A pure Rust library for simulating spin dynamics, spin current generation, and conversion phenomena in magnetic and topological materials.
Inspired by the pioneering work of Prof. Eiji Saitoh's Group (University of Tokyo / RIKEN CEMS)
spintronics is a comprehensive Rust crate for simulating spintronics and quantum materials phenomena. Built on the scirs2 scientific computing ecosystem, it leverages Rust's type safety and zero-cost abstractions to deliver fast, safe, and physically correct simulations of:
"Python loops are too slow, but C++ memory management is exhausting" - This library is designed for researchers and students who want the performance of compiled code with the safety of Rust.
