Tunable space-time crystal in room-temperature magnetodielectrics
arXiv:1811.05801 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.100.020406
Abstract
We report the experimental realization of a space-time crystal with tunable periodicity in time and space in the magnon Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC), formed in a room-temperature Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) film by radio-frequency space-homogeneous magnetic field. The magnon BEC is prepared to have a well defined frequency and non-zero wavevector. We demonstrate how the crystalline "density" as well as the time and space textures of the resulting crystal may be tuned by varying the experimental parameters: external static magnetic field, temperature, thickness of the YIG film and power of the radio-frequency field. The proposed space-time crystals provide a new dimension for exploring dynamical phases of matter and can serve as a model nonlinear Floquet system, that brings in touch the rich fields of classical nonlinear waves, magnonics and periodically driven systems.
