From Kinetic Instability to Bose-Einstein Condensation and Magnon Supercurrents
arXiv:1803.11548 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.121.077203
Abstract
Evolution of an overpopulated gas of magnons to a Bose-Einstein condensate and excitation of a magnon supercurrent, propelled by a phase gradient in the condensate wave function, can be observed at room-temperature by means of the Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy in an yttrium iron garnet material. We study these phenomena in a wide range of external magnetic fields in order to understand their properties when externally pumped magnons are transferred towards the condensed state via two distinct channels: A multistage Kolmogorov-Zakharov cascade of the weak-wave turbulence or a one-step kinetic-instability process. Our main result is that opening the kinetic instability channel leads to the formation of a much denser magnon condensate and to a stronger magnon supercurrent compared to the cascade mechanism alone.
