BORIS Computational Spintronics
Speaker: Dr. Serban Lepadatu (University of Central Lancashhire)
Title: BORIS Computational Spintronics
Abstract: BORIS is a comprehensive multi-physics open-source software, combining micromagnetic and atomistic modelling capabilities with drift-diffusion spin transport modelling and a heat flow solver in multi-material structures. A multi-mesh paradigm is employed, allowing modelling of complex multi-layered structures with independent discretization and arbitrary relative positioning between different computational meshes, as well as multi-scale atomistic and micromagnetic computations.
In this talk I’ll introduce the software and discuss some of its applications in previous works, including the micromagnetic Monte Carlo method based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch equation, emergence of transient domain wall skyrmions after ultrafast demagnetization, AMR-induced spin Seebeck effect, and interfacial spin torques in magnetic multilayers.
Bio: Serban Lepadatu is a Senior Lecturer in the Jeremiah Horrocks Institute for Mathematics, Physics and Astronomy, specializing in thin film magnetism, multiferroic materials, and micromagnetics simulations. Serban completed a PhD in Condensed Matter Physics at the University of York in 2007, and has been involved in a number of large collaborative networks and projects, including Spin@RT, ESF – SPINCURRENT, FP7 V-SMMART, EMRP Nanostrain, and VAMAS PFM, as a postdoctoral researcher within the Condensed Matter Group at Leeds University, and as a Higher Research Scientist at the National Physical Laboratory in the Functional Materials Group.
