Hot spin-wave resonators and scatterers

Abstract: A method used to achieve efficient optical control of a spin wave system in yttrium iron garnet is described. Using a focused laser beam, spin wave resonators and reflectors are induced by controlled local thermal demagnetization of a thin film. We report on the formation of an optically induced potential well for magnetostatic surface spin waves (MSSWs) leading to the formation of a high-Q MSSW resonator, and a high potential barrier that efficiently reflects magnetostatic backward volume waves.

“…However, it is clear that the scope of the concept is far broader. Indeed, the graded magnonic index can be created through application of external non-uniform stimuli, ranging from the magnetic field due to the electrical currents [82] or magnetic charges [83] through to electric field, spin currents [85] and thermal gradients, including those created optically [25,87,88]. An exciting extension of the concept is that of non-stationary, dynamically controlled graded-index landscapes [89,90].…”

“…Accordingly, there is growing interest in alternative means; techniques have been developed, for example, to control magnon systems via electric-fields in ferrite-ferroelectric stacks [91,92], multiferroic materials such as BiFeO 3 [93], and magnetic thin films with voltage-controllable anisotropies [94]. The emerging field of spin caloritronics [95] which is concerned with the interplay between heat currents and spin angular momentum transport also promises to make an important contribution to this area [96,97].…”

“…Usually, this electrodynamical coupling is considered to be constant, however, as shown in this work, it can suffer significant variations, depending on the temperature of the ferromagnetic material. The temperature of the sample can change due to 10 spin wave dissipation, from 1 to 10 o C [4,5] or up to 100-300 o C because of external heating used to control the spin wave propagation [6,7]. Recently, the typical electrodynamical and magneto-optical methods for spin wave detection/excitation were enriched with the spin transfer torque (STT) [8,9,10] in Pt/magnet thin film structures caused by electrical or thermal spin currents 15 [11,12,13,14,15].…”
