Self-generation of chaotic solitary spin wave pulses in magnetic film active feedback rings

The chaotic self-generation of short solitary spin wave pulses has been observed for the first time. The pulses were produced from parametrically excited spin waves in an yttrium-iron-garnet film in an active feedback ring under conditions where both three-wave and four-wave parametric processes were allowed. The power-frequency spectrum was broadband and chaotic.     

Generation of dark and bright spin wave envelope soliton trains through self-modulational instability in magnetic films

The generation of dark spin wave envelope soliton trains from a continuous wave input signal due to spontaneous modulational instability has been observed for the first time. The dark soliton trains were formed from high dispersion dipole-exchange spin waves propagated in a thin yttrium iron garnet film with pinned surface spins at frequencies situated near the dipole gaps in the dipole-exchange spin wave spectrum. Dark and bright soliton trains were generated for one and the same film through placement of the input carrier frequency in regions of negative and positive dispersion, respectively. Two unreported effects in soliton dynamics, hysteresis and period doubling, were also observed.     

Domain-wall induced phase shifts in spin waves

We study the interaction between two important features of ferromagnetic nanoparticles: magnetic domain walls and spin waves. Micromagnetic simulations reveal that magnetostatic spin waves change their phase as they pass through domain walls. Similar to an Aharonov-Bohm experiment, we suggest to probe this effect by splitting the waves on different branches of a ring. The interference of merging waves depends on the domain walls in the branches. A controlled manipulation of spin-wave phases could be the first step towards nanoscaled ferromagnetic devices performing logical operations based on spin-wave propagation.     

Observation of the chaotic spin-wave soliton trains in magnetic films

The transition from stationary to chaotic spin-wave soliton trains has been observed. The experiment utilized cw excitation of envelope solitons through self-modulation instability of spin waves. By increasing the spin-wave power, the secondary self-modulation instability succeeded the primary modulation instability, resulting in after-modulation of the soliton train amplitude. Further increase of the spin-wave power led to development of the higher-order instabilities, resulting in formation of the chaotic soliton train.     

Spin-wave interference in microscopic rings

We have studied the spin excitations of ferromagnetic rings and observed a distinct series of quantized modes in the vortex state. We attribute them to spin waves that circulate around the ring and interfere constructively. They form azimuthal eigenmodes of a magnetic ring resonator which we resolve up to the fourth order. The eigenfrequencies are calculated semianalytically and classified as a function of magnetic field by a quantization rule which takes into account a periodic boundary condition. Strikingly each mode exists only below a characteristic field.

Hydrodynamics of spin-polarized transport and spin pendulum

The dynamics of a nonequilibrium spin system dominated by collisions preserving the total quasimomentum of the interacting electrons and quasiparticles is considered. An analysis of the derived hydrodynamic equations shows that weakly attenuated spin-polarization waves associated with an oscillating drift current can exist in a magnetically inhomogeneous conducting ring. Spin-polarized transport in a ballistic regime of wave propagation through a conductor is also considered, and a simple method is proposed for distinguishing these waves from spin and current oscillations that develop in the hydrodynamic regime. It is shown that a potential difference arises between the leads of an open nonuniformly spin-polarized conductor as a manifestation of spin polarization of electron density. This spin-mediated electrical phenomenon occurs in both hydrodynamic and diffusive limits.     

Angle-dependent spin wave spectra of permalloy ring arrays

We investigated the angle-dependent spin wave spectra of permalloy ring arrays with the fixed outer diameter and various inner diameters by ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy and micromagnetic simulation. When the field is obliquely applied to the ring, local resonance mode can be observed in different parts of the rings. And the resonance mode will change to perpendicular spin standing waves if the magnetic field is applied along the perpendicular direction. The simulation results demonstrated this evolution and implied more resonance modes that maybe exist. And the mathematical fitting results based on the Kittel equation further proved the existence of local resonance mode.     

Self-generation of two-dimensional spin-wave bullets

The experimental observation of self-generation of two-dimensional, self-focusing nonlinear spin wave packets-spin wave bullets-in an active ring is reported. The ring is composed of a ferrite film with two antennae for excitation and detection of the wave packets, and a microwave amplifier connecting the antennae and closing the ring. Experimental observation has been made by using the time and space resolved Brillouin light scattering technique. The parameters of spin wave bullets self-generated from noise in an active ring are similar to those of bullets coherently excited by external microwave pulses. The observed self-generation process provides unambiguous evidence that wave bullets are intrinsic excitations of a two-dimensional nonlinear medium with dissipation that is focusing in both directions.     

Specific features of magnetoacoustic waves in Fe<Subscript>3</Subscript>BO<Subscript>6</Subscript>

The specific features of magnetoacoustic waves propagating in an orthorhombic antiferromagnet with weak ferromagnetism, namely, the Fe₃BO₆ orthoborate, are investigated experimentally in the vicinity of the spontaneous, first-order orientational phase transition. It is revealed that, at the phase transition point, the amplitude of active acoustic waves interacting with spin waves increases significantly. A phenomenological theory of magnetoelastic waves in orthoferrites is proposed. This theory allows for an intermediate domain structure existing in the range of a first-order orientational phase transition and offers a satisfactory explanation of the experimentally observed anomaly in the amplitude of active acoustic waves.     

Gradient Chiral Metamirrors for Spin‐Selective Anomalous Reflection

Metasurfaces, the phase‐engineered quasi‐2D interfaces, have attracted intensive interest due to their great capabilities in manipulating the reflection, refraction and transmission of electromagnetic waves. Here, we demonstrate the design and realization of a gradient chiral metamirror tailored for spin‐selective anomalous reflection based on the theory of Pancharatnam‐Berry phase. Asymmetric split ring resonators are employed as the basic meta‐atoms for strong circular dichroism. Dispersionless phase discontinuities are achieved by adjusting the orientation of the meta‐atoms, and spin‐dependent absorption is realized by introducing a chiral resonance. Theoretical results predict both broadband beam deflection and spin‐selective absorption for circularly polarized waves in a designer metamirror. Experimental verification of this bifunctional performance is implemented at microwave frequencies and the measured results agree well with the simulation ones. Such chiral metamirrors could pave an avenue towards spin‐selective modulation of the wavefront and might find promising applications in planar electromagnetic devices.     

Control of Spiral Waves and Spatiotemporal Chaos by Exciting Travel Wave Trains

Spiral waves and spatiotemporal chaos usually are harmful and need to be suppressed. In this paper, a method is proposed to control them. Travel wave trains can be generated by periodic excitations near left boundary, spiral waves and spatiotemporal chaos can be eliminated by the trains for some certain excitation periods. Obvious resonant behavior can be observed from the relation between the periods of the trains and excitation ones. The method is against noise.

Nonreciprocity of losses and shift of the zero point in a laser gyroscope

Results of calculations of intensities, losses, and frequencies of counterpropagating waves in a ring resonator containing a weakly nonlinear active medium and an aperture are given. It is shown that inequalities of frequencies and intensities of generation of counterpropagating waves occur in such a resonator. The behavior of these inequalities is determined by the nonreciprocity of frequency-dependent losses of the counterpropagating waves.

Wideband chaotic oscillation in a self-oscillatory system with a nonlinear transmission line on magnetostatic waves

Wideband chaotic microwave oscillation in a ring self-oscillatory system is studied. The system includes a solid-state power amplifier and a wideband nonlinear transmission line with a ferromagnetic film in which magnetostatic waves of different types are excited. It is found that the eigenmodes of the self-oscillatory system excited in the passband of the transmission line on magnetostatic waves become noisy because of spin wave parametric excitation due to the magnetostatic wave and nonlinearity of the power amplifier. A continuous spectrum of modes observed in the wideband chaotic signal is associated with the presence of a descending portion in the dynamic characteristic of the nonlinear transmission line, which arises when a magnetostatic surface wave is excited.     

Experimental observation of Fermi-Pasta-Ulam recurrence in a nonlinear feedback ring system

Fermi-Pasta-Ulam recurrence through soliton dynamics has been realized. The experiment used a magnetic film strip-based active feedback ring. At some ring gain level, a wide spin wave pulse is self-generated in the ring. As the pulse circulates, it separates into two envelop solitons with different speeds. When the fast soliton catches up and collides with the slow soliton, the initial wide pulse is perfectly reconstructed. The repetition of this process leads to periodic recurrences of the initial pulse.     

Spin waves and electronic interactions in La2CuO4

The magnetic excitations of the square-lattice spin-1/2 antiferromagnet and high- T(c) parent compound La2CuO4 are determined using high-resolution inelastic neutron scattering. Sharp spin waves with absolute intensities in agreement with theory including quantum corrections are found throughout the Brillouin zone. The observed dispersion relation shows evidence for substantial interactions beyond the nearest-neighbor Heisenberg term which can be understood in terms of a cyclic or ring exchange due to the strong hybridization path around the Cu4O4 square plaquettes.
