We report on the magnetization dynamics of a square array of mesoscopic discs, fabricated from an iron palladium alloy film. The dynamics properties were explored using ferromagnetic resonance measurements and micromagnetic simulations. The obtained spectra exhibit features resulting from the interactions between the discs, with a clear dependence on both temperature and the direction of the externally applied field. We demonstrate a qualitative agreement between the measured and calculated spectra. Furthermore, we calculated the mode profiles of the standing spin waves excited during a time-dependent magnetic field excitations. The resulting maps confirm that the features appearing in the ferromagnetic resonance absorption spectra originate from the temperature and directional dependent inter-disc interactions.

We demonstrate a large angular dependence of magnetization dynamics in Ni80Fe20 nano-cross arrays of varying sizes. By subtle variation of the azimuthal angle of an in-plane bias magnetic field, the spin configuration and the ensuing spin-wave dynamics, including mode softening, mode splitting, mode crossover and mode merging, can be drastically varied to the extent that a frequency minimum corresponding to mode softening converts to a mode crossover, various mode splitting and mode crossover disappear and additional mode splitting appears. Numerically simulated spin-wave spectra and phase profiles revealed the nature of various spin-wave modes and the origin of above variation of the dynamics with bias-field angle. All of these above observations are further modified with the variation of dimensions of the nano-cross. The numerically calculated magnetostatic field distributions further supports the variation of dynamics with bias-field angle. These results open a new avenue for engineering the nano-cross based magnetic devices such as magnetic storage, spin-wave logic and on-chip data communication devices.
We investigate vortex configuration in antiferromagnetic thin discs. It is shown that the vortex acquires oscillatory dynamics with well-defined amplitude and frequency which may be controlled on demand by an alternating spin polarized current. These findings may be useful for the emerging field of antiferromagnetic topological spintronics, once vortex dynamics may be controlled by purely electric means.
We present a study of photo-excited magnetization dynamics in ferromagnetic (Ga,Mn)As films observed by time-resolved magneto-optical measurements. The magnetization precession triggered by linearly polarized optical pulses in the absence of an external field shows a strong dependence on photon frequency when the photo-excitation energy approaches the band-edge of (Ga,Mn)As. This can be understood in terms of magnetic anisotropy modulation by both laser heating of the sample and by hole-induced non-thermal paths. Our findings provide a means for identifying the transition of laser-triggered magnetization dynamics from thermal to non-thermal mechanisms, a result that is of importance for ultrafast optical spin manipulation in ferromagnetic materials via non-thermal paths.
We demonstrate spin pumping, i.e. the generation of a pure spin current by precessing magnetization, without application of microwave radiation commonly used in spin pumping experiments. We use femtosecond laser pulses to simultaneously launch the magnetization precession in each of two ferromagnetic layers of a Galfenol-based spin valve and monitor the temporal evolution of the magnetizations. The spin currents generated by the precession cause a dynamic coupling of the two layers. This coupling has dissipative character and is especially efficient when the precession frequencies in the two layers are in resonance, where coupled modes with strongly different decay rates are formed.
The switching dynamics of a single-domain BiFeO$_3$ thin films is investigated through combining the dynamics of polarization and Neel vector. The evolution of the ferroelectric polarization is described by the Landau-Khalatnikov (LK) equation, and the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equations for spins in two sublattices to model the time evolution of the antiferromagnetic order (Neel vector) in a G-type antiferromagnet. This work theoretically demonstrates that due to the rotation of the magnetic hard axis following the polarization reversal, the Neel vector can be switched by 180 degrees, while the weak magnetization can remain unchanged. The simulation results are consistent with the ab initio calculation, where the Neel vector rotates during polarization rotation, and also match our calculation of the dynamics of order parameter using Landau-Ginzburg theory. We also find that the switching time of the Neel vector is determined by the speed polarization switching and is predicted to be as short as 30 ps.
