Spin dynamics of magnetic nanoparticles: Beyond Brown’s theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
An investigation of thermally induced spin dynamics of magnetic nanoparticles is presented. We use an atomistic model for the magnetic interactions within an effective, classical spin Hamiltonian constructed on the basis of first-principles calculations for L10 FePt. Using Langevin dynamics we investigate how the internal degrees of freedom affect the switching behavior at elevated temperatures. We find significant deviations from a single-spin model, arising from the temperature dependence of the intrinsic properties, from longitudinal magnetization fluctuations, and from both thermal and athermal finite-size effects. These findings underline the importance of atomistic simulations for the understanding of fast magnetization dynamics.

Dynamics of a nanoparticle as a one-spin system and beyond
We review some recent results beyond the now established theory of magnetization switching of a nanoparticle within the single-spin approximation. The first extension is that of the Stoner-Wohlfarth model for magnetization static switching under applied magnetic field including the effect of temperature at long-time scales. The second concerns a generalization of the Néel-Brown model for thermo...

In this paper we investigate the effect of a random transverse field, distributed according to a trimodal distribution, on the phase diagram and magnetic properties of a two-dimensional lattice (square with z=4), ferromagnetic Ising system consisting of magnetic atoms with spin-1. This study is done using the effectivefield theory (EFT) with correlations method. The equations are derived using...

Within the effective-field theory with correlations (EFT), a transverse random field spin-1 Ising model on the simple cubic (z=6) lattice is studied.

متن کاملA ug 2 00 1 Real space application of the mean - field description of spin glass dynamics
The out of equilibrium dynamics of finite dimensional spin glasses is considered from a point of view going beyond the standard ‘mean-field theory’ versus ‘droplet picture’ debate of the last decades. The main predictions of both theories concerning the spin glass dynamics are discussed. It is shown, in particular, that predictions originating from mean-field ideas concerning the violations of ...
