Generalization of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction to any beyond Heisenberg spin model — •Hiroshi Katsumoto¹, Yuriy Mokrousov^1,2, and Stefan Blügel¹ — ¹Peter Grünberg Institut and Institute for Advanced Simulation, Forschungszentrum Jülich and JARA, 52425 Jülich, Germany — ²Institute of Physics, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, 55099 Mainz, Germany

In the past decade, it has become clear that the competition between Heisenberg and higher-order exchange interactions can promote very complex magnetic structures. While higher-order terms among isotropic exchange interactions are known to stem not only from the number of sites but also from the spin magnitude [1], Moriya derived the Dyzaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), which has emerged as a key mechanism to stabilize chiral magnetism, only for spin-1/2 systems. Starting from a fermionic model and applying perturbation theory to the first order in the spin-orbit coupling, we generalized Moriya’s work and derived an expression that generates the DMI sequentially for any higher-order exchange interaction. The application of this expression to particular spin models provides consistently all recently suggested DMIs extended to higher-order exchange interactions [2].
