1.2 Micromagnetic Equilibrium

In section 1.1.2 we recalled the fact that, for constant external field and temperature, the equilibria (i.e. metastable states) are given by the minima of the free energy (1.53). Remembering that $ \textbf{M}=M_s\textbf{{m}}$, the unknown will be the magnetization unit-vector field $ \textbf{{m}}$.
