Abstract

A general approach to the derivation of effective anisotropy fields for Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert dynamics is presented. The approach is based on the gradient in spherical polar coordinates with the final results being expressed in Cartesian coordinates as usually applied in atomistic and micromagnetic model calculations. The approach is generally valid for all orders of anisotropies including higher order combinations of azimuthal and rotational anisotropies often found in functional magnetic materials especially permanent magnets. The anisotropies are represented in terms of spherical harmonics which have the important property of rational temperature scaling.
