In the previous chapters we described the basic principles of density functional theory, gave examples of how accurate it is to describe static magnetic properties in general, and derived from this basis the master equation for atomistic spin-dynamics; the SLL (or SLLG) equation. However, one term was not described in these chapters, namely the damping parameter. This parameter is a crucial one in the SLL (or SLLG) equation, since it allows for energy and angular momentum to dissipate from the simulation cell. The damping parameter can be evaluated from density functional theory, and the Kohn-Sham equation, and it is possible to determine its value experimentally. This chapter covers in detail the theoretical aspects of how to calculate theoretically the damping parameter. Chapter 8 is focused, among other things, on the experimental detection of the damping, using ferromagnetic resonance.

Density functional theory (DFT) has established itself as a very capable platform for modelling from first principles electronic, optical, mechanical and structural properties of materials. Starting out from the Dirac equation for the many-body system of electrons and nuclei, an effective theory has been developed allowing for materials specific and parameter free simulations of non-magnetic and magnetic solid matter. In this Chapter an introduction will be given to DFT, the Hohenberg-Kohn theorems, the Kohn-Sham equation, and the formalism for how to deal with non-collinear magnetism.
