Atomistic simulations of magnetoelastic effects on sound velocity
arXiv:2201.10368 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.105.134430
Abstract
In this work, we leverage atomistic spin-lattice simulations to examine how magnetic interactions impact the propagation of sound waves through a ferromagnetic material. To achieve this, we characterize the sound wave velocity in BCC iron, a prototypical ferromagnetic material, using three different approaches that are based on the oscillations of kinetic energy, finite-displacement derived forces, and corrections to the elastic constants, respectively. Successfully applying these methods within the spin-lattice framework, we find good agreement with the Simon effect including high order terms. In analogy to experiments, morphic coefficients associated with the transverse and longitudinal waves propagating along the [001] direction are extracted from fits to the fractional change in velocity data. The present efforts represent an advancement in magnetoelastic modelling capabilities which can expedite the design of future magneto-acoustic devices.
