The calculations of the inelastic spin wave scattering by flexure vibrations of the Bloch domain wall (Winters magnons) in thin magnetic films are presented. The approach is based on the interaction of the propagating spin waves with the dynamical emergent electromagnetic field generated by the moving inhomogeneous magnetization texture (domain wall). The probability of the spin wave scattering for the Winters magnon emission and absorption processes essentially rises with the spin wave scattering angle increase up to 900. The angular dependence of the scattering probability is essentially stronger for the magnon absorption processes that allow distinguishing these elementary emission/absorption processes experimentally.

We study the depinning of domain walls by pure diffusive spin currents in a nonlocal spin valve structure based on two ferromagnetic permalloy elements with copper as the nonmagnetic spin conduit. The injected spin current is absorbed by the second permalloy structure with a domain wall and from the dependence of the wall depinning field on the spin current density we find an efficiency of 6*10^{-14}T/(A/m^2), which is more than an order of magnitude larger than for conventional current induced domain wall motion. Theoretically we reproduce this high efficiency, which arises from the surface torques exerted by the absorbed spin current that lead to efficient depinning.
In easy-plane ferromagnets, all magnetic dynamics are restricted in a specific plane, and the domain wall becomes massive instead of gyroscopic. Here we show that the interaction between domain wall and spin wave packet in easy-plane ferromagnets takes analogy to two massive particles colliding via attraction. Due to mutual attraction, the penetration of spin wave packet leads to backward displacement of the domain wall, and further the penetration of continuous spin wave leads to constant velocity of domain wall. The underlying temporary exchange of momentum, instead of permanent transfer of linear and angular momenta, provides a new paradigm in magnonically driving domain wall.
Polarization, denoting the precession direction with respect to the background magnetization, is an intrinsic degree of freedom of spin wave. Using magnetic textures to control the spin wave polarization is fundamental and indispensable toward reprogrammable polarization-based magnonics. Here, we show that due to the intrinsic cubic anisotropy, a $90^circ$ antiferromagnetic domain wall naturally acts as a spin wave retarder (wave-plate). Moreover, for a $90^circ$ domain wall pair developed by introducing a second domain in a homogenous antiferromagnetic wire, the sign of retarding effect can be flipped by simply switching the direction of the intermediate domain. The intimate connection between rich states of magnetic domains and the spin wave polarization in cubic anisotropic systems, offers new possibilities in constructing purely magnetic logic devices.
When charged particles in periodic lattices are subjected to a constant electric field, they respond by oscillating. Here we demonstrate that the magnetic analogue of these Bloch oscillations are realised in a one-dimensional ferromagnetic easy axis chain. In this case, the particle undergoing oscillatory motion in the presence of a magnetic field is a domain wall. Inelastic neutron scattering reveals three distinct components of the low energy spin-dynamics including a signature Bloch oscillation mode. Using parameter-free theoretical calculations, we are able to account for all features in the excitation spectrum, thus providing detailed insights into the complex dynamics in spin-anisotropic chains.
In the last decade, two revolutionary concepts in nano magnetism emerged from research for storage technologies and advanced information processing. The first suggests the use of magnetic domain walls (DWs) in ferromagnetic nanowires to permanently store information in DW racetrack memories. The second proposes a hardware realisation of neuromorphic computing in nanomagnets using nonlinear magnetic oscillations in the GHz range. Both ideas originate from the transfer of angular momentum from conduction electrons to localised spins in ferromagnets, either to push data encoded in DWs along nanowires or to sustain magnetic oscillations in artificial neurones. Even though both concepts share a common ground, they live on very different time scales which rendered them incompatible so far. Here, we bridge both ideas by demonstrating the excitation of magnetic auto-oscillations inside nano-scale DWs using pure spin currents.
