Magnetic moment of inertia within the torque-torque correlation model

Abstract An essential property of magnetic devices is the relaxation rate in magnetic switching which strongly depends on the energy dissipation. This is described by the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation and the well known damping parameter, which has been shown to be reproduced from quantum mechani...

description Abstract An essential property of magnetic devices is the relaxation rate in magnetic switching which strongly depends on the energy dissipation.
