Spin dynamics controlled by magnetoelastic coupling and applied electric fields might play a vital role in future developments of magnonics, i.e., the exploitation of spin waves for the transmission and processing of information. We have performed broadband spin-wave spectroscopy on a magnetostrictive CoFeB alloy grown on a ferrolectric BaTiO3 substrate causing elastic strain with a quasi-perio...

The ground-state and low-energy properties of the two-dimensional J1−J2 Heisenberg model in the collinear phase are investigated using finite-size spin-wave theory [Q. F. Zhong and S. Sorella, Europhys. Lett. 21, 629 (1993)], and Lanczos exact diagonalizations. For spin one-half – where the effects of quantization are the strongest – the spinwave expansion turns out to be quantitatively accurat...

Through numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, we demonstrate that magnetic chains with uniaxial anisotropy support stable structures, separating ferromagnetic domains of opposite magnetization. These structures, domain walls in a quantum system, are shown to remain stable if they interact with a spin wave. We find that a domain wall transmits the longitudinal component ...

We report unidirectional transmission of micron-wide spin waves beams in a 55 nm thin YIG. downscaled chiral coupling technique implementing Ni 80 Fe 20 nanowires arrays with different widths and lattice spacing to study the non-reciprocal exchange down λ ≈ nm. A full wave spectroscopy analysis these high wavevector coupled-modes shows some difficulties characterize their propagation properties...

Collective and single-particle spin-flip excitations of a two-dimensional electron gas in a semimagnetic Cd(1-x)Mn(x)Te quantum well are observed by resonant Raman scattering. Application of a magnetic field splits the spin subbands and a spin polarization is induced in the electron gas. Above 1 T the collective modes, which disperse with the in-plane wave vector, dominate the spectra. The loca...

Using spin-density-functional theory, we study the electronic states of a two-dimensional parabolic quantum dot with up to N = 58 electrons. We observe a shell structure for the filling of the dot with electrons. Hund’s rule determines the spin configuration of the ground state, but only up to 22 electrons. At specific N , the ground state is degenerate, and a small elliptical deformation of th...

The problem of spin squeezing with a bimodal condensate in the presence of particle losses is solved analytically by the Monte Carlo wave function method. We find the largest obtainable spin squeezing as a function of the one-body loss rate, the two-body and three-body rate constants, and the s-wave scattering length.

Problems of strongly interacting electrons can be greatly simplified by reducing them to effective quantum spin models. The initial step is renormalization of the Hamiltonian into a lower energy subspace. The positive and negative U Hubbard models are explicitly transformed into the Heisenberg and -x-xz models respectively. Basic tools of quantum magnetism are introduced and used: spin coherent...

An inherent element of research and applications in photonics is a beam of light. In magnonics, which is the magnetic counterpart of photonics, where spin waves are used instead of electromagnetic waves to transmit and process information, the lack of a beam source limits exploration. Here, we present an approach enabling generation of narrow spin wave beams in thin homogeneous nanosized ferrom...
