However, in magnets stacked by antiferromagnetic(AFM) exchange coupling, which have recently aroused significant interest for potential applications in spintronics, Bose–Einstein distribution populates magnon states across all energies from opposite eigenmodes, and hence the magnon spin current is largely compensated. Contrary to this common observation,here, we show that magnets with X-type AFM stacking, where opposite magnetic sublattices form orthogonal intersecting chains, support giant magnon spin currents with minimal compensation. Our model Hamiltonian calculations predict magnetic chain locking of magnon spin currents in these X-type magnets, significantly reducing their compensation ratio. In addition, the one-dimensional nature of the chain-like magnetic sublattices enhances magnon spin conductivities surpassing those of two-dimensional ferromagnets and canonical altermagnets. Notably, uncompensated X-type magnets, such as odd-layer antiferromagnets and ferrimagnets, can exhibit magnon spin currents polarized opposite to those expected by their net magnetization. These unprecedented properties of X-type magnets, combined with their inherent advantages resulting from AFM coupling, offer a promising new path for low-power high-performance spintronics.展开更多

We theoretically analyze BICs in a dissipative cavity magnonic system and derive the critical condition for BICs bifurcation.

When the dissipative coupling strength reaches a critical value, we observe the bifurcation of BICs, which is consistent with the theoretical prediction. Our systematic investigation of the evolution of BICs concerning the dissipative coupling strength and the discovery of the BIC bifurcation may enhance the sensitivity of BICs to external perturbations, potentially enabling applications in ultrasensitive detection.展开更多

Our results demonstrate the coexistence of first-and second-order magnonic topologies, with non-Hermitian effects exhibiting size-dependent behavior. In two-dimensional systems, non-Hermitian terms induce a flat band and gap closure along high-symmetry paths, whereas in one-dimensional systems, a finite band gap persists for small system sizes. Additionally, the corner states remain robust, and a pronounced non-Hermitian skin effect emerges. Our findings provide new insights into magnon-based devices, emphasizing the impact of non-Hermitian effects on their design and functionality.展开更多

By varying the microwave frequency, external bias magnetic field, and in-plane wave vector, in addition to observing the dipole-exchange spin waves excited by parallel parametric pumping, we further observe broadband spin wave excitation within the dipole-exchange spin wave spectrum. This broadband excitation results from the combined effects of parallel and perpendicular parametric pumping, induced by irregularities in the excitation geometry, as well as magnon–magnon scattering arising from the absence of certain spin wave modes. Our findings offer new insights into the mechanisms of energy dissipation and relaxation processes caused by spin wave excitation in magnetic devices operating at high power.展开更多

Like many low phase noise oscillators, a cavity magnonic oscillator faces the challenge that its narrow resonance profile is not well suited for injection locking amplification. This work presents an improved design for such an oscillator configured as an injection locking amplifier(ILA) with an extended lock range. The proposed design features a two-stage architecture, consisting of a pre-amplification oscillator and a cavity magnonic oscillator, separated by an isolator to prevent backward locking.By optimizing the circuit parameters of each stage, the proposed design achieved an order of magnitude increase in lock range, when compared to its predecessors, all while preserving the phase noise quality of the input, making it well-suited for narrowband, sensitive signal amplification. Furthermore, this work provides a method for using oscillators with high spectral purity as injection locking amplifiers.展开更多

It is found that four energy gaps and corresponding four frequencie in middle of energy gaps exist in the magnon band along Kx direction perpendicular to the superlattice plane. The spin quantum numbers and the interlayer exchange couplings all affect the four frequencies in middle of the energy gaps. When all interlayer exchange couplings are same, the effect of spin quantum numbers on the frequency wg1 in middle of the energy gap Δw12 is complicated, and the frequency wg1 depends on the match of spin quantum numbers in each layer. Meanwhile, the frequencies wg2, wg3, and wg4 in middle of other energy gaps increase monotonously with increasing spin quantum numbers. When the spin quantum numbers in each layer are same, the frequencies wg1, wg2, wg3, and wg4 all increase monotonously with increasing interlayer exchange couplings.展开更多

文摘We investigate magnonic topology in the breathing Su–Schrieffer–Heeger(SSH) model, incorporating non-Hermitian effects. Our results demonstrate the coexistence of first-and second-order magnonic topologies, with non-Hermitian effects exhibiting size-dependent behavior. In two-dimensional systems, non-Hermitian terms induce a flat band and gap closure along high-symmetry paths, whereas in one-dimensional systems, a finite band gap persists for small system sizes. Additionally, the corner states remain robust, and a pronounced non-Hermitian skin effect emerges. Our findings provide new insights into magnon-based devices, emphasizing the impact of non-Hermitian effects on their design and functionality.

文摘We theoretically demonstrate that multipartite entanglement and one-way Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen(EPR)steering in a magnon frequency comb(MFC)can be generated in a hybrid magnon-skyrmion system.When the system is driven by two microwave fields at the magnonic whispering gallery mode(m WGM)and the skyrmion,the skyrmion can be simultaneously entangled with three magnon modes of the MFC and the entanglement of the first-order magnon pair in the MFC also appears.The results show that the perfect one-way steering between the skyrmion and the three magnons can be obtained.Interestingly,the steering direction can be manipulated by controlling the amplitudes of two drive fields,which provides flexibility in controlling the asymmetry of the EPR steering and may well have practical applications.Moreover,the genuine tripartite entanglement among the skyrmion and the first-order magnon pair can be achieved with appropriate parameters in the steady state.Our work exhibits that the MFC has great potential in preparing multi-mode entanglement resources,with promising applications in quantum communication.

文摘We utilize conventional wave-vector-resolved Brillouin light scattering technology to investigate the spin wave response in YIG thin films under high-power microwave excitation. By varying the microwave frequency, external bias magnetic field, and in-plane wave vector, in addition to observing the dipole-exchange spin waves excited by parallel parametric pumping, we further observe broadband spin wave excitation within the dipole-exchange spin wave spectrum. This broadband excitation results from the combined effects of parallel and perpendicular parametric pumping, induced by irregularities in the excitation geometry, as well as magnon–magnon scattering arising from the absence of certain spin wave modes. Our findings offer new insights into the mechanisms of energy dissipation and relaxation processes caused by spin wave excitation in magnetic devices operating at high power.

文摘The magnons(the quanta of collective spin-wave excitations)in two-dimensional van der Waals(vd W)magnets exhibit some intriguing characteristics,such as spin Nernst effect,topological magnons,Weyl magnons,moirémagnons,magnon valley Hall effect,etc.,and can be regulated through approaches such as stacking,electric doping,pressure,strain and twisting,opening unprecedented avenues to explore fundamental magnetic physics and spin-based technologies.Over the past few years,intense research efforts have been invested in unraveling magnon properties in vd W materials.This review comprehensively summarizes recent advancements in understanding magnons in vd W magnetic systems,spanning fundamental theories and experimental frontiers.It also introduces the experimental techniques widely used in this field,including inelastic neutron scattering,Raman/Brillouin spectroscopy,time-resolved spectroscopy and inelastic magnetotunneling spectroscopy,and discusses the coupling between magnons and other excitations,such as phonons and excitons.

文摘Interlayer interactions in bilayer or multilayer electron systems have been studied extensively,and many exotic physical phenomena have been revealed.However,systematic investigations of the impact of interlayer interactions on magnonic physics are very few.Here,we use a van derWaals(vdW)honeycomb heterostructure as a platform to investigate the modulation of magnon properties in honeycomb AA-and AB-stacking heterostructures with ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interlayer interactions,including topological phases and thermal Hall conductivity.Our results reveal that interlayer interactions play a crucial role in modulating the magnonic topology and Hall transport properties of magnetic heterostructures,with potential for experimental realization.

文摘A cavity magnonic oscillator uses the coupling of a planar transmission line oscillator(cavity) and spin excitations(magnons) in a ferrimagnetic material to achieve superior frequency stability and reduced phase noise. Like many low phase noise oscillators, a cavity magnonic oscillator faces the challenge that its narrow resonance profile is not well suited for injection locking amplification. This work presents an improved design for such an oscillator configured as an injection locking amplifier(ILA) with an extended lock range. The proposed design features a two-stage architecture, consisting of a pre-amplification oscillator and a cavity magnonic oscillator, separated by an isolator to prevent backward locking.By optimizing the circuit parameters of each stage, the proposed design achieved an order of magnitude increase in lock range, when compared to its predecessors, all while preserving the phase noise quality of the input, making it well-suited for narrowband, sensitive signal amplification. Furthermore, this work provides a method for using oscillators with high spectral purity as injection locking amplifiers.

文摘This work is devoted to studying the magnon-magnon interaction effect in a two-dimensional checkerboard ferromagnet with the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction.Using a first-order Green function method,we analyze the influence of magnon-magnon interaction on the magnon band topology.We find that Chern numbers of two renormalized magnon bands are different above and below the critical temperature,which means that the magnon band gap-closing phenomenon is an indicator for one topological phase transition of the checkerboard ferromagnet.Our results show that the checkerboard ferromagnet possesses two topological phases,and its topological phase can be controlled either via the temperature or the applied magnetic field due to magnon-magnon interactions.Interestingly,it is found that the topological phase transition can occur twice with the increase in the temperature,which is different from the results of the honeycomb ferromagnet.

文摘The frequency in middle of magnon energy band in a five-layer ferromagnetic superlattice is studied by using the linear spin-wave approach and Green＇s function technique. It is found that four energy gaps and corresponding four frequencie in middle of energy gaps exist in the magnon band along Kx direction perpendicular to the superlattice plane. The spin quantum numbers and the interlayer exchange couplings all affect the four frequencies in middle of the energy gaps. When all interlayer exchange couplings are same, the effect of spin quantum numbers on the frequency wg1 in middle of the energy gap Δw12 is complicated, and the frequency wg1 depends on the match of spin quantum numbers in each layer. Meanwhile, the frequencies wg2, wg3, and wg4 in middle of other energy gaps increase monotonously with increasing spin quantum numbers. When the spin quantum numbers in each layer are same, the frequencies wg1, wg2, wg3, and wg4 all increase monotonously with increasing interlayer exchange couplings.

文摘Magnon-magnon coupling in synthetic antiferromagnets advances it as hybrid magnonic systems to explore the quantum information technologies.To induce magnon-magnon coupling,the parity symmetry between two magnetization needs to be broken.Here we experimentally demonstrate a convenient method to break the parity symmetry by the asymmetric structure.We successfully introduce a magnon-magnon coupling in Ir-based synthetic antiferromagnets CoFeB(10 nm)/Ir(t_(Ir)=0.6 nm,1.2 nm)/CoFeB(13 nm).Remarkably,we find that the weakly uniaxial anisotropy field(-20 Oe)makes the magnon-magnon coupling anisotropic.The coupling strength presented by a characteristic anticrossing gap varies in the range between 0.54 GHz and 0.90 GHz for t_(Ir)=0.6 nm,and between 0.09 GHz and 1.4 GHz for t_(Ir)=1.2 nm.Our results demonstrate a feasible way to induce magnon-magnon coupling by an asymmetric structure and tune the coupling strength by varying the direction of in-plane magnetic field.The magnon-magnon coupling in this highly tunable material system could open exciting perspectives for exploring quantum-mechanical coupling phenomena.

文摘Using the plane-wave expansion method, the spin-wave band structures of two-dimensional magnonic crystals consisting of square arrays of different shape scatterers are calculated numerically, and the effects of rotating rectangle and hexagon scaterers on the gaps are studied, respectively. The results show that the gaps can be substantially opened and tuned by rotating the scatterers. This approach should be helpful in designing magnonic crystals with desired gaps.
