Energy dissipation is studied for a hard magnetic tip that scans a soft magnetic substrate. The dynamics of the atomic moments are simulated by solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation numerically. The local energy currents are analysed for the case of a Heisenberg spin chain taken as substrate. This leads to an explanation for the velocity dependence of the friction force: The non-linear contribution for high velocities can be attributed to a spin wave front pushed by the tip along the substrate.

The mitotic spindle lies at the heart of the spatio-temporal control over cellular components during cell division. The spindle consists of microtubules, which are not only crosslinked by motor proteins but also by passive binding proteins. These pas sive crosslinkers stabilize the highly dynamic mitotic spindle by generating friction forces between sliding filaments. However, it remains unclear how the friction coefficient depends on the number of crosslinkers and the size of the overlap between the microtubules. Here, we use theory and computer simulations to study the friction between two filaments that are crosslinked by passive proteins, which can hop between neighboring binding sites while physically excluding each other. The simulations reveal that the movement of one microtubule relative to the other is limited by free-energy barrier crossings, causing rare and discrete jumps of the microtubule that span the distance between adjacent crosslinker binding sites. We derive an exact analytical expression for the free-energy landscape and identify the reaction coordinate that governs the relative movement, which allows us to determine the effective barrier height for the microtubule jumps. Both through simulations and reaction rate theory, we make the experimentally testable prediction that the friction between the microtubules increases superexponentially with the density of crosslinkers.
We develop a consistent semiclassical theory of spin dynamics for an isotropic ferromagnet with a spin $ S=1$ taking into consideration both bilinear and biquadratic over spin operators exchange interaction. For such non-Heisenberg magnets, a peculia r class of spin oscillations and waves, for which the quantum spin expectation value $ {rm {bf m}}=<{rm {bf S}}>$ does not change it direction, but changes in length, is presented. Such ``longitudinal excitations do not exist in regular magnets, dynamics of which are described in terms of the Landau-Lifshitz equation or by means of the spin Heisenberg Hamiltonian. We demonstrate the presence of non-linear uniform oscillations and waves, as well as self-localized dynamical excitations (solitons) with finite energy. A possibility of excitation of such oscillations by ultrafast laser pulse is discussed.
The antiferromagnetic molecular finite chain Cr6 was studied by inelastic neutron scattering. The observed magnetic excitations at 2.6 and 4.3 meV correspond, due to the open boundaries of a finite chain, to standing spin waves. The determined energy spectrum revealed an essentially classical spin structure. Hence, various spin-wave theories were investigated in order to assess their potential for describing the elementary excitations of finite spin systems.
We theoretically study the effect of exchange interaction on the non-equilibrium spin waves in disordered paramagnetic metals under the spin injection condition. We show that the gapless spectrum of spin waves, describing the spin precession in the a bsence of the applied magnetic field, changes sign to negative on the paramagnetic side near the ferromagnet - paramagnet phase transition. The damping of spin waves is small in the limit when electron-electron exchange energy is larger than the inverse electron mean free time, while in the opposite limit the propagation of spin waves is strongly suppressed. We discuss the amplification of the electromagnetic field by the non-equilibrium spin waves.

We have reformulated the quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) technique so that a large part of the calculation scales linearly with the number of atoms. The reformulation is related to a recent alternative proposal for achieving linear-scaling QMC, based on ma ximally localized Wannier orbitals (MLWO), but has the advantage of greater simplicity. The technique we propose draws on methods recently developed for linear-scaling density functional theory. We report tests of the new technique on the insulator MgO, and show that its linear-scaling performance is somewhat better than that achieved by the MLWO approach. Implications for the application of QMC to large complex systems are pointed out.
