51. The parallel initial state is metastable in the whole phase space including non-synchronition motion states. Thus, low thermal exciation or strong exchange interaction between two particles is required for such a initial state.
52. One might also consider a reversal process along the hard axis mx 1 to mx - 1 by applying a field along x direction. However, numerical simulations show that this synchronized motion becomes unstable for such an initial condition. This is different from the reversal process in scheme B (see text).
