We present a methodology based on the N{e}el model to build a classical spin-lattice Hamiltonian for cubic crystals capable of describing magnetic properties induced by the spin-orbit coupling like magnetocrystalline anisotropy and anisotropic magnetostriction, as well as exchange magnetostriction. Taking advantage of the analytical solutions of the N{e}el model, we derive theoretical expressions for the parameterization of the exchange integrals and N{e}el dipole and quadrupole terms that link them to the magnetic properties of the material. This approach allows to build accurate spin-lattice models with the desire magnetoelastic properties. We also explore a possible way to model the volume dependence of magnetic moment based on the Landau energy. This new feature can allow to consider the effects of hydrostatic pressure on the saturation magnetization. We apply this method to develop a spin-lattice model for BCC Fe and FCC Ni, and we show that it accurately reproduces the experimental elastic tensor, magnetocrystalline anisotropy under pressure, anisotropic magnetostrictive coefficients, volume magnetostriction and saturation magnetization under pressure at zero-temperature. This work could constitute a step towards large-scale modeling of magnetoelastic phenomena.

The edge-cubic spin model on square lattice is studied via Monte Carlo simulation with cluster algorithm. By cooling the system, we found two successive symmetry breakings, i.e., the breakdown of $O_h$ into the group of $C_{3h}$ which then freezes in to ground state configuration. To characterize the existing phase transitions, we consider the magnetization and the population number as order parameters. We observe that the magnetization is good at probing the high temperature transition but fails in the analysis of the low temperature transition. In contrast the population number performs well in probing the low- and the high-$T$ transitions. We plot the temperature dependence of the moment and correlation ratios of the order parameters and obtain the high- and low-$T$ transitions at $T_h = 0.602(1)$ and $T_l=0.5422(2)$ respectively, with the corresponding exponents of correlation length $ u_h=1.50(1)$ and $ u_l=0.833(1)$. By using correlation ratio and size dependence of correlation function we estimate the decay exponent for the high-$T$ transition as $eta_h=0.260(1)$. For the low-$T$ transition, $eta_l = 0.267(1)$ is extracted from the finite size scaling of susceptibility. The universality class of the low-$T$ critical point is the same as the 3-state Potts model.
Structural and physical properties determined by measurements on large single crystals of the anisotropic ferromagnet MnBi are reported. The findings support the importance of magneto-elastic effects in this material. X-ray diffraction reveals a stru ctural phase transition at the spin reorientation temperature $T_{SR}$ = 90 K. The distortion is driven by magneto-elastic coupling, and upon cooling transforms the structure from hexagonal to orthorhombic. Heat capacity measurements show a thermal anomaly at the crystallographic transition, which is suppressed rapidly by applied magnetic fields. Effects on the transport and anisotropic magnetic properties of the single crystals are also presented. Increasing anisotropy of the atomic displacement parameters for Bi with increasing temperature above $T_{SR}$ is revealed by neutron diffraction measurements. It is likely that this is directly related to the anisotropic thermal expansion in MnBi, which plays a key role in the spin reorientation and magnetocrystalline anisotropy. The identification of the true ground state crystal structure reported here may be important for future experimental and theoretical studies of this permanent magnet material, which have to date been performed and interpreted using only the high temperature structure.
Plastic deformations in body-centered-cubic (BCC) crystals have been of critical importance in diverse engineering and manufacturing contexts across length scales. Numerous experiments and atomistic simulations on BCC crystals reveal that classical c rystal plasticity models with the Schmid law are not adequate to account for abnormal plastic deformations often found in these crystals. In this paper, we address a continuum mechanical treatment of anomalous plasticity in BCC crystals exhibiting non-Schmid effects, inspired from atomistic simulations recently reported. Specifically, anomalous features of plastic flows are addressed in conjunction with a single crystal constitutive model involving two non-Schmid projection tensors widely accepted for representing non-glide components of an applied stress tensor. Further, modeling results on a representative BCC single crystal (tantalum) are presented and compared to experimental data at a range of low temperatures to provide physical insight into deformation mechanisms in these crystals with non-Schmid effects.
The information carrier of modern technologies is the electron charge whose transport inevitably generates Joule heating. Spin-waves, the collective precessional motion of electron spins, do not involve moving charges and thus avoid Joule heating. In this respect, magnonic devices in which the information is carried by spin-waves attract interest for low-power computing. However implementation of magnonic devices for practical use suffers from low spin-wave signal and on/off ratio. Here we demonstrate that cubic anisotropic materials can enhance spin-wave signals by improving spin-wave amplitude as well as group velocity and attenuation length. Furthermore, cubic anisotropic material shows an enhanced on/off ratio through a laterally localized edge mode, which closely mimics the gate-controlled conducting channel in traditional field-effect transistors. These attractive features of cubic anisotropic materials will invigorate magnonics research towards wave-based functional devices.
We report strong unidirectional anisotropy in bulk polycrystalline B20 FeGe measured by ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Bulk and micron-sized samples were produced and analytically characterized. FeGe is a B20 compound with inherent Dzyaloshins kii-Moriya interaction. Lorenz microscopy confirms a skyrmion lattice at $190 ; text{K}$ in a magnetic field of 150 mT. Ferromagnetic resonance was measured at $276 ; text{K} pm 1 ; text{K}$, near the Curie temperature. Two resonance modes were observed, both exhibit a unidirectional anisotropy of $K=1153 ; text{J/m}^3 pm 10 ; text{J/m}^3$ in the primary, and $K=28 ; text{J/m}^3 pm 2 ; text{J/m}^3$ in the secondary mode, previously unknown in bulk ferromagnets. Additionally, about 25 standing spin wave modes are observed inside a micron-sized FeGe wedge, measured at room temperature ($sim ; 293$ K). These modes also exhibit unidirectional anisotropy.
