Abstract

A numerical model of single-domain nanoscale iron magnets fabricated using scanning-microscope-assisted chemical vapor deposition is simulated using finite-temperature micromagnetics. A Projective-dynamics method is used to determine the magnetization at the saddle point as a function of temperature. This magnetization is found to decrease linearly as the temperature is raised.
