Temperature-tunable spin-wave refraction using superconducting control elements
Pim H. Vree, Merel A. Bouma, Michael Borst +3
Spin waves are promising signal carriers for microwave control at the micrometer scale. However, realizing low-damping, tunable control of spin-wave propagation remains a central c…
Theory of spin-wave transport in ferromagnet-superconductor heterostructures: Negative refraction, perfect imaging and temperature-controlled spin-wave optics
Tomas T. Osterholt, Thijs van der Meer, Pim H. Vree +4
We investigate spin-wave transport in ferromagnetic insulator-superconductor (FMI-SC) heterostructures and develop a general theoretical framework for spin-wave optics in these hyb…
Inherent electro-optic Kerr rotation
Erlend Syljuåsen, Alireza Qaiumzadeh, Rembert A. Duine +1
We uncover a previously overlooked contribution to the electro-optic Kerr rotation of reflected light, arising from the interplay of matter, the static electric field, and the magn…
Magnetic moment of electrons in systems with spin-orbit coupling
I. A. Ado, M. Titov, Rembert A. Duine +1
Magnetic effects originating from spin-orbit coupling (SOC) have been attracting major attention. However, SOC contributions to the electron magnetic moment operator are convention…
Enhanced spin-current generation in Dirac altermagnets through Klein tunneling
Tomas T. Osterholt, Lumen Eek, Cristiane Morais Smith +1
Altermagnets have recently emerged as a new platform for spintronics applications, offering spin-split electronic bands despite vanishing net magnetization. Here, we investigate sp…
Spin Inertia as a Driver of Chaotic and High-Speed Ferromagnetic Domain Walls
A. L. Bassant, Y. M. J. Ohlsen, M. Cherkasskii +2
Ferromagnetic domain walls -transitional regions between magnetic domains- are an essential ingredient for racetrack memory, a device concept that promises to deliver faster and mo…
