Abstract

Magnetic materials play a key role in the contemporary industry, providing unique features with a wide application potential. To study physical phenomena and design new materials, it is important to possess an appropriate tool, a model allowing simulation of desired behavior. Spin-lattice model simulations can be used to investigate spacious systems containing thousands of atoms, while complex phenomena arising from the interplay of lattice and spin dynamics can be modeled. One of the important phenomena that can be modeled in the spin lattice simulation is magnetoelastic behavior, offering direct conversion between the mechanical and magnetic energy. However, so far, only models for systems with cubic symmetry have been introduced. Therefore, here, a spin-lattice model for a system with tetragonal symmetry is proposed, where its strength is manifested by simulation of magnetoelastic properties of a characteristic representative L1$_{0}$ FePt system.
