We consider a small metallic particle (quantum dot) where ferromagnetism arises as a consequence of Stoner instability. When the particle is connected to electrodes, exchange of electrons between the particle and the electrodes leads to a temperature- and bias-driven Brownian motion of the direction of the particle magnetization. Under certain conditions this Brownian motion is described by the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. As an example of its application, we calculate the frequency-dependent magnetic susceptibility of the particle in a constant external magnetic field, which is relevant for ferromagnetic resonance measurements.
