Abstract
The internal magnetic structures of a cylinder are computed
without prior assumption of the axial symmetry. Three-dimensional
magnetostatic solution is presented. Detailed distribution of the
magnetization is obtained through numerical integration of the
Landau-Lifshitz equation with the demagnetization field. Various entry
conditions were used. Materials with small uniaxial anisotropy demonstrate
typically vortex structures, while the higher anisotropy leads to formation
of concentric cylindrical magnetic bubbles inside the cylinder and monodomain
flower state.
