Abstract
.We consider stochastic rotational dynamics of a macrospin at a constant temperature, in the presence of an external magnetic field. Starting from the appropriate Langevin equation, which contains multiplicative noise, we calculate entropy production (EP) along stochastic trajectories, and obtain fluctuation theorems. The system remains inherently out of equilibrium due to a spin torque supporting an azimuthal current, leading to an excess EP in addition to the EP due to heat dissipation. The anomaly may be removed using a redefinition of dissipated heat and stochastic work done. Using numerical simulations, we obtain distribution functions for EP along stochastic trajectories to find good agreement with the detailed fluctuation theorem.
