We establish the behavior of the energy of minimizers of non-local Ginzburg-Landau energies with Coulomb repulsion in two space dimensions near the onset of multi-droplet patterns. Under suitable scaling of the background charge density with vanishing surface tension the non-local Ginzburg-Landau energy becomes asymptotically equivalent to a sharp interface energy with screened Coulomb interaction. Near the onset the minimizers of the sharp interface energy consist of nearly identical circular droplets of small size separated by large distances. In the limit the droplets become uniformly distributed throughout the domain. The precise asymptotic limits of the bifurcation threshold, the minimal energy, the droplet radii, and the droplet density are obtained.

A Quantitative Description of Skyrmions in Ultrathin Ferromagnetic Films and Rigidity of Degree ± 1 Harmonic Maps from R2 to S2

Anne Bernand-Mantel, Cyrill B. Muratov, Theresa M. Simon

Summary: This study characterizes skyrmions in ultrathin ferromagnetic films as local minimizers of a reduced micromagnetic energy suitable for quasi two-dimensional materials. The research demonstrates the existence of minimizers within a specific range of model parameters, and investigates the asymptotic profiles of skyrmions in the conformal limit. Additionally, a quantitative rigidity result for harmonic maps is obtained as a byproduct of the analysis.

Conducting Flat Drops in a Confining Potential

Cyrill B. Muratov, Matteo Novaga, Berardo Ruffini

Summary: We study a geometric variational problem that models the behavior of two-dimensional charged drops in the presence of an external potential. The semicontinuous envelope of the energy is characterized by a parameter measuring the relative strength of the Coulomb interaction. We demonstrate the existence and regularity estimates for volume-constrained minimizers when the potential is confining and the Coulomb repulsion strength is below a critical value. We also derive the Euler-Lagrange equation satisfied by regular critical points, expressing the first variation of the Coulombic energy in terms of the normal 1/2-derivative of the capacitary potential.

A micromagnetic theory of skyrmion lifetime in ultrathin ferromagnetic films

Anne Bernand-Mantel, Cyrill B. Muratov, Valeriy V. Slastikov

Summary: In this study, the continuum micromagnetic framework is used to derive formulas for compact skyrmion lifetime in ultrathin ferromagnetic films. The formulas take into account the effect of thermal noise and the relatively weak interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. When there is no saddle point connecting the skyrmion solution to the ferromagnetic state, the skyrmion collapse event is interpreted as capture by a microscale absorber.

THE MATHEMATICS OF THIN STRUCTURES

Jean-Francois Babadjian, Giovanni Di Fratta, Irene Fonseca, Gilles A. Francfort, Marta Lewicka, Cyrill B. Muratov

Summary: This article presents mathematical contributions to the behavior of thin films. It focuses on viewing thin film behavior as the variational limit of a three-dimensional domain, and explores the changes in behavior when the thickness of the domain approaches zero. The article reviews the different regimes that can arise in the classical elastic case, and discusses various extensions of those initial results, including brittleness and delamination, micromagnetics, and the presence of pre-strain in the model.

Acoustic modes of a spherical thin-walled tank for liquid propellant mass gauging: Theory and experiment

Cyrill B. Muratov, Joseph Rogers, Michael Khasin

Summary: The acoustic response of a thin-walled spherical flight tank filled with water is studied as a testbed for the application of Weyl's law to measure propellant mass in zero-gravity conditions. The study shows that the liquid modes in the tank correspond to a slightly larger spherical tank with infinitely compliant wall, where Weyl's law can be directly applied.

Summary: We present a variational treatment of confined magnetic skyrmions and characterize their properties in the limit of vanishing DMI strength. The results show that the skyrmions are strongly repelled from the domain boundaries, providing them with stability desirable for applications.

Generation and Motion of Interfaces in a Mass-Conserving Reaction-Diffusion System

Pearson W. Miller, Daniel Fortunato, Matteo Novaga, Stanislav Y. Shvartsman, Cyrill B. Muratov

Summary: This paper investigates the cell polarization in reaction-diffusion models with nonlocal constraints under the limit of slow surface diffusion. By using formal asymptotics and calculus of variations, the characteristic behavior of this system on three dynamical timescales is studied. The results show that an interface separating high- and low-concentration domains can be generated under suitable conditions on the short timescale, and on the intermediate timescale, the domains exhibit uniform growth or shrinking to fixed sizes determined by global parameters. On the long timescale, the dynamics reduce to area-preserving geodesic curvature flow, potentially leading to multi-interface steady state solutions.
