A compactness result in thin-film micromagnetics and the optimality of the Néel wall
In this paper, we study a model for the magnetization in thin ferromagnetic films. It comes as a variational problem for -valued maps (the magnetization) of two variables : . We are interested in the behavior of minimizers as . They are expected to be -valued maps of vanishing distributional divergence , so that appropriate boundary conditions enforce line discontinuities. For finite , these line discontinuities are approximated by smooth transition layers, the so-called Néel walls. Néel...
