Numerical Calculation of Magnetic form Factors of Complex Shape Nano-Particles Coupled with Micromagnetic Simulations

AbstractWe investigate the calculation of the magnetic form factors of nano-objects with complex geometrical shapes and non homogeneous magnetization distributions. We describe a numerical procedure which allows to calculate the 3D mag- netic form factor of nano-objects from realistic magnetization distributions obtained by micromagnetic calculations. This is illustrated in the canonical cases of spheres, rods and platelets. This work is a first step towards a 3D vectorial reconstruction of the magnetization at the nanometric scale using neutron scattering techniques
