This result can be directly compared to experimental neutron scattering data from Bai et al.

(The publication figure used a non-standard coordinate system to label the wave vectors.)

To get this agreement, the theory of SU(3) coherent states is essential. The lower band has large quadrupolar character, and arises from the strong easy-axis anisotropy of FeI₂.

An interesting exercise is to repeat the same study, but using :dipole mode instead of :SUN. That alternative choice would constrain the coherent state dynamics to the space of dipoles only, and the flat band of single-ion bound states would be missing.

This model system has a single magnon band with dispersion $ϵ(𝐪) = 1 - D/B \sin(2πq₃)$ and uniform intensity. Both calculation methods reproduce this analytical solution. Observe that $𝐪$ and $-𝐪$ are inequivalent. The structure factor calculated from classical dynamics additionally shows an elastic peak at $𝐪 = [0,0,0]$, reflecting the ferromagnetic ground state.

The result is something slightly greater than 5, substantially closer to the expected quantum sum rule. We can now adjust $\kappa$ and iterate until we reach a value sufficiently close to 16/3. In general, this should be done while collecting substantially more statistics.

Note that $\kappa (T)$ needs to be determined empirically for each model. A detailed example, demonstrating the calculations used in [3], is available here.

Sunny.BinningParameters — Type
BinningParameters(binstart, binend, binwidth; covectors=I(4))
 BinningParameters(binstart, binend; numbins, covectors=I(4))

Describes a 4D parallelepided histogram in a format compatible with experimental Inelasitic Neutron Scattering data. See generate_mantid_script_from_binning_parameters to convert BinningParameters to a format understandable by the Mantid software, or load_nxs to load BinningParameters from a Mantid .nxs file.

The coordinates of the histogram axes are specified by multiplication of (q,ω) with each row of the covectors matrix, with q given in [R.L.U.]. Since the default covectors matrix is the identity matrix, the default axes are (qx, qy, qz, ω) in absolute units.

The convention for the binning scheme is that:

  • The left edge of the first bin starts at binstart
  • The bin width is binwidth
  • The last bin contains binend
  • There are no "partial bins;" the last bin may contain values greater than binend.

A value can be binned by computing its bin index:

    coords = covectors * value
-    bin_ix = 1 .+ floor.(Int64, (coords .- binstart) ./ binwidth)
source
Sunny.Bond — Type
Bond(i, j, n)

Represents a bond between atom indices i and j. n is a vector of three integers specifying unit cell displacement in terms of lattice vectors.

source
Sunny.Crystal — Type

An object describing a crystallographic unit cell and its space group symmetry. Constructors are as follows:

Crystal(filename; override_symmetry=false, symprec=nothing)

Reads the crystal from a .cif file located at the path filename. If override_symmetry=true, the spacegroup will be inferred based on atom positions and the returned unit cell may be reduced in size. For an mCIF file, the return value is the magnetic supercell, unless override_symmetry=true. If a precision for spacegroup symmetries cannot be inferred from the CIF file, it must be specified with symprec. The latvecs field of the returned Crystal will be in units of angstrom.

Crystal(latvecs, positions; types=nothing, symprec=1e-5)

Constructs a crystal from the complete list of atom positions positions, with coordinates (between 0 and 1) in units of lattice vectors latvecs. Spacegroup symmetry information is automatically inferred using the Spglib package [1]. The optional parameter types is a list of strings, one for each atom, and can be used to break symmetry-equivalence between atoms.

Crystal(latvecs, positions, spacegroup; types=nothing, choice=nothing, symprec=1e-5)

Builds a crystal using the symmetries of a spacegroup. One representative atom must be specified for each occupied Wyckoff. The spacegroup may be specified as a number 1..230 or as a string, e.g., Hermann–Mauguin or Hall symbol. If only a spacegroup number is provided, the ITA standard setting [2] will be employed, consistent with conventions from the Bilbao crystallographic server. If a spacegroup symbol is provided that allows for multiple ITA settings, the possible disambiguations will be included in an error message, and may involve a choice string.

Sunny.ImplicitMidpoint — Type
ImplicitMidpoint(dt::Float64; atol=1e-12) where N

The implicit midpoint method for integrating the Landau-Lifshitz spin dynamics or its generalization to SU(N) coherent states [1]. One call to the step! function will advance a System by dt units of time. This integration scheme is exactly symplectic and eliminates energy drift over arbitrarily long simulation trajectories.

Sunny.Langevin — Type
Langevin(dt::Float64; damping::Float64, kT::Float64)

An integrator for Langevin spin dynamics using the explicit Heun method. The damping parameter controls the coupling to an implicit thermal bath. One call to the step! function will advance a System by dt units of time. Can be used to sample from the Boltzmann distribution at temperature kT. An alternative approach to sampling states from thermal equilibrium is LocalSampler, which proposes local Monte Carlo moves. For example, use LocalSampler instead of Langevin to sample Ising-like spins.

Setting damping = 0 disables coupling to the thermal bath, yielding an energy-conserving spin dynamics. The Langevin integrator uses an explicit numerical integrator which cannot prevent energy drift. Alternatively, the ImplicitMidpoint method can be used, which is more expensive but prevents energy drift through exact conservation of the symplectic 2-form.

If the System has mode = :dipole, then the dynamics is the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz equation,

\[ d𝐒/dt = -𝐒 × (ξ - 𝐁 + λ 𝐒 × 𝐁),\]

where $𝐁 = -dE/d𝐒$ is the effective field felt by the expected spin dipole $𝐒$. The components of $ξ$ are Gaussian white noise, with magnitude $√(2 k_B T λ)$ set by a fluctuation-dissipation theorem. The parameter damping sets the phenomenological coupling $λ$ to the thermal bath.

If the System has mode = :SUN, then this dynamics generalizes [1] to a stochastic nonlinear Schrödinger equation for SU(N) coherent states $𝐙$,

\[ d𝐙/dt = -i P [ζ + (1 - i λ̃) ℋ 𝐙].\]

Here, $P$ projects onto the space orthogonal to $𝐙$, and $ζ$ denotes complex Gaussian white noise with magnitude $√(2 k_B T λ̃)$. The local-Hamiltonian $ℋ$ embeds the energy gradient into the 𝔰𝔲(N) Lie algebra, and generates evolution of spin dipoles, quadrupoles, etc. The parameter damping here sets $λ̃$, which is analogous to $λ$ above.

When applied to SU(2) coherent states, the generalized spin dynamics reduces exactly to the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz equation. The mapping is as follows. Normalized coherent states $𝐙$ map to dipole expectation values $𝐒 = 𝐙^{†} Ŝ 𝐙$, where spin operators $Ŝ$ are a spin-$|𝐒|$ representation of SU(2). The local effective Hamiltonian $ℋ = -𝐁 ⋅ Ŝ$ generates rotation of the dipole in analogy to the vector cross product $S × 𝐁$. The coupling to the thermal bath maps as $λ̃ = |𝐒| λ$. Note, therefore, that the scaling of the damping parameter varies subtly between :dipole and :SUN modes.

Sunny.LocalSampler — Type
LocalSampler(; kT, nsweeps=1.0, propose=propose_uniform)

Monte Carlo simulation involving Metropolis updates to individual spins. One call to the step! function will perform nsweeps of MCMC sampling for a provided System. The default value of 1.0 means that step! performs, on average, one trial update per spin.

Assuming ergodicity, the LocalSampler will sample from thermal equilibrium for the target temperature kT.

The trial spin updates are sampled using the propose function. Options include propose_uniform, propose_flip, and propose_delta. Multiple proposals can be mixed with the macro @mix_proposals.

The returned object stores fields ΔE and ΔS, which represent the cumulative change to the net energy and dipole, respectively.

Efficiency considerations

Prefer Langevin sampling in most cases. Langevin dynamics will usually be much more efficient for sampling Heisenberg-like spins that vary continuously. LocalSampler is most useful for sampling from discrete spin states. In particular, propose_flip may be required for sampling Ising-like spins that arise due to a strong easy-axis anisotropy. For strong but finite single-ion anisotropy, consider alternating between Langevin and LocalSampler update steps.

Sunny.SampledCorrelations — Type
SampledCorrelations(sys::System; measure, energies, dt)

An object to accumulate samples of dynamical pair correlations. The measure argument specifies a pair correlation type, e.g. ssf_perp. The energies must be evenly-spaced and starting from 0, e.g. energies = range(0, 3, 100). Select the integration time-step dt according to accuracy and speed considerations. suggest_timestep can help in selecting an appropriate value.

Dynamical correlations will be accumulated through calls to add_sample!, which expects a spin configuration in thermal equilibrium. A classical spin dynamics trajectory will be simulated of sufficient length to achieve the target energy resolution. The resulting data can can then be extracted as pair-correlation intensities with appropriate classical-to-quantum correction factors. See also intensities_static, which integrates over energy.

Sunny.SampledCorrelationsStatic — Type
SampledCorrelationsStatic(sys::System; measure)

An object to accumulate samples of static pair correlations. It is similar to SampledCorrelations, but no time-integration will be performed on calls to add_sample!. The resulting object can be used with intensities_static to calculate statistics from the classical Boltzmann distribution. Dynamical intensities data, however, will be unavailable. Similarly, classical-to-quantum corrections that rely on the excitation spectrum cannot be performed.

Sunny.Site — Type
(cell1, cell2, cell3, i) :: Site

Four indices identifying a single site in a System. The first three indices select the unit cell and the last index selects the sublattice, i.e., the $i$th atom within the unit cell.

This object can be used to index dipoles and coherents fields of a System. A Site is also required to specify inhomogeneous interactions via functions such as set_field_at! or set_exchange_at!.

Note that the definition of a cell may change when a system is reshaped. In this case, it is convenient to construct the Site using position_to_site, which always takes a position in fractional coordinates of the original lattice vectors.

Sunny.SpinWaveTheory — Type
SpinWaveTheory(sys::System; measure, regularization=1e-8)

Constructs an object to perform linear spin wave theory. The system must be in an energy minimizing configuration. Enables calculation of dispersion bands. If pair correlations are specified with correspec, one can also calculate intensities_bands and broadened intensities.

The spins in system must be energy-minimized, otherwise the Cholesky step of the Bogoliubov diagonalization procedure will fail. The parameter regularization adds a small positive shift to the diagonal of the dynamical matrix to avoid numerical issues with quasi-particle modes of vanishing energy. Physically, this shift can be interpreted as application of an inhomogeneous field aligned with the magnetic ordering.

source
Sunny.SpinWaveTheoryKPM — Type
SpinWaveTheoryKPM(sys::System; measure, regularization=1e-8, tol)

A variant of SpinWaveTheory that uses the kernel polynomial method (KPM) to perform intensities calculations [1]. Instead of explicitly diagonalizing the dynamical matrix, KPM approximates intensities using polynomial expansion truncated at order $M$. The reduces the computational cost from $𝒪(N^3)$ to $𝒪(N M)$, which is favorable for large system sizes $N$.

The polynomial order $M$ will be determined from the line broadening kernel and the specified error tolerance tol. Specifically, for each wavevector, $M$ scales like the spectral bandwidth of excitations, divided by the energy resolution of the broadening kernel, times the negative logarithm of tol.

The error tolerance tol should be tuned empirically for each calculation. Reasonable starting points are 1e-1 (more speed) or 1e-2 (more accuracy).

Missing intensity at small quasi-particle energy

The KPM-calculated intensities are unreliable at small energies $ω$. In particular, KPM may mask intensities that arise near the Goldstone modes of an ordered state with continuous symmetry.

Sunny.SpinWaveTheorySpiral — Type
SpinWaveTheorySpiral(sys::System; k, axis, measure, regularization=1e-8)

Analogous to SpinWaveTheory, but interprets the provided system as having a generalized spiral order. This order is described by a single propagation wavevector k, which may be incommensurate. The axis vector defines the polarization plane via its surface normal. Typically the spin configuration in sys and the propagation wavevector k will be optimized using minimize_spiral_energy!. In contrast, axis will typically be determined from symmetry considerations.

The resulting object can be used to calculate the spin wave dispersion, or the structure factor via intensities_bands and intensities.

Sunny.System — Type
System(crystal::Crystal, moments, mode; dims=(1, 1, 1), seed=nothing)

A spin system is constructed from the Crystal unit cell, a specification of the spin moments symmetry-distinct sites, and a calculation mode. Interactions can be added to the system using, e.g., set_exchange!. The default supercell dimensions are 1×1×1 chemical cells, but this can be changed with dims.

Spin moments comprise a list of pairs, [i1 => Moment(...), i2 => ...], where i1, i2, ... are a complete set of symmetry-distinct atoms. Each Moment contains spin and $g$-factor information.

The two primary options for mode are :SUN and :dipole. In the former, each spin-$s$ degree of freedom is described as an SU(N) coherent state, i.e. a quantum superposition of $N = 2s + 1$ levels. This formalism can be useful to capture multipolar spin fluctuations or local entanglement effects.

Mode :dipole projects the SU(N) dynamics onto the restricted space of pure dipoles. In practice this means that Sunny will simulate Landau-Lifshitz dynamics, but single-ion anisotropy and biquadratic exchange interactions will be renormalized to improve accuracy. To disable this renormalization, use the mode :dipole_uncorrected, which corresponds to the formal $s → ∞$ limit. For details, see the documentation page: Interaction Renormalization.

Stochastic operations on this system can be made reproducible by selecting a seed for this system's pseudo-random number generator. The default system seed will be generated from Julia's task-local RNG, which can itself be seeded using Random.seed!.

All spins are initially polarized in the global $z$-direction.

Sunny.Units — Type
Units(energy, length)

Physical constants in units of reference energy and length scales. Possible lengths are [:angstrom, :nm]. For atomic scale modeling, it is preferable to work in units of length=:angstrom, which follows the CIF file standard. Possible energy units are [:meV, :K, :THz, :inverse_cm, :T]. Kelvin is converted to energy via the Boltzmann constant $k_B$. Similarly, hertz is converted via the Planck constant $h$, inverse cm via the speed of light $c$, and tesla (field strength) via the Bohr magneton $μ_B$. For a given Units system, one can access any of the length and energy scale symbols listed above.

Conversely, SampledCorrelationsStatic, will record only spatial correlations for the single spin configuration that is provided.

Time-integration will update the spin configuration of sys in-place. To avoid this mutation, consider calling clone_system prior to add_sample!.

Sunny.enable_dipole_dipole! — Function
enable_dipole_dipole!(sys::System, μ0_μB²)

Enables long-range interactions between magnetic dipole moments,

\[ -(μ_0/4π) ∑_{⟨ij⟩} [3 (μ_i⋅𝐫̂_{ij})(μ_j⋅𝐫̂_{ij}) - μ_i⋅μ_j] / r_{ij}^3,\]

where the sum is over all pairs of sites (singly counted), including periodic images, regularized using the Ewald summation convention. Each magnetic moment is $μ = -g μ_B 𝐒$, where $𝐒$ is the spin angular momentum dipole. The parameter μ0_μB² specifies the physical constant $μ_0 μ_B^2$, which has dimensions of length³-energy. Obtain this constant for a given system of Units via its vacuum_permeability property.

Example

units = Units(:meV, :angstrom)
-enable_dipole_dipole!(sys, units.vacuum_permeability)
Efficiency considerations

Dipole-dipole interactions are very efficient in the context of spin dynamics simulation, e.g. Langevin. Sunny applies the fast Fourier transform (FFT) to spins on each Bravais sublattice, such that the computational cost to integrate one time-step scales like $M^2 N \ln N$, where $N$ is the number of cells in the system and $M$ is the number of Bravais sublattices per cell. Conversely, dipole-dipole interactions are highly inefficient in the context of a LocalSampler. Each Monte Carlo update of a single spin currently requires scanning over all other spins in the system.

Sunny.excitations! — Function
excitations!(T, tmp, swt::SpinWaveTheory, q)

Given a wavevector q, solves for the matrix T representing quasi-particle excitations, and returns a list of quasi-particle energies. Both T and tmp must be supplied as $2L×2L$ complex matrices, where $L$ is the number of bands for a single $𝐪$ value.

The columns of T are understood to be contracted with the Holstein-Primakoff bosons $[𝐛_𝐪, 𝐛_{-𝐪}^†]$. The first $L$ columns provide the eigenvectors of the quadratic Hamiltonian for the wavevector $𝐪$. The next $L$ columns of T describe eigenvectors for $-𝐪$. The return value is a vector with similar grouping: the first $L$ values are energies for $𝐪$, and the next $L$ values are the negation of energies for $-𝐪$.

excitations!(T, tmp, swt::SpinWaveTheorySpiral, q; branch)

Calculations on a SpinWaveTheorySpiral additionally require a branch index. The possible branches $(1, 2, 3)$ correspond to scattering processes $𝐪 - 𝐤, 𝐪, 𝐪 + 𝐤$ respectively, where $𝐤$ is the ordering wavevector. Each branch will contribute $L$ excitations, where $L$ is the number of spins in the magnetic cell. This yields a total of $3L$ excitations for a given momentum transfer $𝐪$.

Sunny.intensities — Function

-intensities(sc::SampledCorrelations, qpts; energies, kernel=nothing, kT)

Calculates dynamical pair correlation intensities for a set of $𝐪$-points in reciprocal space.

Linear spin wave theory calculations are performed with an instance of SpinWaveTheory. The alternative SpinWaveTheorySpiral allows to study generalized spiral orders with a single, incommensurate-$𝐤$ ordering wavevector. Another alternative SpinWaveTheoryKPM is favorable for calculations on large magnetic cells, and allows to study systems with disorder. An optional nonzero temperature kT will scale intensities by the quantum thermal occupation factor $|1 + n_B(ω)|$ where $n_B(ω) = 1/(e^{βω}-1)$ is the Bose function.

Intensities can also be calculated for SampledCorrelations associated with classical spin dynamics. In this case, thermal broadening will already be present, and the line-broadening kernel becomes optional. Conversely, the parameter kT becomes required. If positive, it will introduce an intensity correction factor $|βω (1 + n_B(ω))|$ that undoes the occupation factor for the classical Boltzmann distribution and applies the quantum thermal occupation factor. The special choice kT = nothing will suppress the classical-to-quantum correction factor, and yield statistics consistent with the classical Boltzmann distribution.

print_wrapped_intensities(sys::System; nmax=10)

For Bravais lattices: Prints up to nmax wavevectors according to their instantaneous (static) structure factor intensities, listed in descending order. For non-Bravais lattices: Performs the same analysis for each spin sublattice independently; the output weights are naïvely averaged over sublattices, without incorporating phase shift information. This procedure therefore wraps all wavevectors into the first Brillouin zone. Each wavevector coordinate is given between $-1/2$ and $1/2$ in reciprocal lattice units (RLU). The output from this function will typically be used as input to suggest_magnetic_supercell.

Because this function does not incorporate phase information in its averaging over sublattices, the printed weights are not directly comparable with experiment. For that purpose, use SampledCorrelationsStatic instead.

Sunny.propose_delta — Function
propose_delta(magnitude)

Generate a proposal function that adds a Gaussian perturbation to the existing spin state. In :dipole mode, the procedure is to first introduce a random three-vector perturbation $𝐒′ = 𝐒 + |𝐒| ξ$ and then return the properly normalized spin $|𝐒| (𝐒′/|𝐒′|)$. Each component of the random vector $ξ$ is Gaussian distributed with a standard deviation of magnitude; the latter is dimensionless and typically smaller than one.

In :SUN mode, the procedure is analogous, but now involving Gaussian perturbations to each of the $N$ complex components of an SU(N) coherent state.

In the limit of very large magnitude, this function coincides with propose_uniform.

Consider also Langevin sampling, which is rejection free.

Sunny.propose_flip — Function

Sunny.propose_uniform — Function
propose_uniform

Function to propose a uniformly random spin update in the context of a LocalSampler. In :dipole mode, the result is a random three-vector with appropriate normalization. In :SUN mode, the result is a random SU(N) coherent state with appropriate normalization.

For low-temperature Monte Carlo simulations, uniform spin proposals can be very inefficient due to a high probability of rejection in the Metropolis accept/reject step. Consider also Langevin sampling, which is rejection free.

Sunny.q_space_grid — Function

-q_space_grid(cryst::Crystal, axis1, range1, axis2, range2, axis3, range3; orthogonalize=false)

Returns a 2D or 3D grid of q-points with uniform spacing. The volume shape is defined by (axis1, axis2, ...) in reciprocal lattice units (RLU). Elements of (range1, range2, ...) provide coefficients $c_i$ used to define grid positions,

    offset + c1 * axis1 + c2 * axis2 + ...

A nonzero offset is allowed only in the 2D case.

The first range parameter, range1, must be a regularly spaced list of coefficients, e.g., range1 = range(lo1, hi1, n). Subsequent range parameters may be a pair of bounds, without grid spacing information. For example, by selecting range2 = (lo2, hi2), an appropriate step-size will be inferred to provide an approximately uniform sampling density in global Cartesian coordinates.

The axes may be non-orthogonal. To extend to an orthohombic volume in global Cartesian coordinates, set orthogonalize=true.

This function accepts a wavevector $𝐪$ in global Cartesian coordinates, and a 3×3 matrix with structure factor intensity components $\mathcal{S}^{αβ}(𝐪,ω)$. Indices $(α, β)$ denote dipole components in global coordinates. The return value of f can be any number or isbits type. With specific choices of f, one can obtain measurements such as defined in ssf_perp and ssf_trace.

By default, the g-factor or tensor is applied at each site, such that the structure factor components are correlations between the magnetic moment operators. Set apply_g = false to measure correlations between the bare spin operators.

The optional formfactors comprise a list of pairs [i1 => FormFactor(...), i2 => ...], where i1, i2, ... are a complete set of symmetry-distinct atoms, and each FormFactor implements $𝐪$-space attenuation for the given atom.

Intended for use with SpinWaveTheory and instances of SampledCorrelations.

Sunny.spiral_energy — Function
spiral_energy(sys::System; k, axis)

Returns the energy of a generalized spiral phase associated with the propagation wavevector k (in reciprocal lattice units, RLU) and an axis vector that is normal to the polarization plane (in global Cartesian coordinates).

When $𝐤$ is incommensurate, this calculation can be viewed as creating an infinite number of periodic copies of sys. The spins on each periodic copy are rotated about the axis vector, with the angle $θ = 2π 𝐤⋅𝐫$, where 𝐫 denotes the displacement vector between periodic copies of sys in multiples of the lattice vectors of the chemical cell.

The return value is the energy associated with one periodic copy of sys. The special case $𝐤 = 0$ yields result is identical to energy.

Sunny.suggest_timestep — Function
suggest_timestep(sys, integrator; tol)

Suggests a timestep for the numerical integration of spin dynamics according to a given error tolerance tol. The integrator should be Langevin or ImplicitMidpoint. The suggested $dt$ will be inversely proportional to the magnitude of the effective field $|dE/d𝐒|$ arising from the current spin configuration in sys. The recommended timestep $dt$ scales like √tol, which assumes second-order accuracy of the integrator.

The system sys should be initialized to an equilibrium spin configuration for the target temperature. Alternatively, a reasonably timestep estimate can be obtained from any low-energy spin configuration. For this, one can use randomize_spins! and then minimize_energy!.

Large damping magnitude or target temperature kT will tighten the timestep bound. If damping exceeds 1, it will rescale the suggested timestep by an approximate the factor $1/damping$. If kT is the largest energy scale, then the suggested timestep will scale like 1/(damping*kT). Quantification of numerical error for stochastic dynamics is subtle. The stochastic Heun integration scheme is weakly convergent of order-1, such that errors in the estimates of averaged observables may scale like dt. This implies that the tol argument may actually scale like the square of the true numerical error, and should be selected with this in mind.

Extracting intensities sampled correlation data

Like in spin wave theory, the basic function for extracting intensities information from a SampledCorrelations is intensities. It takes a SampledCorrelations, a collection of $𝐪$-vectors, a collection of energies, and possible other options.

Since classical dynamics simulation take place on a finite lattice, the fundamental intensities measurements are only available at a discrete grid of wave vectors. In reciprocal lattice units, available grid points are $𝐪 = [\frac{n_1}{L_1}, \frac{n_2}{L_2}, \frac{n_3}{L_3}]$, where $n_i$ runs from $(\frac{-L_i}{2}+1)$ to $\frac{L_i}{2}$ and $L_i$ is the linear dimension of the lattice used in the calculation. (An internal function Sunny.available_wave_vectors provides access to this grid.) By default intensities will adjust each wavevector $𝐪$ to the nearest available grid point.

Similarly, the resolution in energies is controlled the dynamical trajectory length in real-time. Because the dynamical trajectory is not periodic in time, some blurring between neighboring energy bins is unavoidable. Sunny's algorithm for estimating the structure factor from real-time dynamics is specified here.

The temperature parameter kT is required for SampledCorrelations calculations, and will be used to perform classical-to-quantum rescaling of intensities. If kT = nothing, then intensities will be provided according to the classical Boltzmann distribution.

The instantaneous structure factor

Use intensities_static to calculate $\mathcal{S}(𝐪)$, i.e., correlations that are "instantaneous" in real-time. Mathematically, $\mathcal{S}(𝐪)$ denotes an integral of the dynamical structure factor $\mathcal{S}(𝐪, ω)$ over all energies $ω$. In SpinWaveTheory, the energy integral becomes a discrete sum over bands. In SampledCorrelations, a classical-to-quantum correction factor will be applied within intensities prior to energy integration.

Sunny also supports a mechanism to calculate static correlations without any spin dynamics. To collect such statistics, construct a SampledCorrelationsStatic object. In this case, intensities_static will return static correlations sampled from the classical Boltzmann distribution. This dynamics-free approach is faster, but may miss important features that derive from the quantum mechanical excitation spectrum.

Version History

v0.7.5

(In development)

  • view_crystal shows allowed quadratic anisotropy. print_site accepts an optional reference atom i_ref, with default of i. The optional reference bond b_ref of print_bond now defaults to b.

(Dec 6, 2024)

v0.7.3

(Nov 12, 2024)

  • Fix error in print_symmetry_table for slightly-distorted crystal cells (PR #317).

  • Rename mode :dipole_large_S to :dipole_uncorrected to emphasize that corrections are missing.
  • The Crystal constructor, by default, interprets a spacegroup number in its ITA standard setting, e.g., as used by the Bilbao crystallographic server. The keyword argument setting becomes choice, and can typically be omitted.
  • Rename primitive_cell_shape to primitive_cell.

v0.7.2

(Sep 11, 2024)

  • Fix error in SampledCorrelations with a coarse $𝐪$-grid. (PR #314).
  • Fix colorbar in plot_intensities! when all data is uniform (PR #315).
  • An explicit colorrange can be used for plotting intensities_bands.

v0.7.1

(Sep 3, 2024)

  • Correctness fix for scalar biquadratic interactions specified with option biquad to set_exchange!.
  • Prototype implementation of entangled units.

v0.7.0

(Aug 30, 2024)

This major release introduces breaking interface changes.

  • The interface for calculating intensities has been revised to unify functionality across backends. The functions intensities_bands, intensities, and intensities_static no longer expect a "formula", and instead take keyword arguments directly. Pair correlations are now specified using ssf_perp and related functions. The constructors SampledCorrelations and SampledCorrelationsStatic replace dynamic_correlations and static_correlations, respectively.
  • New function plot_intensities enables convenient plotting for many types of intensities plots. Mutating variant plot_intensities! enables multi-panel plots.
  • One should now specify a range of $𝐪$-points with q_space_path or q_space_grid.
  • SpinWaveTheorySpiral is available to perform calculations on generalized spiral structures, which may be incommensurate.
  • repeat_periodically_as_spiral replaces set_spiral_order_on_sublattice! and set_spiral_order!.
  • New convenience functions powder_average and domain_average, which wrap intensities.
  • System now expects supercell dimensions as a dims keyword argument. Moment replaces SpinInfo. Lower-case s now labels quantum spin.
  • In view_crystal and plot_spins use ndims instead of dims for the number of spatial dimensions.
  • Binning features have been removed. Some functionality may be added back in a future release.
  • Experimental SpinWaveTheoryKPM feature implements a new algorithm to enable intensities calculations at a computational cost that scales linearly in system size.

v0.6.1

(Aug 2, 2024)

  • Breaking changes: magnetic_moment is now reported in units of the Bohr magneton, $μ_B$. For model systems where the Zeeman coupling aligns spin dipole with field (e.g., the Ising model convention), create a SpinInfo with g=-1. (PR 284).
  • More flexible Units system. set_external_field! is deprecated in favor of set_field!, which now expects a field in energy units. enable_dipole_dipole! now expects a scale parameter $μ_0 μ_B^2$ that can be obtained from units.vacuum_permeability.

v0.6.0

(Jun 18, 2024)

  • Various correctness fixes. The magnetic moment is now anti-aligned with the spin dipole (Issue 190), and the wavevector $𝐪$ in structure factor intensities $\mathcal{S}(𝐪,ω)$ now consistently represents momentum transfer to the sample (Issue 270). The new Example 8 demonstrates a model system where momentum transfers $±𝐪$ are inequivalent.
  • Dynamical structure factor intensities now have a precisely defined scale, independent of the calculator (Issue 264). Consequently, color ranges in plots may need to be rescaled.
  • Crystal can now infer a chemical unit cell from an mCIF file. System now supports set_dipoles_from_mcif!. Through spglib, one can now standardize any Crystal, with an option to idealize site positions.

v0.5.11

(Jun 2, 2024)

  • Fixes for Makie 0.21.

v0.5.10

(May 27, 2024)

  • view_crystal called on a System now shows interactions, and optionally the spin or magnetic dipoles.
  • Interactions for enable_dipole_dipole! are now supported in linear spin wave theory, with proper Ewald summation. For a faster alternative, the experimental function modify_exchange_with_truncated_dipole_dipole! will accept a real-space cutoff.
  • Intensities calculated with dynamic_correlations now avoid "bleeding artifacts" at low-energy (long-timescale) modes. See PR 246 for details. This eliminates the need for process_trajectory=:symmetrize.
  • When passed to intensity_formula, the special value zero(FormFactor) can now be used to disable contributions from a given site. For an example, see the ported SpinW tutorial 19.
  • Broadening kernels gaussian and lorentzian now expect a full width at half maximum (fwhm) keyword argument.
  • Experimental support for calculations on generalized spiral phases. For an example, see the ported SpinW tutorial 18.
  • Correctness fix for the case where spin-$S$ varies between sites in dipole-mode. In SU($N$) mode, however, there is still no support for varying the Hilbert space dimension $N$ between sites.
  • Correctness fix in long-range dipole-dipole interactions for systems with multiple cells.
  • Correctness fix in general biquadratic interactions (beyond scalar) for spin wave theory in dipole-mode.
  • Correctness fix for reading Mantid .nxs files.

v0.5.9

(Mar 25, 2024)

  • Correctness fixes: Structure factor conventions are now uniform across modes and precisely specified. The g-tensor is applied by default (disable with apply_g = false). The intensity is additive with increasing number of magnetic ions in the chemical cell, consistent with SpinW. Issue #235.
  • Enhancements to view_crystal. If a bond allows a DM interaction, its orientation will be shown visually. If a System argument is supplied, its exchange interactions will be shown..
  • New function suggest_timestep to assist in performing accurate and efficient simulation of classical spin dynamics. Issue #149.
  • Scalar biquadratic interactions can again be set in :dipole_large_S mode via the keyword argument biquad of set_exchange!.
  • Significantly speed up dynamic_correlations for crystals with many atoms in the unit cell. Issue #204.
  • Renamings: dt replaces Δt and damping replaces λ. This affects Langevin, [ImplicitMidpoint], and dynamic_correlations functions.

v0.5.8

(Jan 4, 2024)

  • Many bugs in the WGLMakie backend have become apparent, and are being tracked at Issue #211. Emit a warning if WGLMakie is detected, suggesting that GLMakie is preferred.
  • Various improvements to view_crystal. A distance parameter is no longer expected. Cartesian axes now appear as "compass" in bottom-left. Custom list of reference bonds can be passed. Toggle to view non-magnetic atoms in root crystal. Atoms now colored using CPK/JMol conventions.

v0.5.7

(Nov 26, 2023)

  • Update form factor coefficients, which now include Mn5.
  • Fix merge_correlations and the Parallelizing Calculations tutorial.
  • Remove internal functions *_primitive_crystal. Instead, it is recommended to use the conventional unit cell, and later call reshape_supercell.
  • Require Makie 0.20. An important new feature is resolution-independent scaling of font sizes. New figures expect size instead of resolution, and no longer accept rescale.

v0.5.6

(Nov 8, 2023)

This release initiates some major enhancements to the user interface in support of generalized SU(N) spin models. See this documentation page for an illustration of the new features. Most existing Sunny 0.5 models will continue to work with deprecation warnings, but these will become hard errors Sunny v0.6.

  • General pair couplings are now supported in set_pair_coupling! and set_pair_coupling_at!. :SUN mode supports interactions of any order, but :dipole mode is limited to bilinear and biquadratic coupling of the spin.
  • To perform a calculation with dipoles in the large-$S$ limit, use the new mode :dipole_large_S when constructing a System.
  • Deprecate the option biquad to set_exchange!. Use instead set_pair_coupling!, which generalizes beyond the scalar biquadratic.
  • Deprecate spin_operators, stevens_operators, large_S_spin_operators and large_S_stevens_operators. Use instead spin_matrices and stevens_matrices, which require a specific spin-$S$ label. To infer this, one can use spin_label.
  • Remove unused option energy_tol in SpinWaveTheory.
  • Animated spin dynamics is now possible. Call notify on the result of plot_spins to trigger redrawing of the frame. The argument colorfn to plot_spins supports animation of colors. See example usage for a Heisenberg ferromagnetic.
  • Add set_spin_rescaling! feature, which supports improved spectral measurements at finite-$T$. This follows the method proposed in Dahlbom et al., [arXiv:2310.19905].

v0.5.5

(Sep 29, 2023)

  • reshape_supercell now allows reshaping to multiples of the primitive unit cell, which can speed up certain calculations. This is illustrated in the CoRh₂O₄ powder averaging tutorial.
  • resize_supercell now allows all resizings.
  • Added energy_per_site.
  • set_spiral_order_on_sublattice! cannot work on reshaped systems.
  • Various bug fixes. In particular, an intensity_formula with :full will now uniformly calculate a 3x3 matrix of complex numbers.

v0.5.4

(Sep 11, 2023)

  • Various enhancements to view_crystal. Atoms are now labeled by index, and bonds support interactive inspection (GLMakie only). Font sizes work correctly on Makie v0.20-beta. If using Makie v0.19 on a high-resolution display, pass rescale=1.5 to enlarge font sizes.
  • The function suggest_magnetic_supercell now requires only a list of wavevectors, and will return a $3×3$ matrix that can be programmatically passed to reshape_supercell. The new tolerance parameter tol allows suggest_magnetic_supercell to approximate incommensurate wavevectors with nearby commensurate ones.
  • New functions set_spiral_order! and set_spiral_order_on_sublattice! can be used to initialize a spiral, single-$Q$ order.
  • Sunny now retains all constant energy shifts that have been introduced by anisotropy operators.
  • Fix export_vtk functionality.

v0.5.3

(Sep 8, 2023)

  • Add large_S_spin_operators and large_S_stevens_operators to support single-ion anisotropies in dipole mode without renormalization. Set large_S=true in set_exchange! to avoid renormalization of biquadratics.
  • view_crystal has been rewritten in Makie.
  • plot_spins now expects ghost_radius in physical length units.
  • SpinWaveTheory will (currently) error if provided a system with enable_dipole_dipole!.

v0.5.2

(Aug 30, 2023)

  • Form factors for 5d transition ions.
  • Download links for notebooks and scripts on each doc example
  • Various bug fixes.

v0.5.1

(Aug 23, 2023)

  • Fix binning edge cases.
  • plot_spins accepts resolution argument.

v0.5.0

(Aug 21, 2023)

New features.

Support for Linear Spin Wave Theory in :dipole and :SUN modes. (Thanks Hao Zhang!)

New function minimize_energy! to efficiently find an optimal configuration of spin dipoles or SU(N) coherent states.

Major refactors and enhancements to intensity calculations. This new interface allows unification between LSWT and classical spin dynamics calculations. This interface allows: Custom observables as local quantum operators, better support for linebroadening, and automatic binning to facilitate comparison with experimental data. See intensity_formula for documentation. Use load_nxs to load experimental neutron scattering data.

Breaking changes.

Require Julia 1.9.

Replace set_anisotropy! with a new function set_onsite_coupling! (and similarly set_onsite_coupling_at!). The latter expects an explicit matrix representation for the local Hamiltonian. This can be constructed, e.g., as a linear combination of stevens_operators, or as a polynomial of spin_operators. To understand the mapping between these two, the new function print_stevens_expansion acts on an arbitrary local operator.

Remove set_biquadratic!. Instead, use an optional keyword argument biquad to set_exchange!.

Rename DynamicStructureFactor to dynamic_correlations. Similarly, replace InstantStructureFactor with instant_correlations. The return type has been renamed SampledCorrelations to emphasize that the object may be holding thermodynamic samples, which are collected using add_sample!. Upon construction, the SampledCorrelations object will be empty (no initial sample).

Remove intensities function. Instead, use one of intensities_interpolated or intensities_binned. These will require an intensity_formula, which defines a calculator (e.g., LSWT).

Rename connected_path to reciprocal_space_path, which now returns an xticks object that can be used in plotting. Replace spherical_shell with reciprocal_space_shell that functions similarly.

Rename polarize_spin! to set_dipole! for consistency with set_coherent!. The behavior of the former function is unchanged: the spin at a given site will still be polarized along the provided direction.

Rename all_sites to eachsite consistent with Julia convention for iterators.

Rename reshape_geometry to reshape_supercell, which is the fundamental reshaping function. Rename resize_periodically to resize_supercell.

The constructor SpinInfo now requires a $g$-factor or tensor as a named argument.

The constructor FormFactor no longer accepts an atom index. Instead, the form factors are associated with site-symmetry classes in order of appearance.

v0.4.3

(Jun 23, 2023)

Experimental support for linear SpinWaveTheory, implemented in SU(N) mode. This module may evolve rapidly.

Implement renormalization of single-ion anisotropy and biquadratic interactions when in :dipole mode. This makes the model more faithful to the quantum mechanical Hamiltonian, but is also a breaking change.

Various improvements and bugfixes for to_inhomogeneous. Setting inhomogeneous interactions via set_exchange_at! should now infer the correct bond offset direction, or will report an ambiguity error. Ambiguities can be resolved by passing an explicit offset.

The function remove_periodicity! disables periodicity along specified dimensions.

Rename StaticStructureFactor to InstantStructureFactor.

v0.4.2

(Feb 27, 2023)

Introduce LocalSampler, a framework for MCMC sampling with local spin updates.

Rename print_dominant_wavevectors to print_wrapped_intensities to reduce confusion with the physical instantaneous intensities.

The function spherical_shell now takes a radius in physical units of inverse Å.

New exported functions global_position, magnetic_moment, all_sites.

Remove all uses of Base.deepcopy which resolves crashes.

v0.4.1

(Feb 13, 2023)

The function to_inhomogeneous creates a system that supports inhomogeneous interactions, which can be set using set_exchange_at!, etc.

set_biquadratic! replaces set_exchange_with_biquadratic!.

v0.4.0

(Feb 10, 2023)

This update includes many breaking changes, and is missing some features of 0.3.0.

Creating a spin System

Rename SpinSystem to System. Its constructor now has the form,

System(crystal, dims, infos, mode)

The parameter infos is now a list of SpinInfo objects. Each defines spin angular momentum $S = \frac{1}{2}, 1, \frac{3}{2}, …$, and an optional $g$-factor or tensor.

The parameter mode is one of :SUN or :dipole.

Setting interactions

Interactions are now added mutably to an existing System using the following functions: set_external_field!, set_exchange!, set_onsite_coupling!, enable_dipole_dipole!.

As a convenience, one can use dmvec(D) to convert a DM vector to a $3×3$ antisymmetric exchange matrix.

Fully general single-ion anisotropy is now possible. The function set_onsite_coupling! expects the single ion anisotropy to be expressed as a polynomial in symbolic spin operators 𝒮, or as a linear combination of symbolic Stevens operators 𝒪. For example, an easy axis anisotropy in the direction n may be written D*(𝒮⋅n)^2.

Stevens operators 𝒪[k,q] admit polynomial expression in spin operators 𝒮[α]. Conversely, a polynomial of spin operators can be expressed as a linear combination of Stevens operators. To see this expansion use print_anisotropy_as_stevens.

Inhomogeneous field

An external field can be applied to a single site with set_external_field_at!.

Structure factor rewrite

The calculation of structure factors has been completely rewritten. For the new interface see the documentation tutorials.

Various

  • The "Sampler" interface is in flux. Langevin replaces both LangevinHeunP and LangevinSampler. Local spin-flip Monte Carlo sampling methods are temporarily broken.

  • repeat_periodically replaces extend_periodically.

Additional related functions include resize_periodically and reshape_geometry, the latter being fundamental.

The new function includes the list of symmetry-allowed single ion anisotropies in addition to exchange interactions.

  • When reading CIF files, the field _atom_site_label is now used in place of the field _atom_site_type_symbol.

This is required for correctness. The field _atom_site_label is guaranteed to be present, and is guaranteed to be a distinct label for each symmetry-inequivalent site. Code that explicitly referred to site labels (e.g. in calls to subcrystal) will need to be updated to use the new label.

v0.6.1

(Aug 2, 2024)

  • Breaking changes: magnetic_moment is now reported in units of the Bohr magneton, $μ_B$. For model systems where the Zeeman coupling aligns spin dipole with field (e.g., the Ising model convention), create a SpinInfo with g=-1. (PR 284).
  • More flexible Units system. set_external_field! is deprecated in favor of set_field!, which now expects a field in energy units. enable_dipole_dipole! now expects a scale parameter $μ_0 μ_B^2$ that can be obtained from units.vacuum_permeability.

v0.6.0

(Jun 18, 2024)

  • Various correctness fixes. The magnetic moment is now anti-aligned with the spin dipole (Issue 190), and the wavevector $𝐪$ in structure factor intensities $\mathcal{S}(𝐪,ω)$ now consistently represents momentum transfer to the sample (Issue 270). The new Example 8 demonstrates a model system where momentum transfers $±𝐪$ are inequivalent.
  • Dynamical structure factor intensities now have a precisely defined scale, independent of the calculator (Issue 264). Consequently, color ranges in plots may need to be rescaled.
  • Crystal can now infer a chemical unit cell from an mCIF file. System now supports set_dipoles_from_mcif!. Through spglib, one can now standardize any Crystal, with an option to idealize site positions.

v0.5.11

(Jun 2, 2024)

  • Fixes for Makie 0.21.

v0.5.10

(May 27, 2024)

  • view_crystal called on a System now shows interactions, and optionally the spin or magnetic dipoles.
  • Interactions for enable_dipole_dipole! are now supported in linear spin wave theory, with proper Ewald summation. For a faster alternative, the experimental function modify_exchange_with_truncated_dipole_dipole! will accept a real-space cutoff.
  • Intensities calculated with dynamic_correlations now avoid "bleeding artifacts" at low-energy (long-timescale) modes. See PR 246 for details. This eliminates the need for process_trajectory=:symmetrize.
  • When passed to intensity_formula, the special value zero(FormFactor) can now be used to disable contributions from a given site. For an example, see the ported SpinW tutorial 19.
  • Broadening kernels gaussian and lorentzian now expect a full width at half maximum (fwhm) keyword argument.
  • Experimental support for calculations on generalized spiral phases. For an example, see the ported SpinW tutorial 18.
  • Correctness fix for the case where spin-$S$ varies between sites in dipole-mode. In SU($N$) mode, however, there is still no support for varying the Hilbert space dimension $N$ between sites.
  • Correctness fix in long-range dipole-dipole interactions for systems with multiple cells.
  • Correctness fix in general biquadratic interactions (beyond scalar) for spin wave theory in dipole-mode.
  • Correctness fix for reading Mantid .nxs files.

v0.5.9

(Mar 25, 2024)

  • Correctness fixes: Structure factor conventions are now uniform across modes and precisely specified. The g-tensor is applied by default (disable with apply_g = false). The intensity is additive with increasing number of magnetic ions in the chemical cell, consistent with SpinW. Issue #235.
  • Enhancements to view_crystal. If a bond allows a DM interaction, its orientation will be shown visually. If a System argument is supplied, its exchange interactions will be shown..
  • New function suggest_timestep to assist in performing accurate and efficient simulation of classical spin dynamics. Issue #149.
  • Scalar biquadratic interactions can again be set in :dipole_large_S mode via the keyword argument biquad of set_exchange!.
  • Significantly speed up dynamic_correlations for crystals with many atoms in the unit cell. Issue #204.
  • Renamings: dt replaces Δt and damping replaces λ. This affects Langevin, [ImplicitMidpoint], and dynamic_correlations functions.

v0.5.8

(Jan 4, 2024)

  • Many bugs in the WGLMakie backend have become apparent, and are being tracked at Issue #211. Emit a warning if WGLMakie is detected, suggesting that GLMakie is preferred.
  • Various improvements to view_crystal. A distance parameter is no longer expected. Cartesian axes now appear as "compass" in bottom-left. Custom list of reference bonds can be passed. Toggle to view non-magnetic atoms in root crystal. Atoms now colored using CPK/JMol conventions.

v0.5.7

(Nov 26, 2023)

  • Update form factor coefficients, which now include Mn5.
  • Fix merge_correlations and the Parallelizing Calculations tutorial.
  • Remove internal functions *_primitive_crystal. Instead, it is recommended to use the conventional unit cell, and later call reshape_supercell.
  • Require Makie 0.20. An important new feature is resolution-independent scaling of font sizes. New figures expect size instead of resolution, and no longer accept rescale.

v0.5.6

(Nov 8, 2023)

This release initiates some major enhancements to the user interface in support of generalized SU(N) spin models. See this documentation page for an illustration of the new features. Most existing Sunny 0.5 models will continue to work with deprecation warnings, but these will become hard errors Sunny v0.6.

  • General pair couplings are now supported in set_pair_coupling! and set_pair_coupling_at!. :SUN mode supports interactions of any order, but :dipole mode is limited to bilinear and biquadratic coupling of the spin.
  • To perform a calculation with dipoles in the large-$S$ limit, use the new mode :dipole_large_S when constructing a System.
  • Deprecate the option biquad to set_exchange!. Use instead set_pair_coupling!, which generalizes beyond the scalar biquadratic.
  • Deprecate spin_operators, stevens_operators, large_S_spin_operators and large_S_stevens_operators. Use instead spin_matrices and stevens_matrices, which require a specific spin-$S$ label. To infer this, one can use spin_label.
  • Remove unused option energy_tol in SpinWaveTheory.
  • Animated spin dynamics is now possible. Call notify on the result of plot_spins to trigger redrawing of the frame. The argument colorfn to plot_spins supports animation of colors. See example usage for a Heisenberg ferromagnetic.
  • Add set_spin_rescaling! feature, which supports improved spectral measurements at finite-$T$. This follows the method proposed in Dahlbom et al., [arXiv:2310.19905].

v0.5.5

(Sep 29, 2023)

  • reshape_supercell now allows reshaping to multiples of the primitive unit cell, which can speed up certain calculations. This is illustrated in the CoRh₂O₄ powder averaging tutorial.
  • resize_supercell now allows all resizings.
  • Added energy_per_site.
  • set_spiral_order_on_sublattice! cannot work on reshaped systems.
  • Various bug fixes. In particular, an intensity_formula with :full will now uniformly calculate a 3x3 matrix of complex numbers.

v0.5.4

(Sep 11, 2023)

  • Various enhancements to view_crystal. Atoms are now labeled by index, and bonds support interactive inspection (GLMakie only). Font sizes work correctly on Makie v0.20-beta. If using Makie v0.19 on a high-resolution display, pass rescale=1.5 to enlarge font sizes.
  • The function suggest_magnetic_supercell now requires only a list of wavevectors, and will return a $3×3$ matrix that can be programmatically passed to reshape_supercell. The new tolerance parameter tol allows suggest_magnetic_supercell to approximate incommensurate wavevectors with nearby commensurate ones.
  • New functions set_spiral_order! and set_spiral_order_on_sublattice! can be used to initialize a spiral, single-$Q$ order.
  • Sunny now retains all constant energy shifts that have been introduced by anisotropy operators.
  • Fix export_vtk functionality.

v0.5.3

(Sep 8, 2023)

  • Add large_S_spin_operators and large_S_stevens_operators to support single-ion anisotropies in dipole mode without renormalization. Set large_S=true in set_exchange! to avoid renormalization of biquadratics.
  • view_crystal has been rewritten in Makie.
  • plot_spins now expects ghost_radius in physical length units.
  • SpinWaveTheory will (currently) error if provided a system with enable_dipole_dipole!.

v0.5.2

(Aug 30, 2023)

  • Form factors for 5d transition ions.
  • Download links for notebooks and scripts on each doc example
  • Various bug fixes.

v0.5.1

(Aug 23, 2023)

  • Fix binning edge cases.
  • plot_spins accepts resolution argument.

v0.5.0

(Aug 21, 2023)

New features.

Support for Linear Spin Wave Theory in :dipole and :SUN modes. (Thanks Hao Zhang!)

New function minimize_energy! to efficiently find an optimal configuration of spin dipoles or SU(N) coherent states.

Major refactors and enhancements to intensity calculations. This new interface allows unification between LSWT and classical spin dynamics calculations. This interface allows: Custom observables as local quantum operators, better support for linebroadening, and automatic binning to facilitate comparison with experimental data. See intensity_formula for documentation. Use load_nxs to load experimental neutron scattering data.

Breaking changes.

Require Julia 1.9.

Replace set_anisotropy! with a new function set_onsite_coupling! (and similarly set_onsite_coupling_at!). The latter expects an explicit matrix representation for the local Hamiltonian. This can be constructed, e.g., as a linear combination of stevens_operators, or as a polynomial of spin_operators. To understand the mapping between these two, the new function print_stevens_expansion acts on an arbitrary local operator.

Remove set_biquadratic!. Instead, use an optional keyword argument biquad to set_exchange!.

Rename DynamicStructureFactor to dynamic_correlations. Similarly, replace InstantStructureFactor with instant_correlations. The return type has been renamed SampledCorrelations to emphasize that the object may be holding thermodynamic samples, which are collected using add_sample!. Upon construction, the SampledCorrelations object will be empty (no initial sample).

Remove intensities function. Instead, use one of intensities_interpolated or intensities_binned. These will require an intensity_formula, which defines a calculator (e.g., LSWT).

Rename connected_path to reciprocal_space_path, which now returns an xticks object that can be used in plotting. Replace spherical_shell with reciprocal_space_shell that functions similarly.

Rename polarize_spin! to set_dipole! for consistency with set_coherent!. The behavior of the former function is unchanged: the spin at a given site will still be polarized along the provided direction.

Rename all_sites to eachsite consistent with Julia convention for iterators.

Rename reshape_geometry to reshape_supercell, which is the fundamental reshaping function. Rename resize_periodically to resize_supercell.

The constructor SpinInfo now requires a $g$-factor or tensor as a named argument.

The constructor FormFactor no longer accepts an atom index. Instead, the form factors are associated with site-symmetry classes in order of appearance.

v0.4.3

(Jun 23, 2023)

Experimental support for linear SpinWaveTheory, implemented in SU(N) mode. This module may evolve rapidly.

Implement renormalization of single-ion anisotropy and biquadratic interactions when in :dipole mode. This makes the model more faithful to the quantum mechanical Hamiltonian, but is also a breaking change.

Various improvements and bugfixes for to_inhomogeneous. Setting inhomogeneous interactions via set_exchange_at! should now infer the correct bond offset direction, or will report an ambiguity error. Ambiguities can be resolved by passing an explicit offset.

The function remove_periodicity! disables periodicity along specified dimensions.

Rename StaticStructureFactor to InstantStructureFactor.

v0.4.2

(Feb 27, 2023)

Introduce LocalSampler, a framework for MCMC sampling with local spin updates.

Rename print_dominant_wavevectors to print_wrapped_intensities to reduce confusion with the physical instantaneous intensities.

The function spherical_shell now takes a radius in physical units of inverse Å.

New exported functions global_position, magnetic_moment, all_sites.

Remove all uses of Base.deepcopy which resolves crashes.

v0.4.1

(Feb 13, 2023)

The function to_inhomogeneous creates a system that supports inhomogeneous interactions, which can be set using set_exchange_at!, etc.

set_biquadratic! replaces set_exchange_with_biquadratic!.

v0.4.0

(Feb 10, 2023)

This update includes many breaking changes, and is missing some features of 0.3.0.

Creating a spin System

Rename SpinSystem to System. Its constructor now has the form,

System(crystal, dims, infos, mode)

The parameter infos is now a list of SpinInfo objects. Each defines spin angular momentum $S = \frac{1}{2}, 1, \frac{3}{2}, …$, and an optional $g$-factor or tensor.

The parameter mode is one of :SUN or :dipole.

Setting interactions

Interactions are now added mutably to an existing System using the following functions: set_external_field!, set_exchange!, set_onsite_coupling!, enable_dipole_dipole!.

As a convenience, one can use dmvec(D) to convert a DM vector to a $3×3$ antisymmetric exchange matrix.

Fully general single-ion anisotropy is now possible. The function set_onsite_coupling! expects the single ion anisotropy to be expressed as a polynomial in symbolic spin operators 𝒮, or as a linear combination of symbolic Stevens operators 𝒪. For example, an easy axis anisotropy in the direction n may be written D*(𝒮⋅n)^2.

Stevens operators 𝒪[k,q] admit polynomial expression in spin operators 𝒮[α]. Conversely, a polynomial of spin operators can be expressed as a linear combination of Stevens operators. To see this expansion use print_anisotropy_as_stevens.

Inhomogeneous field

An external field can be applied to a single site with set_external_field_at!.

Structure factor rewrite

The calculation of structure factors has been completely rewritten. For the new interface see the documentation tutorials.

Various

  • The "Sampler" interface is in flux. Langevin replaces both LangevinHeunP and LangevinSampler. Local spin-flip Monte Carlo sampling methods are temporarily broken.

  • repeat_periodically replaces extend_periodically.

Additional related functions include resize_periodically and reshape_geometry, the latter being fundamental.

The new function includes the list of symmetry-allowed single ion anisotropies in addition to exchange interactions.

  • When reading CIF files, the field _atom_site_label is now used in place of the field _atom_site_type_symbol.

This is required for correctness. The field _atom_site_label is guaranteed to be present, and is guaranteed to be a distinct label for each symmetry-inequivalent site. Code that explicitly referred to site labels (e.g. in calls to subcrystal) will need to be updated to use the new label.

Why Choose Sunny?

Powerful and easy to use

Feature highlights include:

But still evolving:

  • Sunny does not yet have GPU acceleration of classical spin dynamics. An alternative here might be Vampire.

Advanced theory made accessible

Sunny is also a platform for disseminating foundational advances in quantum magnetism and computational methods. The theory of SU(N) coherent states offers a group theoretic framework to formulate alternative classical limits of a microscopic quantum model. New algorithms enable highly efficient simulation of spin-multipoles and beyond. For reasons not fully understood, such classical limits can be remarkably accurate at finite temperatures when used in conjunction with appropriate renormalization schemes. The SU(N) picture also suggests new geometric interpretations of quantum spin. This leads to a deeper understanding of existing renormalization schemes for traditional spin wave theory, and suggests a whole landscape in which to search for novel topological states. Ongoing Sunny research aims to incorporate more quantum entanglement into the classical picture. Local units of strongly entangled spins will soon be supported and show great promise for cases like dimerized ladders. Longer term, Sunny also aims to include perturbative corrections beyond linear spin wave theory, as well as a non-perturbative treatment of quantum bound states.
