Abstract
We investigate the nonlinear spin dynamics of a frustrated Kagomé lattice subjected to a time-periodic magnetic field, focusing on the effects of Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction (DMI), magnetic anisotropy and exchange coupling. Using numerical simulations of the Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert equation, we analyze the evolution of spin oscillations via Poincaré surface sections and power spectral density across a wide parameter range. At low DMI, weak anisotropy, and small external field strengths, the system exhibits quasi-periodic oscillations governed primarily by exchange interactions. Increasing the DMI strength induces strong aperiodic behavior, with a clear transition to chaotic dynamics, particularly under moderate anisotropy. While strong easy-axis anisotropy tends to stabilize periodic orbits, sufficiently strong DMI can still drive the system into chaos. Furthermore, we show that external fields destabilize oscillations in weakly anisotropic regimes but have limited impact in the presence of strong anisotropy. We also compute the magnon dispersion relation and magnetic resonance (MR) spectra, revealing multi-peak structures at high DMI which indicate the presence of strong nonlinear spin-wave interactions. Our results highlight the critical role of DMI and anisotropy in shaping dynamical responses in Kagomé magnets, affecting the development of spintronic and magnonic devices.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials provides an important forum for the disclosure and discussion of original contributions covering the whole spectrum of topics, from basic magnetism to the technology and applications of magnetic materials. The journal encourages greater interaction between the basic and applied sub-disciplines of magnetism with comprehensive review articles, in addition to full-length contributions. In addition, other categories of contributions are welcome, including Critical Focused issues, Current Perspectives and Outreach to the General Public.
Main Categories:
Full-length articles:
Technically original research documents that report results of value to the communities that comprise the journal audience. The link between chemical, structural and microstructural properties on the one hand and magnetic properties on the other hand are encouraged.
In addition to general topics covering all areas of magnetism and magnetic materials, the full-length articles also include three sub-sections, focusing on Nanomagnetism, Spintronics and Applications.
The sub-section on Nanomagnetism contains articles on magnetic nanoparticles, nanowires, thin films, 2D materials and other nanoscale magnetic materials and their applications.
The sub-section on Spintronics contains articles on magnetoresistance, magnetoimpedance, magneto-optical phenomena, Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), and other topics related to spin current control and magneto-transport phenomena. The sub-section on Applications display papers that focus on applications of magnetic materials. The applications need to show a connection to magnetism.
Review articles:
Review articles organize, clarify, and summarize existing major works in the areas covered by the Journal and provide comprehensive citations to the full spectrum of relevant literature.
