Effects of Magnetization Inertia in Spin Dynamics — •Anna Semisalova — Faculty of Physics and CENIDE, University of Duisburg-Essen, Duisburg, Germany

Magnetization inertia has been shown to give rise to an additional motion of magnetization - a THz-frequency nutation, superimposed on the regular GHz precession [1-4], attractive for ultrafast magnonics [5]. Furthermore, in nanoparticles, magnetic nutation can be induced by a non-uniform spin configuration due to surface anisotropy [6]. In this talk, I discuss how to resolve effects of inertia on spin dynamics in anisotropic ferromagnets [7]. Within the inertial LLG equation, we find a reduction of the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) frequency for both aligned and non-aligned modes due to inertia. We illustrate this phenomenon for model thin film systems with cubic and uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Notably, for an out-of-plane magnetic field the FMR frequency dependence of a thin film becomes non-linear, in contrast to conventionally used Kittel formula. We also find that the nutation frequency increases with the magnetic anisotropy and the applied field. These higher-order corrections due to inertia are important for an accurate evaluation of magnetic anisotropy and g-factor, and for an interpretation of spin dynamics experiments at higher frequencies [7].
