Tutorial: Simulating modern magnetic material systems in mumax3.

This Tutorial article focuses on magnetic phenomena and material systems that have gained significant importance since the original development of mumax3, but are challenging to simulate for users who rely solely on the originally provided examples. Alongside the physical background, we provide hands-on examples of advanced magnetic systems, including detailed explanations of complete mumax3 input files (13 in total, often showing different ways to achieve things), and highlighting potential pitfalls where applicable. Specifically, we explore two approaches to incorporate spin–orbit torques in mumax simulations, considering the trade-off between versatility and speed. We also examine complex multilayer material stacks, including synthetic antiferromagnets, demonstrating different implementation methods that again vary in speed, versatility, and realism. A key criterion for selecting the optimal simulation strategy is its suitability for modeling systems where the magnetization varies significantly in the third dimension. The material covered in this Tutorial paper includes content developed for the mumax3 workshop presented during the summer of 2020 within the context of the IEEE online spintronics seminar, along with additional new topics. Throughout the explanations, we ensure broad applicability beyond specific examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
