Configurable Artificial Spin Ice with Site-Specific Local Magnetic Fields

Vineeth Mohanan Parakkat, Gavin M. Macauley, Robert L. Stamps, Kannan M. Krishnan

Summary: This research demonstrates the tunability of the ground state for a hybrid artificial spin ice made of Fe nanomagnets, with three distinct magnetic textures identified by varying site-specific exchange-bias fields: a striped ferromagnetic phase, an antiferromagnetic phase achievable through external field protocols, and an unconventional ground state with magnetically charged pairs embedded in an antiferromagnetic matrix. Monte Carlo simulations support the results of field protocols and show that pinning tunes relaxation timescales and critical behavior.

Summary: Magnonics is a burgeoning research field that focuses on utilizing spin waves to transmit, store, and process information, showing significant progress in the past decade. The key challenges include excitation of sub-100 nm wavelength magnons, manipulation on the nanoscale, and creation of sub-micrometre devices using low-Gilbert damping magnetic materials. Magnonics offers advantages such as lower energy consumption, easier integrability, compatibility with CMOS structure, reprogrammability, shorter wavelength, smaller device features, anisotropic properties, negative group velocity, non-reciprocity, and efficient tunability by various external stimuli.

Electromagnetic Approach to Cavity Spintronics

Rair Macedo, Rory C. Holland, Paul G. Baity, Luke J. McLellan, Karen L. Livesey, Robert L. Stamps, Martin P. Weides, Dmytro A. Bozhko

Summary: The emerging field of cavity spintronics investigates the strong coupling between standing electromagnetic waves and spin waves, magnons, in microwave cavity resonators. Control of coupling strength is crucial for applications in areas such as quantum communication and dark matter detection, leading to intensive efforts to understand coupling mechanisms. The electromagnetic properties of resonators and magnetic samples are crucial for a comprehensive understanding of the coupling between these systems.

Magnetic field driven dynamics in twisted bilayer artificial spin ice at superlattice angles

Rehana Begum Popy, Julia Frank, Robert L. Stamps

Summary: In this study, the possible magnetic behaviors of bilayer artificial spin ice are examined using numerical simulations. The impact of long-range dipolar coupling on magnetization dynamics is investigated by varying the layer separation and rotation. Unusual magnetic ordering is predicted for certain angles that define lateral spin superlattices in the bilayer systems.

Cavity magnonics for large and small amplitude precession

J. Iyaro, R. L. Stamps

Summary: This paper examines excitations that may appear in cavity magnonics experiments using numerical micromagnetics and a recently developed semi-classical cavity magnonics theory. The theory, which is applicable to linear and nonlinear dynamic systems, is demonstrated through example applications for magnetic systems described by numerical micromagnetics. The effects of large amplitude driving and elliptically polarized driving fields are also studied. The main conclusion is that the theory, when combined with micromagnetics, offers a useful technique for describing cavity photon-magnon coupling for a wide range of linear and nonlinear magnetic dynamics.

Igor Proskurin, Jephthah O. Iyaro, Robert L. Stamps

Collective dynamics of domain walls: An antiferromagnetic spin texture in an optical cavity

Jephthah O. Iyaro, Igor Proskurin, Robert L. Stamps

Summary: The presence of DMI in antiferromagnetic optomagnonic systems enables spin interactions with cavity photons and modulates frequencies. This work provides a new approach to measure the DMI constant in optomagnonic experiments by comparing resonances obtained with different polarizations of the exciting field.

Level attraction and exceptional points in a resonant spin-orbit torque system

Igor Proskurin, Robert L. Stamps

Summary: The phenomenon of level attraction, where two modes coalesce in a region separated by exceptional points, is observed in certain systems. This behavior may apply to various systems such as optomechanical and optomagnonic systems.
