Anisotropic wavevector-dependent damping of thickness-quantized magnons

Tamara Azevedo, Rostyslav O. Serha, Yannik Kunz +7

Magnon damping is a key factor governing spin-wave transport and nonlinear dynamics of multimode magnon systems. However, many descriptions rely on the assumption of an effective m…

Nonlinear frequency shift and bistability of magnon-polarons

Kevin Künstle, Matthias Wagner, Philipp Knaus +7

We investigate the nonlinear dynamics of strongly coupled surface acoustic waves (SAWs) and spin waves (SWs) in a magnetoacoustic resonator based on a YIG/ZnO heterostructure by co…

Phase-resolved imaging of coherent phonon-magnon coupling

Yannik Kunz, Florian Kraft, David Breitbach +5

We use a direct phase-resolved optical technique to study the coherence of spin waves (SWs) that are driven by surface acoustic waves (SAWs) via resonant magnetoelastic coupling. F…

Magnon-polaron control in a surface magnetoacoustic wave resonator

Kevin Künstle, Yannik Kunz, Tarek Moussa +6

Strong coupling between distinct quasiparticles in condensed matter systems gives rise to hybrid states with emergent properties. We demonstrate the hybridization of confined phono…

Efficient spin-wave excitation by surface acoustic waves in ultra-low damping YIG/ZnO-heterostructures

Yannik Kunz, Julian Schüler, Finlay Ryburn +7

We demonstrate the efficient excitation of spin waves in the ultra-low magnetic damping material yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) by surface acoustic waves (SAWs). To this end, we employ…

Generation of gigahertz frequency surface acoustic waves in YIG/ZnO heterostructures

Finlay Ryburn, Kevin Künstle, Yangzhan Zhang +6

We study surface acoustic waves (SAWs) in yttrium iron garnet (YIG)/zinc oxide (ZnO) heterostructures, comparing the results of a computationally lightweight analytical model with…

Coherent phonon-magnon interactions detected by micro-focused Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy

Yannik Kunz, Matthias Küß, Michael Schneider +4

We investigated the interaction of surface acoustic waves and spin waves with spatial resolution by micro-focused Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy in a CoFeB$_…
