Inertial dynamics in magnetic materials, described by the inertial Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, alter spin wave dispersion. This study quantifies these effects in altermagnets, revealing significant resonance shifts and new modes in hematite.
Area of Science:
- Condensed Matter Physics
- Materials Science
- Spintronics
Background:
- The Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation models spin dynamics, assuming parallel spin and magnetic moments.
- Ultrafast phenomena may cause spin and magnetic moments to separate, leading to inertial dynamics.
- This inertial effect can modify spin wave dispersion in magnetic materials.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the impact of inertial dynamics on magnetic resonances.
- To compute the eigenmodes of altermagnetic materials using the inertial LLG equation.
- To analyze the influence of nutation on magnetic resonance frequencies and modes.
Main Methods:
- Application of linear spin wave theory.
- Utilizing the inertial Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation.
- Computation of eigenmodes for SmErFeO3 and α-Fe2O3.
Main Results:
- The inertial LLG equation was applied to altermagnetic materials.
- Hematite (α-Fe2O3) showed the most significant influence of nutation on magnetic resonances.
- Observed resonance frequency shifts and additional nutational resonances in hematite.
Conclusions:
- Inertial dynamics significantly affect magnetic resonance properties, especially in materials like hematite.
- The study provides a quantitative analysis of inertial effects on spin waves.
- Further experimental investigations into the inertial parameter are encouraged.
