We propose two approaches to cloak the spin waves (magnons) by investigating magnetization dynamics. One approach is based on a spatially inhomogeneous anisotropic magnetic moment tensor. The other mechanism is using a spatially inhomogeneous anisotropic gyromagnetic factor tensor and an inhomogeneous external magnetic field. For both approaches, the damping tensor is also inhomogeneous and anisotropic. The magnetic characteristic functions of the magnetic materials have been theoretically derived for both mechanisms. A non-magnetic core, which prevents magnons from entering and consequently distorts the spin wave propagation, can be cloaked by a structured magnetic shell to redirect the spin wave around the core using the above design mechanisms. We discuss the feasibility of the proposed mechanisms in an ensemble of quantum dot molecules and magnetic semiconductors. The proposed approaches shed light on transformation magnonics, and can be utilized for future spin-wave lenses, concentrators, low back-scattering waveguides, and ultimately quantum computing.

We investigate the influence of magnons on the temperature-dependence and the anisotropy of the spin-orbit torque (SOT). For this purpose we use 3rd order perturbation theory in the framework of the Keldysh formalism in order to derive suitable equat ions to compute the magnonic SOT. We find several contributions to the magnonic SOT, which depend differently on the spin-wave stiffness $mathcal{A}$ and on the temperature $T$, with the dominating contribution scaling like $T^{2}/mathcal{A}^{2}$. Based on this formalism we compute the magnonic SOT in the ferromagnetic Rashba model. For large Rashba parameters the magnonic SOT is strongly anisotropic and for small quasiparticle broadening it may become larger than the non-magnonic SOT.
We investigate the intrinsic magnon spin current in a noncollinear antiferromagnetic insulator. We introduce a definition of the magnon spin current in a noncollinear antiferromagnet and find that it is in general non-conserved, but for certain symme tries and spin polarizations the averaged effect of non-conserving terms can vanish. We formulate a general linear response theory for magnons in noncollinear antiferromagnets subject to a temperature gradient and analyze the effect of symmetries on the response tensor. We apply this theory to single-layer potassium iron jarosite KFe$_3$(OH)$_6$(SO$_4$)$_2$ and predict a measurable spin current response.
Exfoliated chromium triiodide (CrI$_3$) is a layered van der Waals (vdW) magnetic insulator that consists of ferromagnetic layers coupled through antiferromagnetic interlayer exchange. The resulting permutations of magnetic configurations combined wi th the underlying crystal symmetry produces tunable magneto-optical phenomena that is unique to the two-dimensional (2D) limit. Here, we report the direct observation of 2D magnons through magneto-Raman spectroscopy with optical selection rules that are strictly determined by the honeycomb lattice and magnetic states of atomically thin CrI$_3$. In monolayers, we observe an acoustic magnon mode of ~0.3 meV with cross-circularly polarized selection rules locked to the magnetization direction. These unique selection rules arise from the discrete conservation of angular momentum of photons and magnons dictated by threefold rotational symmetry in a rotational analogue to Umklapp scattering. In bilayers, by tuning between the layered antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic-like states, we observe the switching of two magnon modes. The bilayer structure also enables Raman activity from the optical magnon mode at ~17 meV (~4.2 THz) that is otherwise Raman-silent in the monolayer. From these measurements, we quantitatively extract the spin wave gap, magnetic anisotropy, intralayer and interlayer exchange constants, and establish 2D magnets as a new system for exploring magnon physics.
Hybrid systems coupling quantum spin defects (QSD) and magnons can enable unique spintronic device functionalities and probes for magnetism. Here, we add electric field control of magnon-QSD coupling to such systems by integrating ferromagnet-ferroel ectric multiferroic with nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center spins. Combining quantum relaxometry with ferromagnetic resonance measurements and analytical modeling, we reveal that the observed electric-field tuning results from ferroelectric polarization control of the magnon-generated fields at the NV. Exploiting the demonstrated control, we also propose magnon-enhanced hybrid electric field sensors with improved sensitivity.
We investigate generation of exchange magnons by ultrashort, picosecond acoustic pulses propagating through ferromagnetic thin films. Using the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equations we derive the dispersion relation for exchange magnons for an external m agnetic field tilted with respect to the film normal. Decomposing the solution in a series of standing spin wave modes, we derive a system of ordinary differential equations and driven harmonic oscillator equations describing the dynamics of individual magnon mode. The external magnetoelastic driving force is given by the time-dependent spatial Fourier components of acoustic strain pulses inside the layer. Dependencies of the magnon excitation efficiencies on the duration of the acoustic pulses and the external magnetic field highlight the role of acoustic bandwidth and phonon-magnon phase matching. Our simulations for ferromagnetic nickel evidence the possibility of ultrafast magneto-acoustic excitation of exchange magnons within the bandwidth of acoustic pulses in thin samples under conditions readily obtained in femtosecond pump-probe experiments.
