Accumulation of magnetoelastic bosons in yttrium iron garnet: kinetic theory and wave vector resolved Brillouin light scattering
arXiv:2112.03310 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.105.144421
Abstract
We derive and solve quantum kinetic equations describing the accumulation of magnetoelastic bosons in an overpopulated magnon gas realized in a thin film of the magnetic insulator yttrium iron garnet. We show that in the presence of a magnon condensate, there is a non-equilibrium steady state in which incoherent magnetoelastic bosons accumulate in a narrow region in momentum space for energies slightly below the bottom of the magnon spectrum. The results of our calculations agree quite well with Brillouin light scattering measurements of the stationary non-equilibrium state of magnons and magnetoelastic bosons in yttrium iron garnet.
