Micromagnetics models the physics of magnetic systems using partial differential equations to express quantities such as the magnetization, energy density, and effective field. The discretization of these equation onto a regular lattice produces anisotropy. Its impact is extensive and includes phenomena such as the energy-minimizing rotation of magnetic structures, preferred directions, and creating artificial magnetization structures.
Despite this, the consequences of discretization anisotropy and how to mitigate against it are rarely discussed in the context of micromagnetics. A thorough understanding of these effects is important for the accurate interpretation of simulation results and for enhancing the overall fidelity of micromagnetic modeling. In this work we focus on these errors introduced by using finite difference approximations in micromagnetic simulations.
