Numerical Simulation of the Coupling between Split-Ring Resonators and Antiferromagnetic Magnons

Abstract

We report on the results of simulations of the terahertz response of a split ring resonator (SRR) metamaterial coupled to a hypothetical antiferromagnetic material characterized by a magnon resonance. The simulations were done using finite difference time domain (FDTD) techniques. By adjusting the magnon frequency we find a hybridization of the resonant normal modes of the SRR and the magnon manifested as an avoided crossing. By varying the physical separation between the metamaterial and the antiferromagnet with a dielectric spacer, we evaluated the coupling strength between the two.
