Pseudospectral method resolves atomic scale dynamics

We have published a new continuum method that resolves atomic-scale magnetization dynamics with good accuracy. The method is pseudospectral and so is amenable to analytical calculation. Limiting cases of modulational instability (a long-wave phenomenon) and transient grating (a regime where long and short waves co-exist) were resolved in excellent agreement with atomistic spin dynamics. We expect this model to be the foundational stone for a better modeling of topological textures.

Fantastic work by Kyle Rockwell on this research and special thanks to our international collaborators Joel Hirst and Thomas Ostler.
