Hi everyone,

Currently I'm trying to reproduce the FMR of a microwire using vampire. I tried so many days long, but fail to reproduce it as I am new in FMR. I am providing the figureWhatsApp Image 2025-07-23 at 18.44.14_29554e6b.jpg of the setup and the paper . The figure caption is , " Experimental setup. DC (current source and voltmeter) and RF (microwave generator and power sensor) electronics are connected to the Ni36Fe64 wire using a bias tee. "

I fail to set the geometry (wire/cylinder shape), and apply the fields.

If anyone help me to reproduce the MW absorption vs applied field , it would be helpful for me.

Thank you,
A vampire user

Figure 3.1 from T. Dion's dissertation titled "Study of High Frequency Magnetisation Dynamics in Artificial Nanomagnets Using Micromagnetic Simulation and Spin Wave Spectroscopy" [1] might be helpful:

Figure 3.1.png

In the figure, you can see the LLG-based simulator mumax3 [2].  In the equation (1) of the VAMPIRE article titled "Model of damping and anisotropy at elevated temperatures: application to granular FePt films" by M. Strungaru et. al., you should see that VAMPIRE is also LLG-based.  Thus, I think you could substitute muxmax3 for VAMPIRE.

An issue for VAMPIRE, though, is that it does not output an ovf file.

A good thing about the ovf file is that its file format comes from oommf.  Therefore, the data format of the file is known and available at [4].  Thus, it is potential possible for someone to write code, such as with C++ or Python, that can take the output data from VAMPIRE and convert to or generate an ovf file.

Programs such as OOMMFTools [5] or ovf2mat [6] could then be used to convert from the ovf file to a mat file for use with Matlab.

Alternatively, it looks like OOMMFTools can help convert ovf to a numpy array.  The Python FMR code examples in M. Kügle's thesis titled "Micromagnetic simulation of nanogratings as possible devices for unidirectional spin wave propagation" [7] might be of interest for that approach.

A couple past posts to this group in which you might find some other helpful FMR information are [8] and [9].
