Mn2Au is a promising candidate as material for future antiferromagnetic spintronic devices, since its order parameter can be switched by 90 degree via electric currents [1]. The switching mechanism relies on the Edelstein effect that gives rise to induced magnetic moments, which in Mn2Au are staggered due to the broken inversion symmetry.
We model the current-induced switching within the framework of atomistic spin dynamics simulations based on a multiscale approach were the parameters for the spin model as well as for the Edelstein effect were calculated from first principles [2]. Within this model, we explore the mechanism and the time scales involved in the switching process.
