A first order phase transition and self-organizing states in unidomain   ferromagnet
  Unidomain ferromagnet during the first order phase transition induced by a magnetic field directed along the axis of anisotropy, has been analyzed. It is shown that there is continuous spectrum of stationary states, which depends of relation between acting field value and the demagnetisation field. At addition action of the periodic field perpendicular to the main magnetic field with a certain frequency, there are dynamic equilibrium state, ie "self-organizing states" of ferromagnet, when the entropy increase connected with dissipation is compensated by the negative entropy flow due to the periodic field. It is shown that under these conditions, by varying the frequency of the periodic field, we can control the self-organising system, ie decrease or increase the system energy and, correspondingly, change the direction of magnetisation in ferromagnet.
