Spin Dynamics Simulation of the Magneto-Electric Effect in a Composite Multiferroic Chain

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2015-08-25 v1

Abstract

A composite multiferroic chain with an interfacial linear magneto-electric coupling is used to study the magnetic and electric responses to an external magnetic or electric field. The simulation uses continuous spin dynamics through the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equations of the magnetic spin and the electric pseudo-spin. The results demonstrate an accurate description of the distribution of the magnetisation and polarisation are induced by applied electric and magnetic field, respectively.
