Abstract
We propose a powerful extension to combined molecular and spin dynamics that fully captures the coupling between the atomic and spin subsystems via spin-orbit interactions. Its foundation is the inclusion of the local magnetic anisotropies that arise as a consequence of the lattice symmetry breaking due to phonons or defects. We demonstrate that our extension enables the exchange of angular momentum between the atomic and spin subsystems, which is critical to the challenges arising in the study of fluctuations and non-equilibrium processes in complex, natural, and engineered magnetic materials.
