Abstract:

In this paper, we aim at a reduced 2d-model describing the observable states of the magnetization in curved thin films. Under some technical assumptions on the geometry of the thin-film, it is well-known that the demagnetizing field behaves like the projection of the magnetization on the normal to the thin film. We remove these assumptions and show that the result holds for a broader class of surfaces; in particular, for compact surfaces. We treat both the stationary case, governed by the micromagnetic energy functional and the time-dependent case driven by the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation.
