Summary
editDescriptionSpin wave.gif |
English: Spin waves are an intrinsically quantum phenomenon, so they are hard to visualize. But if we think in term of magnetization we can get a general picture of what it is going on, and how a point excitation propagates in the medium.
Obtained integrating the Landau–Lifshitz equation on a square grid, where each "spin" feels an effective magnetic field proportional to the sum of its scalar products with its 4 nearest neighbours. It's a toy model, but it gives the general idea. |
