  The amplitude expansion for a magnetic phase-field-crystal (magnetic APFC)
model enables a convenient coarse-grained description of crystalline structures
under the influence of magnetic fields. Considering higher-order magnetic
coupling terms, we demonstrate the possibility of tuning the magnetic
anisotropy in these models. This allows for reproducing the easy and hard
direction of magnetization. Such a result can be achieved without increasing
the computational cost, enabling simulations of the manipulation of dislocation
networks and microstructures in ferromagnetic materials. As a demonstration, we
report on the simulation of the shrinkage of a spherical grain with the
magnetic anisotropy of Fe.
