In this paper, we investigate theoretically the spin-orbit torque as well as the Gilbert damping for a two band model of a 2D helical surface state with a Ferromagnetic (FM) exchange coupling. We decompose the density matrix into the Fermi sea and Fermi surface components and obtain their contributions to the electronic transport as well as the spin-orbit torque (SOT). Furthermore, we obtain the expression for the Gilbert damping due to the surface state of a 3D Topological Insulator (TI) and predicted its dependence on the direction of the magnetization precession axis.

We describe a method and its implementation for calculating electronic structure and electron transport without approximating the structure using periodic super-cells. This effectively removes spurious periodic images and interference effects. Our method is based on already established methods readily available in the non-equilibrium Green function formalism and allows for non-equilibrium transport. We present examples of a N defect in graphene, finite voltage bias transport in a point-contact to graphene, and a graphene-nanoribbon junction. This method is less costly, in terms of CPU-hours, than the super-cell approximation.
Non-Hermitian skin effect and critical skin effect are unique features of non-Hermitian systems. In this Letter, we study an open system with its dynamics of single-particle correlation function effectively dominated by a non-Hermitian damping matrix, which exhibits $mathbb{Z}_2$ skin effect, and uncover the existence of a novel phenomenon of helical damping. When adding perturbations that break anomalous time reversal symmetry to the system, the critical skin effect occurs, which causes the disappearance of the helical damping in the thermodynamic limit although it can exist in small size systems. We also demonstrate the existence of anomalous critical skin effect when we couple two identical systems with $mathbb{Z}_2$ skin effect. With the help of non-Bloch band theory, we unveil that the change of generalized Brillouin zone equation is the necessary condition of critical skin effect.
We report on a first principles study of anti-ferromagnetic resonance (AFMR) phenomena in metallic systems [MnX (X=Ir,Pt,Pd,Rh) and FeRh] under an external electric field. We demonstrate that the AFMR linewidth can be separated into a relativistic component originating from the angular momentum transfer between the collinear AFM subsystem and the crystal through the spin orbit coupling (SOC), and an exchange component that originates from the spin exchange between the two sublattices. The calculations reveal that the latter component becomes significant in the low temperature regime. Furthermore, we present results for the current-induced intersublattice torque which can be separated into the Field-Like (FL) and Damping-Like (DL) components, affecting the intersublattice exchange coupling and AFMR linewidth, respectively.
Bulk chromium triiodide (CrI$_3$) has long been known as a layered van der Waals ferromagnet. However, its monolayer form was only recently isolated and confirmed to be a truly two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnet, providing a new platform for investigating light-matter interactions and magneto-optical phenomena in the atomically thin limit. Here, we report spontaneous circularly polarized photoluminescence in monolayer CrI$_3$ under linearly polarized excitation, with helicity determined by the monolayer magnetization direction. In contrast, the bilayer CrI$_3$ photoluminescence exhibits vanishing circular polarization, supporting the recently uncovered anomalous antiferromagnetic interlayer coupling in CrI$_3$ bilayers. Distinct from the Wannier-Mott excitons that dominate the optical response in well-known 2D van der Waals semiconductors, our absorption and layer-dependent photoluminescence measurements reveal the importance of ligand-field and charge-transfer transitions to the optoelectronic response of atomically thin CrI$_3$. We attribute the photoluminescence to a parity-forbidden d-d transition characteristic of Cr$^{3+}$ complexes, which displays broad linewidth due to strong vibronic coupling and thickness-independent peak energy due to its localized molecular orbital nature.
We investigated the lifetime of spin wave eigenmodes in periodic and quasiperiodic sequences of Py and Co wires. Those materials differ significantly in damping coefficients, therefore, the spatial distribution of the mode amplitude within the structure is important for the lifetime of collective spin wave excitations. Modes of the lower frequencies prefer to concentrate in Py wires, because of the lower FMR frequency for this material. This inhomogeneous distribution of amplitude of modes (with lower amplitude in material of higher damping and with higher amplitude in material of lower damping) is preferable for extending the lifetime of the collective excitations beyond the volume average of lifetimes for solid materials. We established the relation between the profile of the mode and its lifetime for periodic and quasiperiodic structures. We performed also the comparative studies in order to find the differences resulting from complexity of the structure and enhancement of localization in quasiperiodic system on the lifetime of spin waves.
