A detailed study of the Counter-Rotating Model (CRM) for generic electrostatic (magnetostatic) axially symmetric thin disks without radial pressure is presented. We find a general constraint over the counter-rotating tangential velocities needed to cast the surface energy-momentum tensor of the disk as the superposition of two counter-rotating charged dust fluids. We then show that this constra...

We report on magnetic bias in biphase systems arising from by dipolarlike interaction. Composites consist of amorphous ribbons and wires prepared by rapid solidification techniques, surrounded by an electroplated layer. Amorphous metallic core is Co0.94Fe0.06 72.5Si12.5B15 with ultrasoft magnetic behavior coercivity of 10–10−1 A/m , and the electroplated coating is crystalline Co85Ni15 alloy wi...

We summarize recent theoretical and experimental work in the field of magnetic small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) of bulk ferromagnets. The response of the magnetization to spatially inhomogeneous magnetic anisotropy and magnetostatic stray fields is computed using linearized micromagnetic theory, and the ensuing spin-misalignment SANS is deduced. Analysis of experimental magnetic-field-depe...

We have studied the behavior of interlayer coupling in giant magnetoresistance spin valves as a function of seed layer composition and spacer layer thickness. Using in situ scanning tunneling microscopy, we have measured directly the roughness of the top surface of the lower ferromagnetic layer. We find that the seed layer composition is correlated to the roughnesses of the interfaces inside th...

We analyze the spectrum of a certain singular integral operator on the space (L2(fi))3 where fi is contained in three dimensional Euclidean space and has a Lipschitz continuous boundary. This operator arises in the integral formulation of the magnetostatic field problem. We decompose (L2(fi))3 into invariant subspaces: in one where the operator is the zero map; in one, the identity map; and in ...

A balancing domain decomposition (BDD) method is considered as a preconditioner of the iterative domain decomposition method (DDM) for magnetostatic problems. The BDD method enables us to keep convergence properties of the iterative DDM even if the number of subdomains increases. However, in case of magnetostatic problems, the dimension of the coarse problem required in the BDD procedure depend...
