about Quloud-Mag
Quloud-Mag provides support for the development of magnetic materials and devices.
To date, magnetic property simulations have not been sufficiently accurate. However, Quloud-Mag calculates material properties with high precision, enabling efficient and exhaustive material exploration.
This is a useful tool for the research and development of magnetic materials, in aspects including magnetocaloric effects, skyrmions in layers, and magnetic nanoparticles.

Calculation of Entropy Change (Magnetocaloric Material Development)
-
The magnetocaloric effect has been the focus of considerable research attention as a next-generation refrigeration method. Therefore, the search for magnetic materials that exhibit a large magnetocaloric effect is currently active.
-
Entropy change is an important index for determining the magnitude of the magnetocaloric effect.
-
The La–Fe–Si system is considered a potential refrigerant material for air conditioners. There is thus an active search for dopants that have Curie temperatures close to room temperature.

Skyrmions Magnetic Phase in Two-Dimensional Layered MX3 Material
-
The skyrmions phase, in which spins form a spiral order, has been reported only in systems with broken spatial inversion symmetries.
-
There have been no previous studies on the skyrmions phase in van der Waals centrosymmetric 2D materials. This is the first report of such a phase.

Method
Method of Quloud-Mag
Using density functional theory (DFT), electronic structure calculations are performed based on atomic structures.
From the obtained electronic structure results, the Heisenberg Hamiltonian is constructed. Monte Carlo calculations are then performed on the obtained Heisenberg Hamiltonian.
Micromagnetic simulation is performed using the results of the Monte Carlo and electronic structure calculations.
