abstract = {Topological insulators are insulating bulk materials
hosting conducting surface states. Their magnetic doping
breaks time-reversal symmetry and generates numerous
interesting effects such as dissipationless transport.
Nonetheless, their dynamical properties are still poorly
understood. Here, we perform a systematic investigation of
transverse spin excitations of 3d and 4d single impurities
embedded in two prototypical topological insulators (Bi2Te3
and Bi2Se3). The impurity-induced states within the bulk gap
of the topological insulators are found to have a drastic
impact on the spin excitation spectra, resulting in very
high lifetimes reaching up to microseconds. An intuitive
picture of the spin dynamics is obtained by mapping onto a
generalized Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert phenomenological model.
The first quantity extracted from this mapping procedure is
the magnetic anisotropy energy, which is then compared to
the one provided by the magnetic force theorem. This
uncovers some difficulties encountered with the latter,
which can provide erroneous results for impurities with a
high density of states at the Fermi energy. Moreover, the
Gilbert damping and nutation tensors are obtained. The
nutation effects can lead to a non-negligible shift in the
spin excitation resonance in the high-frequency regime.
Finally, we study the impact of the surface state on the
spin dynamics, which may be severely altered due to the
repositioning of the impurity-induced state in comparison to
the bulk case. Our systematic investigation of this series
of magnetic impurities sheds light on their spin dynamics
within topological insulators, with implications for
available and future experimental studies.},
