Within the Hartree FockRPA analysis, we derive the spin wave spectrum for the weak ferromagnetic phase of the Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice. Assuming a uniform magnetization, the polar (optical) and acoustic branches of the spin wave excitations are determined. The bipartite lattice geometry produces a qdependent phase difference between the spin wave amplitudes on the two sub-lattices...

Spin–wave devices are regarded as one of themost promising candidates for future computation and data processing. How tomanipulate spin–wave propagation is a key issue in realizing the functionality of these of devices. The existingmanipulationmethods have serious drawbacks for constructing practical spin–wave devices. Here, we propose an approach to harness the amplitude andmode excitation of ...

We present spectral measurements of spin-wave excitations driven by direct spin-polarized current in a free layer of nanoscale Ir20Mn80/Ni80Fe20/Cu/Ni80Fe20 spin valves. The measurements reveal that large-amplitude coherent spin-wave modes are excited over a wide range of bias current. The frequency of these excitations exhibits a series of jumps as a function of current due to transitions betw...

We study the quantum spin waves associated to skyrmion textures. We show that the zero-point energy associated to the quantum spin fluctuations of a noncollinear spin texture produce Casimir-like magnetic fields. We study the effect of these Casimir fields on the topologically protected noncollinear spin textures known as skyrmions. In a Heisenberg model with Dzyalonshinkii-Moriya interactions,...

An effective spin-orbit coupling can be generated in a cold atom system by engineering atom-light interactions. In this Letter we study spin-1/2 and spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates with Rashba spin-orbit coupling, and find that the condensate wave function will develop nontrivial structures. From numerical simulation we have identified two different phases. In one phase the ground state is a s...

The formation of quasi-2D nonlinear spin-wave eigenmodes in longitudinally magnetized stripes of a ferrimagnetic film, the so-called guided spin-wave bullets, was experimentally observed by using time- and space-resolved Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy and confirmed by numerical simulation. They represent stable spin-wave packets propagating along a waveguide structure, for which both t...

We experimentally demonstrate that the spin-orbit interaction can be utilized for direct electric-field tuning of the propagation of spin waves in a single-crystal yttrium iron garnet magnonic waveguide. Magnetoelectric coupling not due to the spin-orbit interaction and, hence, an order of magnitude weaker leads to electric-field modification of the spin-wave velocity for waveguide geometries w...

Linear spin wave theory provides the leading term in the calculation of the excitation spectra of long-range ordered magnetic systems as a function of 1/√S. This term is acquired using the Holstein-Primakoff approximation of the spin operator and valid for small δS fluctuations of the ordered moment. We propose an algorithm that allows magnetic ground states with general moment directions and s...

The ground state of the two-dimensional electron gas near nu=1 is investigated by inelastic light scattering measurements carried down to very low temperatures. Away from nu=1, the ferromagnetic spin wave collapses and a new low-energy spin wave emerges below the Zeeman gap. The emergent spin wave shows soft behavior as its energy increases with temperature and reaches the Zeeman energy for tem...
