Resonant activation of a synthetic antiferromagnet (SAF) is known to result in a dynamic running state, where the SAFs symmetric spin-flop pair continuously rotates between the two antiparallel ground states of the system, with the two magnetic moments in-phase in the so-called acoustical spin-resonance mode. The symmetry of an ideal SAF does not allow, however, to deterministically select a particular ground state using a resonant excitation. In this work, we study asymmetric SAFs, or synthetic ferrimagnets (SFi), in which the two magnetic particles are different in thickness or are biased asymmetrically with an external field. We show how the magnetic phase space of the system can be reversibly tuned, post-fabrication, between the antiferro- and ferri-magnetic behavior by exploiting these two asymmetry parameters and applying a uniform external field. We observe a splitting of the optical spin-resonance for the two ground states of the SFi system, with a frequency spacing that can be controlled by a quasistatic uniform external field. We demonstrate how the tunable magnetic asymmetry in SFi allows to deterministically select a particular ground state using the splitting of the optical spin-resonance. These results offer a new way of controlling the magnetic state of a spin-flop bilayer, currently used in such large scale applications as magnetic memory.
Synthetic ferrimagnets are composite magnetic structures formed from two or more anti- ferromagnetically coupled magnetic sublattices with different magnetic moments. Here we report on atomistic spin simulations of the laser-induced magnetization dyn
Applications of magnetic memory devices greatly benefit from ultra-fast, low-power switching. Here we propose how this can be achieved efficiently in a nano-sized synthetic antiferromagnet by using perpendicular-to-the-plane picosecond-range magnetic
Spin-flop transition (SFT) consists in a jump-like reversal of antiferromagnetic magnetic moments into a non-collinear state when the magnetic field increases above the critical value. Potentially the SFT can be utilized in many applications of a rap
Metamaterials based on mechanical elements have been developed over the past decade as a powerful platform for exploring analogs of electron transport in exotic regimes that are hard to produce in real materials. In addition to enabling new physics e
The band structure of bilayer graphene is tunable by introducing a relative twist angle between the two layers, unlocking exotic phases, such as superconductor and Mott insulator, and providing a fertile ground for new physics. At intermediate twist
