We theoretically investigate pumping of phonons by the dynamics of a magnetic film into a non-magnetic contact. The enhanced damping due to the loss of energy and angular momentum shows interference patterns as a function of resonance frequency and magnetic film thickness that cannot be described by viscous (Gilbert) damping. The phonon pumping depends on magnetization direction as well as geometrical and material parameters and is observable, e.g., in thin films of yttrium iron garnet on a thick dielectric substrate.

The magnetization dynamics induced by standing elastic waves excited in a thin ferromagnetic film is described with the aid of micromagnetic simulations taking into account the magnetoelastic coupling between spins and lattice strains. The simulation s have been performed for the 2 nm thick Fe81Ga19 film dynamically strained by longitudinal and transverse standing waves with various frequencies, which span a wide range around the resonance frequency nu_res of coherent magnetization precession in unstrained Fe81Ga19 film. It is found that standing elastic waves give rise to complex local magnetization dynamics and spatially inhomogeneous dynamic magnetic patterns. The spatio-temporal distributions of the magnetization oscillations in standing elastic waves have the form of standing spin waves with the same wavelength. Remarkably, the amplitude of magnetization precession does not go to zero at the nodes of these spin waves, which cannot be precisely described by simple analytical formulae. In the steady-state regime, the magnetization oscillates with the frequency of elastic wave, except for the case of longitudinal waves with frequencies well below nu_res, where the magnetization precesses with a variable frequency strongly exceeding the wave frequency. The precession amplitude at the antinodes of standing spin waves strongly increases when the frequency of elastic wave becomes close to nu_res. The results obtained for the magnetization dynamics driven by elastic waves are used to calculate the spin current pumped from the dynamically strained ferromagnet into adjacent paramagnetic metal. Importantly, the transverse charge current created by the spin current via the inverse spin Hall effect is high enough to be measured experimentally.
We study theoretically a chain of precessing classical magnetic impurities in an $s$-wave superconductor. Utilizing a rotating wave description, we derive an effective Hamiltonian that describes the emergent Shiba band. We find that this Hamiltonian shows non-trivial topological properties, and we obtain the corresponding topological phase diagrams both numerically and analytically. We show that changing the precession frequency offers a control over topological phase transitions and the emergence of Majorana bound states. We propose driving the magnetic impurities or magnetic texture into precession by means of spin-transfer torque in a spin-Hall setup, and manipulate it using spin superfluidity in the case of planar magnetic order.
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 ma gnetization 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.
We present a microscopic calculation of magnetization damping for a magnetic toy model. The magnetic system consists of itinerant carriers coupled antiferromagnetically to a dispersionless band of localized spins, and the magnetization damping is due to coupling of the itinerant carriers to a phonon bath in the presence of spin-orbit coupling. Using a mean-field approximation for the kinetic exchange model and assuming the spin-orbit coupling to be of the Rashba form, we derive Boltzmann scattering integrals for the distributions and spin coherences in the case of an antiferromagnetic exchange splitting, including a careful analysis of the connection between lifetime broadening and the magnetic gap. For the Elliott-Yafet type itinerant spin dynamics we extract dephasing and magnetization times T_1 and T_2 from initial conditions corresponding to a tilt of the magnetization vector, and draw a comparison to phenomenological equations such as the Landau-Lifshitz or the Gilbert damping. We also analyze magnetization precession and damping for this system including an anisotropy field and find a carrier mediated dephasing of the localized spin via the mean-field coupling.
We present a comprehensive experimental and numerical study of magnetization dynamics triggered in a thin metallic film by single-cycle terahertz pulses of $sim20$ MV/m electric field amplitude and $sim1$ ps duration. The experimental dynamics is pro bed using the femtosecond magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE), and it is reproduced numerically using macrospin simulations. The magnetization dynamics can be decomposed in three distinct processes: a coherent precession of the magnetization around the terahertz magnetic field, an ultrafast demagnetization that suddenly changes the anisotropy of the film, and a uniform precession around the equilibrium effective field that is relaxed on the nanosecond time scale, consistent with a Gilbert damping process. Macrospin simulations quantitatively reproduce the observed dynamics, and allow us to predict that novel nonlinear magnetization dynamics regimes can be attained with existing table-top terahertz sources.
