Cluster multipole dynamics in non-collinear antiferromagnets

A systematic framework to investigate spin dynamics in non-collinear antiferromagnet is proposed. Taking Mn$_3$Sn as a representative example, we derive an effective low energy model based on the multipole expansion of the magnetic structure, and investigate the uniform precession and the domain wall dynamics. We show that the solution for the effective model accurately reproduces the numerical calculation of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equations. Our results indicate that Mn$_3$Sn has preferable properties for applications to a racetrack memory and a spin torque oscillator, and thus, is a promising candidate for new devices by using the multipole degrees of freedom.
