Calculations of Spin-Wave Energy Gap in Transition Metals
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 February 2011
Abstract
Analytical expressions for the total energy derivative with respect to the magnetic moment rotations have been derived in the relativistic local-spin density functional approach and multiple scattering theory. The spin-wave stiffness constant as well as the gap in the spin-wave spectrum due to relativistic anisotropy effects is calculated in KKR-ASA approximation for bcc Fe. This is compared with other theoretical calculations and available experimental data.
