PROJECT OUTLINE:
The textbook cartoon of a ferromagnet, such as Iron, has all the
microscopic magnetic moments aligned with one another. In fact this
does not happen – in ferromagnets the moments align inside regions
called domains, but can point in different directions in different domains.
In this project you will look at one of the general causes of such domain
structure, by developing and studying computer simulations of a simple
model of a magnet. You would need to be confident that you can write a
C++ program using the vector template and nested loops, plot your
results effectively, and be happy working with very simplified models
This Project is available on: Thurs/Fri
