Micron scale ferromagnetic tubes placed on the ends of ferromagnetic CoTaZr spin waveguides are explored in order to enhance the excitation of Backward Volume Magnetostatic Spin Waves. The tubes produce a closed magnetic circuit about the signal line of the coplanar waveguide and are, at the same time, magnetically contiguous with the spin waveguide. This results in a 10 fold increase in spin wave amplitude. However, the tube geometry distorts the magnetic field near the spin waveguide and relatively high biasing magnetic fields are required to establish well defined spin waves. Only the lowest (uniform) spin wave mode is excited.

Magnetic excitation in a spin dimer system on a bilayer honeycomb lattice is investigated in the presence of a zigzag edge, where disordered and ordered phases can be controlled by a quantum phase transition. In analogy with the case of graphene with a zigzag edge, a flat edge magnon mode appears in the disordered phase. In an ordered phase, a finite magnetic moment generates a mean-field potential to the magnon. Since the potential is nonuniform on the edge and bulk sites, it affects the excitation, and the dispersion of the edge mode deviates from the flat shape. We investigate how the edge magnon mode evolves when the phase changes through the quantum phase transition and discuss the similarities to ordered spin systems on a monolayer honeycomb lattice.
Spin wave scattering in the right angle ferromagnetic cross was measured. Shape anisotropy defined magnetization ground states at zero biasing magnetic fields. Scattering of the spin waves in the center of ferromagnetic cross is strongly dependent on the amplitude and angle of the biasing magnetic field. Micromagnetic simulations indicate that low in-plane biasing magnetic fields rotate the magnetization of the cross center while the arms stay axially magnetized due to the shape anisotropy. We discuss effect of biasing magnetic fields on the spin wave scattering and approaches to an effective spin wave switch based on the fabricated structure.
A ferromagnetic insulator (FI) attached to a conventional superconductor (S) changes drastically the properties of the latter. Specifically, the exchange field at the FI/S interface leads to a splitting of the superconducting density of states. If S is a superconducting film, thinner than the superconducting coherence length, the modification of the density of states occurs over the whole sample. The co-existence of the exchange splitting and superconducting correlations in S/FI structures leads to striking transport phenomena that are of interest for applications in thermoelectricity, superconducting spintronics and radiation sensors. Here we review the most recent progress in understanding the transport properties of FI/S structures by presenting a complete theoretical framework based on the quasiclassical kinetic equations. We discuss the coupling between the electronic degrees of freedom, charge, spin and energy, under non-equilibrium conditions and its manifestation in thermoelectricity and spin-dependent transport.
The Pair Approximation method has been formulated for the isotropic ferromagnetic Heisenberg model with spin $S=1$. The exchange interactions of arbitrary range have been taken into account. The single-ion anisotropy has been considered as well as the external magnetic field. Within the method, the Gibbs free-energy has been derived, from which all thermodynamic properties can be self-consistently obtained. In order to illustrate the developed formalism, the numerical calculations have been performed for CrIAs planar magnetic semiconductor, a hypothetical material whose existence has been recently predicted by the Density Functional Theory-based calculations. For this model material, all the relevant thermodynamic magnetic properties have been studied. The numerical results have been presented in the figures and discussed.
Cooperation is vital for the survival of a swarm$^1$. Large scale cooperation allows murmuring starlings to outmaneuver preying falcons$^2$, shoaling sardines to outsmart sea lions$^3$, and homo sapiens to outlive their Pleistocene peers$^4$. On the micron-scale, bacterial colonies show excellent resilience thanks to the individuals ability to cooperate even when densely packed, mitigating their internal flow pattern to mix nutrients, fence the immune system, and resist antibiotics$^{5-14}$. Production of an artificial swarm on the micro-scale faces a serious challenge $frac{;;}{;;}$ while an individual bacterium has an evolutionary-forged internal machinery to produce propulsion, until now, artificial micro-swimmers relied on the precise chemical composition of their environment to directly fuel their drive$^{14-23}$. When crowded, artificial micro-swimmers compete locally for a finite fuel supply, quenching each others activity at their greatest propensity for cooperation. Here we introduce an artificial micro-swimmer that consumes no chemical fuel and is driven solely by light. We couple a light absorbing particle to a fluid droplet, forming a colloidal chimera that transforms light energy into propulsive thermo-capillary action. The swimmers internal drive allows them to operate and remain active for a long duration (days) and their effective repulsive interaction allows for a high density fluid phase. We find that above a critical concentration, swimmers form a long lived crowded state that displays internal dynamics. When passive particles are introduced, the dense swimmer phase can re-arrange and spontaneously corral the passive particles. We derive a geometrical, depletion-like condition for corralling by identifying the role the passive particles play in controlling the effective concentration of the micro-swimmers.
