MasterLongitudinalLLB

Calculates a residual contribution for the magnetic anisotropy energy.

Overview

We consider the residual and jacobian contributions due to the restoring force from the LLG-LLB approximation. The LLG-LLB equation is,

(1)

where we write in normalized form,

where is the longitudinal damping constant. Moving over the RHS, multiplying both sides by a test function , integrating over the volume, and isolating the the LLB term we have,

Therefore, in index notation, the residual contribution for is simply,

with the on- and off-diagonal jacobian contributions calculated via,

with the shape function from the finite element method. Note that the last term of this equation is only nonzero if we are computing the on-diagonal jacobian entry in the case of .
