Magnetic moment of inertia tensor from first principles — •Danny Thonig, Manuel Pereiro, and Olle Eriksson — Department of Material Theory, Uppsala University, Sweden

The evolution of atomic magnetic moments is well described in terms of precession and a damping for the adiabatic limit. Approaching the adiabatic limit, however, turned out to extend the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation by an inertia contribution [1]. Magnetic inertia ι is the resistance of the magnetic moment to relax, e.g. in ultra fast switching by an external magnetic field [2], that — to the best of our knowledge — have not been characterized on an ab initio basis.

We deduce the moment of inertia tensor from the breathing band model [3] and apply it in the framework of a renormalized Green function tight-binding approach. Slater-Koster parameters were obtained by a genetic-algorithm and Monte Carlo optimization with respect to first-principles results. Our model reveals that the moment of inertia tensor ιij is non-local and temperature dependent.

Our approach is applied to the bulk Stoner magnets and could be compared to recent experimental measurements [4]. Supported by atomistic magnetization dynamics simulations we reveal the importance of magnetic inertia in ultrafast relaxation processes.
