Magnetism@home

Magnetism@home is a research project that uses Internet-connected computers to explore the equlibrium, metastable and transient magnetization patterns (first and foremost in nano-scale magnetic elements and their arrays, but later other systems may be considered).

To understand scientific side of things:

• Please see this preprint (latest and the most complete in this series of works) and references therein.
• In this project we evaluate numerically the total (exchange + magnetostatic) energy of these magnetization distributions (using finite elements and a special “thin film” variant of fast multipole method) with the aim to minimize this energy numerically to build maps of ground and metastable states in magnetic nano-elements of various shapes.
• The source code is here.
• Currently the program demonstrated sufficient precision for building the map of ground states. Improving its precision for resolving the metastable states is in progress.

The project is based at Donetsk Institute for Physics and Technology.
