Combining ab initio calculations and atomistic spin dynamics simulations we develop a multiscale model to study the current-induced switching in Mn2Au. We compute from first principles the strength and direction of the electrically induced magnetic moments, caused by the Rashba-Edelstein effect, and take these into account in atomistic spin dynamics simulations. Our simulations reveal the switching paths as well as the timescales for switching. The size of the induced moments, however, turns out to be insufficient to lead to fully deterministic switching. Instead, we find that a certain degree of thermal activation is required to help overcome the relevant energy barrier.}, keywords = {Materials Science, Multidisciplinary; Physics, Applied}, year = {2022}, eissn = {2469-9969}, orcid-numbers = {Deák, András/0000-0002-3210-2947} } @article{MTMT:32639473, title = {Tuning Ferromagnetism in a Single Layer of Fe above Room Temperature}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32639473}, author = {Zdyb, R. and Palotás, Krisztián and Simon, Eszter and Jaroch, T. and Korczak, Z.}, doi = {10.3390/ma15031019}, journal-iso = {MATERIALS}, journal = {MATERIALS}, volume = {15}, unique-id = {32639473}, abstract = {The crystallographic and magnetic properties of an Fe monolayer (ML) grown on 2 ML Au/W(110) substrate are studied with spin-polarized low-energy electron microscopy, density functional theory, and relativistic screened Korringa–Kohn–Rostoker calculations.

Based on first-principles calculations we derive the interatomic isotropic bilinear and biquadratic couplings between Mn atoms from the paramagnetic state. We find frustrated isotropic couplings for all compounds and, in the case of Z = Si and Sb, a nearest-neighbor biquadratic coupling that favors perpendicular alignment between the Mn spins. By using an extended classical Heisenberg model in combination with spin dynamics simulations we obtain the magnetic equilibrium states. From these simulations we conclude that the biquadratic coupling, in combination with the frustrated isotropic interactions, leads to noncollinear magnetic ground states in the Ru2MnSi and Ru2MnSb compounds. In particular, for these alloys we find two distinct, noncollinear ground states which are energetically equivalent and can be identified as 3Q and 4Q states on a frustrated fcc lattice. Investigating the thermal stability of the noncollinear phase we find that, in the case of Ru2MnSi, the multiple-Q phase undergoes a transition to the single Q phase, while in case of Ru2MnSb the corresponding transition is not obtained due to the larger magnitude of the nearest-neighbor biquadratic coupling.}, keywords = {GE; PHASE-TRANSITIONS; MAGNETIC-STRUCTURES; COO; Heusler}, year = {2020}, eissn = {2475-9953}, orcid-numbers = {Simon, Eszter/0000-0003-3527-1233; Nowak, Ulrich/0000-0003-2925-6774} } @article{MTMT:31788306, title = {Magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of the Co2-xMnxB system by experiment and density functional theory}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31788306}, author = {Ener, S and Fries, M and Hammerath, F and Opahle, I and Simon, Eszter and Fritsch, P and Wurmehl, S and Zhang, HB and Gutfleisch, O}, doi = {10.1016/j.actamat.2018.11.034}, journal-iso = {ACTA MATER}, journal = {ACTA MATERIALIA}, volume = {165}, unique-id = {31788306}, issn = {1359-6454}, year = {2019}, eissn = {1873-2453}, pages = {270-277} } @article{MTMT:30869234, title = {Spin-spiral formalism based on the multiple-scattering Green's function technique with applications to ultrathin magnetic films and multilayers}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/30869234}, author = {Simon, Eszter and Szunyogh, László}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevB.100.134428}, journal-iso = {PHYS REV B}, journal = {PHYSICAL REVIEW B}, volume = {100}, unique-id = {30869234}, issn = {2469-9950}, abstract = {Based on the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker Green's function technique, we present a computational scheme for calculating the electronic structure of layered systems with homogeneous spin-spiral magnetic state.

We demonstrate that the newly developed method properly describes the magnetic ground state of a Mn monolayer on W(001) and that of a Co monolayer on Pt(111). The obtained spin-spiral energies are mapped to a classical spin model, the parameters of which are compared to those calculated directly from the relativistic torque method. In case of the Co/Pt(111) system, we find that the isotropic interaction between the Co atoms is reduced and the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction is increased when capped by a Ru layer. In addition, we perform spin-spiral calculations on Ir/Fe/Co/Pt and Ir/Co/Fe/Pt multilayer systems and find a spin-spiral ground state with very long wavelength due to the frustrated isotropic couplings between the Fe atoms, whereas the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction strongly depends on the sequence of the Fe and Co layers.}, keywords = {STATES; METALS; CRYSTALS; Anisotropy; BAND-STRUCTURE; SKYRMIONS; Exchange interactions; Materials Science, Multidisciplinary; Physics, Applied; ENERGY-ELECTRON DIFFRACTION; CELLULAR METHOD}, year = {2019}, eissn = {2469-9969} } @article{MTMT:3415664, title = {Magnetism and exchange-bias effect at the MnN/Fe interface}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3415664}, author = {Simon, Eszter and Yanes, R. and Khmelevskyi, S. and Palotás, Krisztián and Szunyogh, László and Nowak, U.}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevB.98.094415}, journal-iso = {PHYS REV B}, journal = {PHYSICAL REVIEW B}, volume = {98}, unique-id = {3415664}, issn = {2469-9950}, abstract = {Based on ab initio calculations and spin dynamics simulations, we perform a detailed study on the magnetic properties of bulk MnN and the MnN/Fe interface.
