RT Journal Article T1 Stochastic vortex dynamics in two-dimensional easy-plane ferromagnets: Multiplicative versus additive noise A1 Kamppeter, Till A1 Mertens, Franz G. A1 Moro, Esteban A1 Sánchez, Angel A1 Bishop, Alan R. AB We study how thermal fluctuations affect the dynamics of vortices in the two-dimensional classical, ferromagnetic,anisotropic Heisenberg model depending on their additive or multiplicative character. Using acollective coordinate theory, we analytically show that multiplicative noise, arising from fluctuations in thelocal-field term of the Landau-Lifshitz equations, and Langevin-like additive noise both have the same effecton vortex dynamics ~within a very plausible assumption consistent with the collective coordinate approach!.This is a nontrivial result, as multiplicative and additive noises usually modify the dynamics quite differently.We also carry out numerical simulations of both versions of the model finding that they indeed give rise to verysimilar vortex dynamics.
