This paper describes the implementation of the fast Fourier transform on multipole (FFTM) algorithm for rapid calculation of magnetostatic fields in micromagnetics. The method is based on the multipole approximation theory, in which the computation-intensive transformation operations of the multipole in local expansions are accelerated by using FFT algorithms. Hence, this algorithm has the computational efficiency of the FFT-based approach, but is not confined to use in problems with regularly spaced elements.Index Terms-Fast Fourier transform on multipole (FFTM), magnetostatic fields, micromagnetic simulations, multipole approximations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
