Abstract:
We demonstrate the nonreciprocity of electrically and thermally generated incoherent magnon transport using the magnetization direction of a Py wire placed on top of an ultrathin YIG film. We show that the transport properties of thermally generated magnons under a Py wire depend on the relative orientation between the temperature gradient and the Py-magnetization direction. The symmetries of this nonreciprocal magnon transport match with those predicted by the remote dipolar interaction between YIG and Py magnons, controlled by the chirality of the YIG magnon dipolar stray fields. We also show that the directional magnon generation by the spin Seebeck effect from the Py wire displays the symmetries expected from the chiral spin Seebeck effect.

The relaxation of the k↘=0 magnon in the antiferromagnet FeF2 is studied theoretically. Several magnon‐magnon and magnon‐phonon interaction processes are investigated. It is shown that despite the large magnetoelastic interaction in FeF2, magnon‐phonon processes give negligible contribution the the lindewidth. The existing temperature dependent linewidth measurements can be accounted for by four‐magnon processes.

We present a microscopic theory of magnon transport in ferromagnetic insulators (FIs). Using magnon injection through microwave pumping, we propose a way to generate magnon dc currents and show how to enhance their amplitudes in hybrid ferromagnetic insulating junctions. To this end, focusing on a single FI, we first revisit microwave pumping at finite (room) temperature from the microscopic viewpoint of magnon injection. Next, we apply it to two kinds of hybrid ferromagnetic insulating junctions. The first is the junction between a quasiequilibrium magnon condensate and magnons being pumped by microwave, while the second is the junction between such pumped magnons and noncondensed magnons. We show that quasiequilibrium magnon condensates generate ac and dc magnon currents, while noncondensed magnons produce essentially a dc magnon current. The ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) drastically increases the density of the pumped magnons and enhances such magnon currents. Lastly, using microwave pumping in a single FI, we discuss the possibility that a magnon current through an Aharonov-Casher phase flows persistently even at finite temperature. We show that such a magnon current arises even at finite temperature in the presence of magnon-magnon interactions. Due to FMR, its amplitude becomes much larger than the condensed magnon current.

We report that magnetostatic magnon transport can be controlled by local parametric excitation of short-wavelength magnons. We found that the parametrically excited magnon either enhances or suppresses the traveling magnetostatic magnons, depending on the frequency of the magnetostatic magnons. Our time-domain measurements of the magnon transport show that the change in the static magnetization due to the creation of the parametrically excited magnons is responsible for the control of the magnetostatic magnon transport. This result provides insight into magnon-based devices without complex microprocessing.

Recent optical experiments have shown that the two-magnon spectra of antiferromagnets cannot be properly understood using simple non-interacting spin-wave theory. In these experiments two magnons are created close together in real space where they interact strongly to produce large observable effects. They therefore provide an excellent opportunity to study magnon-magnon interactions. A general theory of the two-magnon states using Green function methods is developed and the results applied to the spin-only antiferromagnet RbMnF3 and to CoF2 where the orbital contribution to the magnetic moment is important. The predicted optical properties are in good agreement with experiment.

We present evidence of ballistic transport of energy by high-energy, large wave vector magnons in the antiferromagnet MnF2. Nonequilibrium magnons are created by heat pulses or by selective laser excitation throughout the Brillouin zone, using the magnon sideband or far-infrared (FIR) two-magnon absorptions. The ballistic magnon signal is extracted from the total observed signal and used to calculate the magnon velocity as a function of magnon energy. The results compare favorably with theory. Implications of our results to various types of magnetically ordered lattices are discussed.

We investigate the influence of magnon decays on the nonequilibrium dynamics of parametrically excited magnons in the magnetic insulator yttrium-iron garnet (YIG). Our investigations are motivated by a recent experiment by Noack et al. [Phys. Status Solidi B 256, 1900121 (2019)] where an enhancement of the spin-pumping effect in YIG was observed near the magnetic field strength where magnon decays via confluence of magnons become kinematically possible. To explain the experimental findings, we have derived and solved kinetic equations for the nonequilibrium magnon distribution. The effect of magnon decays is taken into account microscopically via collision integrals derived from interaction vertices involving three powers of magnon operators. Our results agree quantitatively with the experimental data.

We study magnon-magnon interactions and their effects in a spiral magnet induced by combination of an antiferromagnetic Heisenberg interaction and a Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction. We show that the main effect of magnon-magnon interactions on low-energy magnons is to renormalize the coefficient of energy dispersion. This could explain why some experiments are consistent with the noninteracting theory. We also show that although the magnon-magnon interactions induce the pair amplitude for low-energy magnons, its effect on the excitation energy is negligible. This suggests that for magnons the finite pair amplitude does not necessarily accompany the pair condensation.
