Easy-Plane Magnetic Strip as a Long Josephson Junction
arXiv:1802.04229 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.121.037202
Abstract
Spin-torque-biased magnetic dynamics in an easy-plane ferromagnet (EPF) is theoretically studied in the presence of a weak in-plane anisotropy. While this anisotropy spoils U(1) symmetry thereby quenching the conventional spin superfluidity, we show that the system instead realizes a close analog of a long Josephson junction (LJJ) model. The traditional magnetic-field and electric-current controls of the latter map respectively onto the symmetric and antisymmetric combinations of the out-of-plane spin torques applied at the ends of the magnetic strip. This suggests an alternative route towards realizations of superfluid-like transport phenomena in insulating magnetic systems. We study spin-torque-biased phase diagram, providing an analytical solution for static multidomain phases in the EPF. We adapt an existing self-consistency method for the LJJ to develop an approximate solution for the EPF dynamics. The LJJ-EPF mapping allows us to envision superconducting circuit functionality at elevated temperatures. The results apply equally to antiferromagnets with suitable effective free energy in terms of the Néel order instead of magnetization.
