Atomistic Spin Dynamics

A unified model of molecular and atomistic spin dynamics is presented enabling simulations both in microcanonical and canonical ensembles without the necessity of additional phenomenological spin damping. Transfer of energy and angular momentum between the lattice and the spin systems is achieved by a phenomenological coupling term representing the spin-orbit interaction.

It was nice early Christmas present that we heard that two of our recent submissions had been accepted. The first was invited article in Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics where we have been looking at hierarchical (or deep) echo state networks and how we can tune them to exhibit multiple timescales.

L10 FePt is a technologically important material for a range of novel data storage applications. In the ordered FePt structure the normally nonmagnetic Pt ion acquires a magnetic moment, which depends on the local field originating from the …
