説明

An anomaly in the magnon dispersion of the amorphous ferromagnet Co$_{4}$P, often referred to as a `roton-like' excitation, attracted much attention half a century ago. With the current interest in heat and spin currents in amorphous magnets, we apply modern simulation methods, combining reverse Monte Carlo to build the atomic structure and the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz equation for spin dynamics, to re-investigate the magnetic excitation spectrum. We find two magnon valleys, one at the origin and another at a finite wavenumber close to the observations, but without a magnon gap. We conclude that the second dip is due to Umklapp scattering caused by residual long-range order, which may be an alternative explanation of the putative roton excitation. Our study paves the way to study magnon transport in amorphous magnets and related spintronic applications.
