Software engineering in scientific computing: spin-lattice simulations as an example

Pylypovskyi, O.; Tomilo, A.

Nanomagnets of complex geometrical shape and nanosized characteristic scales are hardly accessible via conventional solutions for numerical modelling. In the meantime, they are of high fundamental and applied interest, showing a novel interplay between geometry and magnetic sublattice. Recent advances in fabrication and characterization of curvilinear magnets hold an additional interest to them and force the further development of analytical and numerical tools to address such systems at the large scale. The latter include a flexible user interface to describe the concrete problem, and parallel computing to handle billions of degrees of freedom. Here, we will overview the present approaches to design spin-lattice and micromagnetic solvers based on the Landau-Lifshitz equation and discuss our experience in the software engineering of these tools.

Keywords: spin-lattice simulations; antiferromagnetism
