Higher order magnetoelasticity energy corrections in systems with cubic symmetry

Jakub Šebesta, Ondřej Faiman, Dominik Legut

Abstract

Magnetoelastic properties play a vital role in industrial applications. Despite being hidden behind either purely magnetic or elastic behavior, magnetoelasticity takes place in a wide range of devices as transducers, acoustic actuators, or fast response sensors. In this work, we inspect the impact of higher-order terms on the anisotropic magnetostriction behavior. Regarding ab-initio calculations, the anisotropic magnetostriction can be related to the strain dependence of the magnetocrystaline energy. Commonly, the description is restricted to a linear strain dependence in the magnetoelastic energy. Here, we derive higher-order terms in strain for bcc and fcc crystal structures. Using a simple parametrization, we show that the influence of the higher-order strain terms is negligible for the studied cubic systems.
