Description
We investigate the magnetization dynamics of a conducting magnetic nanoparticle weakly coupled to source and drain electrodes, under the assumption that all relaxation comes from exchange of electrons with the electrodes. The magnetization dynamics is characterized by a relaxation time $t_1$, which strongly depends on temperature, bias voltage, and gate voltage. While a direct measure of a nanoparticle magnetization might be difficult, we find that $t_1$ can be determined through a time resolved transport measurement. For a suitable choice of gate voltage and bias voltage, the magnetization performs a bias-driven Brownian motion regardless of the presence of anisotropy.
