Abstract:
We examine the experimental absence of standing spin wave modes in thin
magnetic films, by means of atomistic spin dynamics simulations [1].
Using Co on Cu(001) as a model system, we demonstrate that by increasing
the number of layers, the optical branches predicted
from adiabatic first-principles calculations are strongly suppressed, in
agreement with spin-polarized electron energy loss spectroscopy
measurements reported in the literature. Our results suggest that
a dynamical analysis of the Heisenberg model is sufficient in
order to capture the strong damping of the standing modes.
