Abstract
An exact equation for the matrix elements of the system of moments [the expectation values of the spherical harmonics ], which govern the kinetics of the magnetization of a single domain particle, is derived. This derivation is based on the representation of the stochastic Gilbert equation augmented by a random field and the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation for the distribution function of the orientations of in terms of the angular momentum operators and on the subsequent evaluation of the matrix elements in terms of the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients.
