| contents | A simple and computationally efficient algorithm enables implementing negative temperature values in a spin dynamics simulation. The algorithm uses a Langevin spin dynamics thermostat with a negative damping parameter, enabling the thermalization of an arbitrary interacting spin system to the Gibbs energy distribution with a given negative temperature value. Canonical spin dynamics simulations at a negative temperature are as robust as conventional positive spin temperature simulations, providing a tool for quantitative dynamic studies of the physics of highly excited magnetic states. Two simulation case studies describing spin systems with antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic ground states are explored. The phase transitions occurring in the negative temperature range do not necessarily exhibit similarities with their positive temperature counterparts. The transition temperatures and the character of spin alignment vary depending on the spatial range and strength of spin-spin interactions. |
