Monocrystalline Freestanding Three-Dimensional Yttrium-Iron-Garnet Magnon Nanoresonators

Phase Diagram for Magnon Condensate in Yttrium Iron Garnet Film

Recently, magnons, which are quasiparticles describing the collective motion of spins, were found to undergo Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) at room temperature in films of Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG). Unlike other quasiparticle BEC systems, this system has a spectrum with two degenerate minima, which makes it possible for the system to have two condensates in momentum space. Recent Brillouin Li...

Observation of magnon-mediated current drag in Pt/yttrium iron garnet/Pt(Ta) trilayers

Pure spin current, a flow of spin angular momentum without flow of any accompanying net charge, is generated in two common ways. One makes use of the spin Hall effect in normal metals (NM) with strong spin-orbit coupling, such as Pt or Ta. The other utilizes the collective motion of magnetic moments or spin waves with the quasi-particle excitations called magnons. A popular material for the lat...

Synthesis of Iron Yttrium Garnet Nanoparticles by Reverse Microemulsion Method

Colloidal nanodispersion of Iron Yttrium Garnet has been preparedbymixing the two ternary mixture of Triton X-100 (surfactant), n-heptane and aqueous solution that differing only in the aqueous phase.Ethanolwas added as cosurfactant and mixed them by ultrasound bath. By mixing these twomicroemulsions, Iron Yttrium garnet (Y3 Fe5 O12) nanodispersionwas obtained. Solids were settled by centrifuge...

Electron-phonon coupling in iron-doped yttrium aluminum garnet

The electron-phonon coupling in iron-doped yttrium aluminum garnet crystals is studied in the theoretical framework of linear and quadratic coupling. The line shift and line broadening of the zero phonon line of iron centers as a function of temperature between 10 and 150 K is qualitatively and quantitatively explained. The spectroscopic features of the line, deduced from the theory of lattice ...
