Abstract:
By considering inertial effects in a field-dependent relaxational model, we show that noise may induce collective oscillatory dynamics. In agreement with the recently introduced idea of noise-induced multistability, we show that there is a region in parameter space where such behavior depends on the initial condition. Moreover, when the coupling term leads to pattern formation by means of a morphological instability a la Swift-Hohenberg, [J. Buceta, M. Ibañes, J. M. Sancho, and K. Lindenberg, Phys. Rev. E 67, 021113 (2003) and K. Wood, J. Buceta, and K. Lindenberg, Phys. Rev. E 73, 022101 (2006)] our numerical simulations reveal that spatio-temporal oscillatory structures develop.

In spin–lattice or longitudinal relaxation, the excited spins exchange energy with the surrounding lattice as they return to the lower energy level. Among several mechanisms that contribute to spin–lattice relaxation, magnetic dipolar interactions are significant. Here, the excited nucleus transfers energy to a nearby...
