Linear and nonlinear magnetization dynamics in permalloy thin films grown on DNA origami and nanopatterned permalloy/YIG hybrid structures

Andrea Mucchietto

Spin waves (SWs) are collective excitations of the spin ensemble in systems with magnetic order. In quantum mechanics, a SW is known as a magnon, which is the quasiparticle describing the quantized nature of these wave-like excitations. Magnonics is the re ...

Unveiling new quantum phases in the Shastry-Sutherland compound SrCu2(BO3)(2) up to the saturation magnetic field

Frédéric Mila

Under magnetic fields, quantum magnets often undergo exotic phase transitions with various kinds of order. The discovery of a sequence of fractional magnetization plateaus in the Shastry-Sutherland compound SrCu2(BO3)(2) has played a central role in the hi ...

Demonstration of a Plasmonic Nonlinear Pseudodiode

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Andrei Kiselev, Sergejs Boroviks

We demonstrate a nonlinear plasmonic metasurface that exhibits strongly asymmetric second-harmonic generation: nonlinear scattering is efficient upon excitation in one direction, and it is substantially suppressed when the excitation direction is reversed, ...

Magnonic crystals with reconfigurable magnetic defects for spin-based microwave electronics

Korbinian Baumgärtl

Collective spin excitations can propagate in magnetically ordered materials in the form of waves. These so-called spin waves (SWs) or magnons are promising for low-power beyond-CMOS information processing, which does not rely anymore on the lossy movement ...

Helimagnons and Skyrmion Dynamics in Cu2OSeO3 and Fe/Gd Multilayers Explored by Brillouin Light Scattering and X-ray Microscopy

Ping Che

Spin dynamics in skyrmion hosting materials provide novel functionality in magnonics because of the formation of a novel magnon band structure and the nanoscale sizes of magnetic skyrmions. In this thesis, we explore the spin dynamics in the chiral magnet ...

Direct observation of multiband transport in magnonic Penrose quasicrystals via broadband and phase-resolved spectroscopy

Dirk Grundler, Sho Watanabe, Mohammad Hamdi, Vinayak Shantaram Bhat, Korbinian Baumgärtl

Quasicrystals are aperiodically ordered structures with unconventional rotational symmetry. Their peculiar features have been explored in photonics to engineer bandgaps for light waves. Magnons (spin waves) are collective spin excitations in magnetically o ...

Order and dynamics in Kagome like compound Cu2OSO4 and other quantum magnets

Virgile Yves Favre

This thesis presents results of studies of novel compounds modeling complex fundamental physics phenomena. Cu2OSO4 is a copper based magnetic Mott Insulator system, where spin half magnetic moments form a new type of lattice. These intrinsically quantum pi ...

Continuous dissipative phase transitions with or without symmetry breaking

Fabrizio Minganti

The paradigm of second-order phase transitions (PTs) induced by spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) in thermal and quantum systems is a pillar of modern physics that has been fruitfully applied to out-of-equilibrium open quantum systems. Dissipative phase ...

Controlling magnetic order, magnetic anisotropy, and band topology in the semimetals Sr(Mn0.9Cu0.1)Sb-2 and Sr(Mn0.9Zn0.1)Sb-2

Yong Liu

Neutron diffraction and magnetic susceptibility studies show that orthorhombic single-crystals of topological semimetals Sr(Mn0.9Cu0.1)Sb-2 and Sr(Mn0.9Zn0.1)Sb-2 undergo three-dimensional C-type antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering of the Mn2+ moments at T-N ...

Efficient wavelength conversion of exchange magnons below 100 nm by magnetic coplanar waveguides

Dirk Grundler, Ping Che, Anna Kúkol'ová

Exchange magnons are essential for unprecedented miniaturization of GHz electronics and magnon-based logic. However, their efficient excitation via microwave fields is still a challenge. Current methods including nanocontacts and grating couplers require a ...

High field magnetization of FePS3

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Diane Virginie Marie Lançon

High field magnetization measurements in pulsed fields up to 65 T have been performed on FePS3, which is nominally a good example of a two-dimensional Ising-like antiferromagnet on a honeycomb lattice. Measurements with the field parallel to the moment dir ...

Quantum spin-liquid states in an organic magnetic layer and molecular rotor hybrid

László Forró, Bálint Náfrádi, Andrea Pisoni, Péter Szirmai, Edoardo Martino, Konstantins Mantulnikovs

The exotic properties of quantum spin liquids (QSLs) have continually been of interest since Anderson's 1973 ground-breaking idea. Geometrical frustration, quantum fluctuations, and low dimensionality are the most often evoked material's characteristics th ...

Spontaneous symmetry breaking in an optomechanical cavity
