反铁磁自旋波在高速和低能耗信息处理方面具有很大潜力。然而，在反铁磁体系中激发和检测太赫兹自旋波是具有挑战性的。在本工作中，我们验证了低频拉曼光谱可作为探测反铁磁体系中自旋波的有力工具。我们通过拉曼光谱系统研究了典型的单轴反铁磁体Cr₂O₃中的反铁磁自旋波，我们的测量范围低至2.3 cm^-1(69 GHz)。我们分析了自旋波的塞曼劈裂和自旋翻转相变。我们进一步通过偏振拉曼的方式确定了自旋波能支的角动量符号。我们还得到了Cr₂O₃的各向异性能，g因子和自旋翻转场随温度和磁场变化的函数关系。自旋波重整化理论解释了所有实验观测结果。     

铁磁体中缺陷对自旋波的影响

本文提出了一个处理磁性杂质或其他缺陷在磁性晶体中对自旋波频谱的影响的一般理论方法,并特别着重讨论了局域模自旋波。以一维线性格子为例进行计算的结果显示出:一个代位磁性杂质,可能产生不只一个高于连续带顶的局域模。其产生的条件和其能级位置均通过J′S′/JS和J′/J表达出来,这里S′和S各为杂质原子和基质原子的自旋量子数,J′和J各为杂质与近邻之间和一般近邻之间的交换作用系数。高度集中的应变和间隙原子如致使邻近处的交换作用增大,也导致局域模的出现。我们也考虑了磁偶极矩相互作用的影响,证明其并不破坏这些局域模的     

自旋波-声子耦合对反铁磁体红外吸收谱的影响

由于交换作用常数受到磁离子间距离变化的影响是不可忽略的,在磁有序物质中存在自旋波和声子的耦合作用。本文探讨了非金属反铁磁体中自旋波-声子耦合在红外吸收谱上可能有的表现,辐射场的电偶极矩作用在激发一个光频支声子的同时,通过自旋波-声子耦合又激发两个自旋波和一个声子,这就在晶格吸收谱的高频边缘以外形成附加吸收带。当反铁磁体的Néel点足够高,并且自施波态密度有尖锐的极大值时,附加吸收带就有超出晶格吸收边缘足够大的能量,且有明显的峯形,上述吸收峯就应在实验上观测到。把这一结果应用于NiO,解释了它的红外光谱中0.24电子伏的附加吸收峯,计算得到与实验相符合的吸收能量和吸收强度,并指出这一吸收机构只能在反铁磁体中而不能在铁磁体中发生。本文最后指出,Mizuno和Koide在企图解释同一现象的工作中,所探讨者相对于本文所考虑的跃迁机构,它只可能产生极其次要的贡献。     

椭圆纳米盘中磁涡旋结构的方位角自旋波模式

本文针对坡莫合金椭圆形盘中的磁涡旋结构, 采用微磁学模拟与傅里叶分析相结合的技术研究了磁涡旋自旋波的本征激发模式. 通过沿样品短轴方向施加一面内方向的脉冲磁场, 观察到一系列方位角自旋波模式. 观察到的自旋波模式具有两重对称性, 可以通过C₂群理论来进行类型的划分. 此外, 自旋波模式的频率随着方位角指标的变化而线性增加. 模拟结果显示样品的平均交换能量密度明显的高于平均静磁能量密度; 局域交换能量密度主要集中在涡核初始位置, 而局域静磁能量密度主要分布在长轴附近. 交换作用对受限于铁磁薄膜椭圆盘中的单个涡旋态的能量要起主导作用, 从而导致方位角自旋波模式频率随着方位角指标的增加而增加.

弯曲应变下六角晶格量子反铁磁体的赝朗道能级

利用线性自旋波理论和量子蒙特卡罗方法研究了弯曲应变下六角晶格量子反铁磁体的赝朗道能级.通过线性自旋波理论,发现磁赝朗道能级出现在磁子能谱的高能端,其能级间距与能级指数的平方根成正比.线性自旋波理论和量子蒙特卡罗方法都显示,尺寸相同时随着应变强度的逐渐增加,局域磁化强度逐渐减弱,应变强度相同的条件下反铁磁序在y方向上连续减弱,因为上边界处的海森伯链解耦为孤立的垂直链,导致上边界附近的磁序被破坏.量子蒙特卡罗方法提供了更精确的反铁磁序演化:在特定应变强度下上边界处垂直关联不变,水平关联增加,从而影响磁化强度,使局域磁化在上边界处呈上翘趋势.研究结果有助于理解弯曲应变对自旋激发的影响,并可能在二维量子磁性材料实验中得以实现.

Calculations of localized modes on surface and impurity layer embedded in a semi-infinite Heisenberg ferromagnet

We investigate the magnetic excitations for the magnetic problem arising from the absence of magnetic translation symmetry in one dimension due to the presence of an impurity layer embedded within a semi-infinite ferromagnet. A Heisenberg model is employed to investigate the possibility that localized modes can occur with an impurity layer implanted within a semi-infinite ferromagnet. No electronic effects are considered. The theoretical approach employs the matching procedure in the mean field approximation and determines the propagating and evanescent spin amplitude fields including the contribution due to an applied field. The results are used to calculate the energies of localized modes associated with the impurity layer and with the surface. Numerical examples of the modes are given and they are found to exhibit various effects due to the interplay between the impurity layer and surface modes. It is shown that more localized modes can occur and the modification of the spin wave spectra can be signaled by the appearance of surface and impurity modes, besides the bulk excitations. Also, the bulk spin fluctuations field, the spin waves localized on the surface as well as on impurity layer depend are shown to depend on the nature of the exchange coupling between spin sites, the values of spin sites and the position of the impurity layer from the surface.     

Spin modes and layer magnetization for surface and impurity layer embedded in a ferromagnet

A theoretical study is made for the role of an impurity layer embedded within a semi-infinite ferromagnet in determining the spectra of (0 0 1) surface spin waves and the layer magnetization for the surface and impurity layer. The calculations are described using simultaneously a closed form of the spin-wave Green's function and the matching procedure in the random-phase approximation. Analytic expressions for the Green's functions are also derived in a low-temperature spin-wave approximation. The theoretical approach determines the bulk and evanescent spin fluctuation fields in the two-dimensional plane normal to the surface. The results are used to calculate the energies of localized modes associated with the impurity layer as well as with the surface. Numerical examples of the modes are given and they are found to exhibit various effects due to the interplay between the impurity layer and surface modes. The results derived from the dynamic correlation functions between a pair of spin operators at any two sites are employed to evaluate the spin deviation in the ferromagnet due to the localized modes associated with the surface and with the impurity layer obtained by means of the matching procedure. The correlation functions and the layer magnetization are then illustrated as function of the impurity layer distance from the surface for a given temperature.     

Bulk and surface localized modes on a magnetic nonlinear impurity

We study localized modes on a single magnetic impurity positioned in the bulk or at the surface of a one-dimensional chain, in the presence of a magnetic field B acting at the impurity site. The strong on-site nonlinear interaction U between two electrons of opposite spin at the impurity site, modelled here as a nonlinear local term, and the presence of the external field induce a strong correlation between parallel and antiparallel spin bound states. We find that, for an impurity in the bulk, a localized vector mode (with up and down spin components) is always possible for any given value of U and B, while for a surface impurity, a minimum value of both, U and B is needed to create a vector mode. In this case, up to two localized modes are possible, but only one of them is stable. The presence of the surface seems to destabilize the bulk mode in the parameter region U∼B, creating a “forbidden strip” region in parameter space, bounded by U=B+V and U=B−V, approximately.     

An oscillator using high order Lamb wave modes

An oscillator using high order Lamb wave modes is presented. Due to the multimode property of Lamb waves, high frequency oscillators using high order mode Lamb waves can be fabricated. To select the operating mode of the Lamb wave oscillator, a high order mode selector is inserted into the feedback loop. An oscillator using the 13th antisymmetric mode (a₁₃) in Lamb wave is achieved in experiments and the oscillating frequency is 5.30 times higher than that of the a₀ mode excited by the interdigital transducer.

Nonlinear nanoscale localization of magnetic excitations in atomic lattices

Reviewed here is the nonlinear intrinsic localization expected for large amplitude spin waves in a variety of magnetically ordered lattices. Both static and dynamic properties of intrinsic localized spin wave gap modes and resonant modes are surveyed in detail. The modulational instability of extended nonlinear spin waves is discussed as a mechanism for dynamical localization of spin waves in homogeneous magnetic lattices. The interest in this particular nonlinear dynamics area stems from the realization that some localized vibrations in perfectly periodic but nonintegrable lattices can be stabilized by lattice discreteness. However, in this rapidly growing area in nonlinear condensed matter research the experimental identification of intrinsic localized modes is yet to be demonstrated. To this end the study of spin lattice models has definite advantages over those previously presented for vibrational models both because of the importance of intrasite and intersite nonlinear interaction terms and because the dissipation of spin waves in magnetic materials is weak compared to that of lattice vibrations in crystals. Thus, both from the theoretical and the experimental points of view, nonlinear magnetic systems may provide more tractable candidates for the investigation of intrinsic localized modes which display nanoscale dimensions as well as for the future exploration of the quantum properties of such excitations.     

Relative anisotropies of plane waves and guided modes in thin orthorhombic plates: Implication for texture characterization

The angular dependences of the long wavelength velocities of S₀ and SH₀ modes of orthorhombic (orthotropic) plates are compared to those of the velocities of corresponding plane waves. To first order in the anisotropy, many of the phenomena are as expected. The absolute velocities and anisotropy of the SH₀ plate modes are identical to those for plane SH waves and the absolute velocities of the S₀ modes propagating along symmetry axes are reduced from the longitudinal plane wave velocities by an amount explained by the change from the plane strain to the plane stress condition. However, for certain classes of materials such as metal polycrystals, the anisotropy of the S₀ mode can be substantially different from that of the longitudinal plane waves. This effect is explained through an expansion of the crystallite orientation distribution function in terms of generalized spherical harmonics. Implications of the results for the ultrasonic measurement of preferred grain orientation (texture) in polycrystals is indicated.     

Magnetoelastic waves in an in-plane magnetized ferromagnetic plate

The spectrum of magnetoelastic waves propagating along the magnetic field in an in-plane magnetized ferromagnetic plate is numerically investigated in the exchangeless approximation. No restrictions are imposed either on the field pattern of backward volume magnetostatic waves (BVMSWs) or elastic waves supported by a plate of a given geometry across the plate or on the relationship between the sound velocity v _S and the phase velocity of the magnetoelastic waves v=ω/q (ω is the frequency, q is the wave number). The resonance interaction of the BVMSWs and elastic waves is accompanied, as a rule, by the formation of “stop” bands δω that are proportional to the magnetoelastic coupling constant b. When the BVMSWs are in resonance with Lamb and shear elastic modes the values of the magnetoelastic gaps δω at v≈v _S turn out to be of the same order. For v≫v _S , the efficiency of the interaction between the BVMSWs and transverse Lamb modes is almost one order of magnitude higher. If the frequency spacing Δω between the elastic modes is smaller than the mag-netoelastic gap in the spectrum (Δω≤δω), which takes place, particularly, in the region of crowding the elastic mode spectrum (v≈v _S), the resonant interaction results in mixing the dispersion laws for the elastic modes. Namely, a surface mode may transform into a volume one and a shear mode, into the Lamb mode or into a shear mode with another number. The resonance interaction of the shear and Lamb elastic modes not only forms the magnetoelastic gaps δω∼b ² but also changes the efficiency of elastic wave coupling with the magnetic subsystem. This may show up as the coexistence of the effects of “repulsing” both the dispersion laws and the damping decrements of the elastic waves at the resonance frequency. It is shown that magnetostriction splits the cutoff frequencies of both transverse Lamb modes and shear modes, as well as the long-wave (q → 0) frequency limits f ₀ of the BVMSW modes. This may cause the resonance interaction between BVMSW modes of equal evenness in a narrow frequency band Δ∼b near f ₀.     

Brillouin-zone mapping of the spin waves in a ferromagnetic bilayer system

The eigenproblems of spin waves in a heterogeneous ferromagnetic bilayer system with periodic boundary conditions are solved using the interface-rescaling approach. Brillouin zone mapping and the eigenmodes of the system are investigated. We find three types of spin waves may exist in the system: the bulk mode, the interface mode, and the perfect confined mode. The fine structure of the energy band in the heterogeneous bilayer system is first given for the whole two-dimensional Brillouin zone. Conditions for the existence of the interface mode are discussed. Finally, we analyze the resonant-confined spin waves in bulk modes and their oscillating behavior.
