We present a new formulation of the dynamical matrix method for computing the magnetic normal modes of a large system, resulting in a highly scalable approach. The motion equation, which takes into account external field, dipolar and ferromagnetic exchange interactions, is rewritten in the form of a generalized eigenvalue problem without any additional approximation. For its numerical implementation several solvers have been explored, along with preconditioning methods. This reformulation was conceived to extend the study of magnetization dynamics to a broader class of finer-mesh systems, such as three-dimensional, irregular or defective structures, which in recent times raised the interest among researchers. To test its effectiveness, we applied the method to investigate the magnetization dynamics of a hexagonal artificial spin-ice as a function of a geometric distortion parameter following the Fibonacci sequence. We found several important features characterizing the low frequency spin modes as the geometric distortion is gradually increased.

A group theoretical analysis is carried out on the symmetry properties of the normal modes of vibration of crystals with the calcite and α-corundum structures. Both of these structures have the space group [Formula: see text]. The symmetry species present in the dispersion curves are determined for important wave vectors, and a transformation to block-diagonalize the dynamical matrix at the zone center is given.

ABSTRACTWe study the atomic vibrational dynamics in silica glass (a-SiO2) using molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations and classical lattice dynamics method. The SiO2 glasses were generated by molecular-dynamics and steepest-descent quench (SDQ) using an effective interatomic potential consisting of two-body and three-body interactions. The frequency and eigenvectors of vibrational normal modes are obtained by diagonalization of the dynamical matrix. The partial and total vibrational density of states (DOS), bond-projected DOS, participation ratio (PR), and neutron-weighted dynamic structure factor are calculated. The results are compared with inelastic neutron scattering experiments on SiO2 glass.

Two micromagnetic tools to study the spin dynamics are reviewed. Both approaches are based upon the so-called dynamical matrix method, a hybrid micromagnetic framework used to investigate the spin-wave normal modes of confined magnetic systems. The approach which was formulated first is the Hamiltonian-based dynamical matrix method. This method, used to investigate dynamic magnetic properties of conservative systems, was originally developed for studying spin excitations in isolated magnetic nanoparticles and it has been recently generalized to study the dynamics of periodic magnetic nanoparticles. The other one, the Lagrangian-based dynamical matrix method, was formulated as an extension of the previous one in order to include also dissipative effects. Such dissipative phenomena are associated not only to intrinsic but also to extrinsic damping caused by injection of a spin current in the form of spin-transfer torque. This method is very accurate in identifying spin modes that become unstable under the action of a spin current. The analytical development of the system of the linearized equations of motion leads to a complex generalized Hermitian eigenvalue problem in the Hamiltonian dynamical matrix method and to a non-Hermitian one in the Lagrangian approach. In both cases, such systems have to be solved numerically.

A honeycomb array of domain walls such as is found in incommensurate phases of rare-gas monolayers on graphite is shown to vibrate as an interconnected network of strings. The vibrational modes of the network are determined by the vertices, which provide the boundary conditions for the domain-wall segments. The dynamical matrix is constructed and solved for the normal modes. The krypton on graphite system is used as a test to the theory. A Hamiltonian is constructed for the domain-wall network and the amplitude of the lowest energy mode, the breathing mode, is discussed.
