Pseudo-spectral Landau-Lifshitz description of magnetization dynamics
arXiv:2312.14068 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.109.L180404
Abstract
Magnetic materials host a wealth of nonlinear dynamics, textures, and topological defects. This is possible due to the competition between strong nonlinearity and dispersion that act at the atomic scale as well as long-range interactions. However, these features are difficult to analytically and numerically study because of the vastly different temporal and spatial scales involved. Here, we present a pseudo-spectral approach for the Landau-Lifshitz equation that invokes energy and momentum conservation embodied in the magnon dispersion relation to accurately describe both atomic and continuum limits. Furthermore, this approach enables analytical study at every scale. We show the applicability of this model in both the continuum and atomic limit by investigating modulational instability and ultrafast evolution of magnetization due to transient grating, respectively, in a 1D ferromagnetic chain with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. This model provides the possibility of grid-independent multiscale numerical approaches that will enable the description of singularities within a single framework.
