All-optical switching in a ferromagnetic spin valve is studied here using atomistic spin drift-diffusion dynamics, which includes contributions from spin pumping and superdiffusive transport. We find the switching is governed principally by…

Heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) is a recent advancement in magnetic recording, allowing to significantly increase the areal density capability (ADC) of hard disk drives (HDDs) compared to the perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR)…

Here we study the effect of an additional interfacial spin-transfer torque, as well as the well established spin-orbit torque and bulk spin-transfer torque, on skyrmion collections - group of skyrmions dense enough that they are not…

Monte Carlo algorithms are frequently used in atomistic simulations, including for computation of magnetic parameter temperature dependences in multiscale simulations. Even though parallelization strategies for Monte Carlo simulations of…
