Deep learning models reveal hidden mesoscopic dynamics in magnetic materials
Deep Mesoscopic Dynamics
Abstract: Microscopic simulations resolve spatial patterns but are feasible only over small domains and short timescales, whereas bulk descriptions erase those patterns through spatial averaging. Mesoscopic fields preserve this spatial organisation, but their effective equations are known only for selected microscopic systems and scaling limits. We introduce Deep Mesoscopic Dynamics (DeepMesoD), which uses neural networks to learn an effective mesoscopic field equation from microscopic trajectories at a prescribed coarse-graining scale. For the nonconserved dissipative dynamics studied here, DeepMesoD learns the free-energy functional with a spatial interaction kernel and a state-dependent dissipation operator constrained by the fluctuation-dissipation relation. We first validate the construction in the Ising-Kac model, where the learned mesoscopic equation recovers the known hydrodynamic limit and rollouts remain stable far beyond the training horizon. We then treat two systems without closed-form mesoscopic descriptions. For a two-dimensional Heisenberg ferromagnet governed by atomistic spin dynamics, DeepMesoD learns a mesoscopic model whose predictions match atomistic references up to 1 ns, and a rollout with an unseen initial condition remains bounded up to 25 ns. For layered CrBr$_3$, the learned kernel captures the suppression and sign reversal of interlayer coupling at a stacking fault whose location and strength are not supplied as inputs. Controlled changes to the learned interaction show how fault number and placement shape multistep magnetic responses, complementing our magneto-photoluminescence measurements. Across the two atomistic systems, DeepMesoD achieves a three-to-four-order-of-magnitude reduction in wall-clock time compared with atomistic spin dynamics.
Flare speeds up micromagnetic simulations by predicting magnetization directly
FLARE: Flow Matching with Local Axis-Angle Representations for Stochastic Micromagnetic Evolution
Abstract: Long-horizon micromagnetic simulation remains expensive because conventional and learned solvers typically propagate Landau--Lifshitz--Gilbert (LLG) dynamics step by step. Existing learned approaches generally retain stepwise integration or model deterministic evolution, leaving full-field, direct-horizon stochastic prediction largely unexplored. We propose FLARE, a flow-matching framework that recasts stochastic finite-time magnetization prediction as conditional transport over anchor-relative local axis-angle rotations. This rotation-space formulation respects the intrinsic geometry of magnetization dynamics and preserves pointwise unit norm by construction. By explicitly conditioning on the physical prediction horizon, FLARE directly generates full-field stochastic endpoints across multiple target times without stepwise integration. Against the strongest single-checkpoint external baseline on each metric, FLARE achieves 29.9% lower angular energy distance ($15.30^\circ$), and a 37.3% lower fair energy score (0.393). On a representative composed 5-ns two-segment protocol, FLARE achieves a $3{,}062\times$ best-batch speedup over the widely used GPU micromagnetic solver MuMax$^3$ on a single GPU.
