THERMALLY INDUCED TRANSITIONS AND MINIMUM ENERGY PATHS FOR MAGNETIC SYSTEMS

E.V. Alexandrov – ITMO University, St. Petersburg, Russia; aloraman@live.com

Thermally induced magnetic transitions are rare events as compared with vibrations of individual magnetic moments. Timescales for these processes differ by 10 orders of magnitude or more. Therefore, the standard Monte-Carlo simulation is not suitable for the theoretical description of such phenomena. However, a statistical approach based on transition state theory is applicable for calculations of the transition rates. It presupposes finding the minimum energy path (MEP) between stable magnetic states on the multidimensional energy surface of the system. A modification of the Nudged Elastic Band (NEB) method for finding the energy barriers between states is suggested. A barrier on the energy surface corresponds to the difference between maximum energy along the MEP (highest saddle point) and the initial state minimum. The NEB procedure is implemented for spin rotations in Cartesian representation with geometric constraint on the magnitude of the magnetic moment. In this case, the effective magnetic forces are restricted to the tangent plane of the magnetic momentum vector.

Keywords: Potential energy surface, minimum energy path, nudged elastic band method, numerical optimization, quick minmode.

  2. Howdy! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would be ok. I’m definitely enjoying your blog and look forward to new updates.

  3. Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.

  4. Good ?V I should certainly pronounce, impressed with your web site. I had no trouble navigating through all the tabs as well as related information ended up being truly simple to do to access. I recently found what I hoped for before you know it in the least. Quite unusual. Is likely to appreciate it for those who add forums or anything, web site theme . a tones way for your client to communicate. Nice task..

  5. Very interesting points you have noted, thanks for posting. “‘Tis an ill wind that blows no minds.” by Malaclypse the Younger.

  6. With every thing that seems to be developing within this particular subject material, a significant percentage of viewpoints are relatively stimulating. Even so, I am sorry, because I can not give credence to your entire strategy, all be it exhilarating none the less. It seems to me that your opinions are not totally validated and in reality you are generally yourself not even completely convinced of the argument. In any case I did appreciate reading through it.

  7. I’m really loving the theme/design of your web site. Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility issues? A small number of my blog visitors have complained about my site not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Firefox. Do you have any advice to help fix this problem?

  8. Hi , I do believe this is an excellent blog. I stumbled upon it on Yahoo , i will come back once again. Money and freedom is the best way to change, may you be rich and help other people.

  9. After all, what a great site and informative posts, I will upload inbound link – bookmark this web site? Regards, Reader.

  10. Some times its a pain in the ass to read what blog owners wrote but this web site is very user pleasant! .

  11. My spouse and I stumbled over here coming from a different website and thought I might check things out. I like what I see so now i am following you. Look forward to finding out about your web page yet again.

  12. Someone essentially help to make seriously articles I would state. This is the first time I frequented your website page and thus far? I amazed with the research you made to create this particular publish incredible. Magnificent job!

  13. I am continuously searching online for articles that can facilitate me. Thanks!

  14. I love it when people come together and share opinions, great blog, keep it up.

  15. Simply a smiling visitant here to share the love (:, btw great layout. “Individuals may form communities, but it is institutions alone that can create a nation.” by Benjamin Disraeli.

  16. Hey there! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and say I truly enjoy reading your blog posts. Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that deal with the same topics? Appreciate it!
