and the magnetization vector. If the hard axis anisotropy $K_d$ is much larger than the easy axis anisotropy $K_u$, there is a range of applied fields where the dynamics does not select the Schryer-Walker solution. We give analytic expressions for the speed of the domain wall in this regime and the conditions for its existence.

Dynamic Response in a Finite Size Composite Multiferroic Thin Film
Composite multiferroics, heterostructures of ferromagnetic (FM) and ferroelectric (FE) materials, are characterized by a remarkable magnetoelectric effect at the interface. Previous work has supported the ferromagnetic structure with magnetic spins and the ferroelectric with pseudospins which act as electric dipoles in a microscopic model, coupled with a magnetoelectric interaction [J. Appl. Phys. 118, 124109 (2015)]. In this work, by solving the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, the electric-field-induced magnetization switching in a twisted boundary condition has been studied, and a behavior of domain wall in the ferromagnetic structure is discussed.

In this paper we consider the simultaneous percolation of two Gilbert disk models. The two models are connected through excluding disks, which prevent elements of the second model to be in the vicinity of the first model. Under these assumptions we characterize the region of densities in which the two models both have a unique infinite connected component. The motivation for this work is the co-existence of two cognitive radio networks.

The Eddy Current-LLG Equations-Part I: FEM-BEM Coupling
We analyse a numerical method for the coupled system of the eddy current equations in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation in a bounded domain. The unbounded domain is discretised by means of finite-element/boundary-element coupling. Even though the considered problem is strongly nonlinear, the numerical approach is constructed such that only two linear systems per time step have to be solved. In this first part of the paper, we prove unconditional weak convergence (of a subsequence) of the finite-element solutions towards a weak solution. A priori error estimates will be presented in the second part.

Thereby, we obtain a simultaneous generalization of corresponding results for groups, by Kellendonk and Lawson, and for monoids, by Megrelishvili and Schroder. We apply this result to the special case of partial groupoid actions where we obtain a sharpening of a result by Gilbert, concerning ordered groupoids, in the sense that mediating functions between universal globalizations always are injective.

The magnetooptical Kerr effect (MOKE) and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) measurements show up the essentially non-collinear state of magnetic moments of the layers and strong exchange coupling between CoPt and Co subsystems. The estimation of effective anisotropy and exchange coupling in a simple model based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation describing magnetization dynamics was performed.

Tailoring the topological details of the magnetic skyrmion by the spin configuration at the edges
The magnetic skyrmion structure can be formed in the chiral magnets (CMs) with strong Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions. In this work, we propose a way of artificially tailoring the topological details of the skyrmion such as its radial and whirling symmetric patterns by external magnetic fields besieging the CM slab. As long as the boundary magnetic fields are strong enough to fix the boundary ferromagnetism, the attained skyrmion profile is stable over time. The dynamics of spins is considered by numerically solving the non-equilibrium Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation.

Entanglement manipulation by a magnetic pulse in Gd3N@C80 endohedral metallofullerenes on a Cu(001) surface
In this paper we present result of theoretical calculation of entanglement within a spin structure of Gd3N@C80 under the in uence of rectangular impulses. Research is conducted using general spin Hamiltonian within SSNQ (spin system of N-qubits). Calculation of entanglement with variable impulse is performed using the time-dependent Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation with spin-spin correlation function. We show that long rectangular impulse (t=850ps) can be used for maintaining of entanglement value. This allows us to offer a new algorithm which can be used to reduce the challenge of decoherence to logical scheme optimization.
