An analysis of a single-domain magnetic needle (MN) in the presence of an external magnetic field B is carried out with the aim of achieving a high-precision magnetometer. We determine the uncertainty ΔB of such a device due to Gilbert dissipation and the associated internal magnetic field fluctuations that give rise to diffusion of the MN axis direction n and the needle orbital angular momentum. The levitation of the MN in a magnetic trap and its stability are also analyzed.
