Thermal switching rate of a ferromagnetic material with uniaxial
anisotropy
   [PDF]

Tomohiro Taniguchi, Hiroshi Imamura
The field dependence of the thermal switching rate of a ferromagnetic
material with uniaxial anisotropy was studied by solving the Fokker-Planck
equation. We derived the analytical expression of the thermal switching rate
using the mean first-passage time approach, and found that Brown's formula
[Phys. Rev. 130, 1677 (1963)] is applicable even in the low barrier limit by
replacing the attempt frequency with the proper factor which is expressed by
the error function.
