Parameters

Geometrically we consider the part-spheres to have one flat surface when $ h<d$; in the case $ h=0.5d$ the geometry will resemble the half-sphere from section 5.2.

We perform the phase diagram studies using the material parameters for
Ni$ _{50}$Fe$ _{50}$ permalloy ($ M_s$ = 1.11$ \times$10$ ^6$ A/m, $ A$ = 5.85 $ \times10^{-12}$ J/m, $ K1$ = 0 J/m$ ^3$, see also appendix C) and a damping constant $ \alpha$ of 0.25 to improve convergence.
