Abstract
We present spin-wave dispersion in Sm(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_x$)$_{12}$ calculated based on first-principles. Anisotropy in the lowest branch of the spin-wave dispersion around the $Î$ point is discussed. Spin-waves propagate more easily along $a^*$-axis than along $c^*$-axis, especially in SmFe$_{12}$. We also compare values of the spin-wave stiffness with those obtained from an experiment. The calculated values are in good agreement with the experimental values.
