Integrated optically-inspired wave-based processing is envisioned to outperform digital architectures in specific tasks, such as image processing and speech recognition. In this view, spin-waves represent a promising route due to their nanoscale wavelength in the GHz frequency range and rich phenomenology. Here, we realize a versatile optically-inspired platform using spin-waves, demonstrating the wavefront engineering, focusing, and robust interference of spin-waves with nanoscale wavelength. In particular, we use magnonic nanoantennas based on tailored spin-textures for launching spatially shaped coherent wavefronts, diffraction-limited spin-wave beams, and generating robust multi-beam interference patterns, which spatially extend for several times the spin-wave wavelength. Furthermore, we show that intriguing features, such as resilience to back-reflection, naturally arise from the spin-wave nonreciprocity in synthetic antiferromagnets, preserving the high quality of the interference patterns from spurious counterpropagating modes. This work represents a fundamental step towards the realization of nanoscale optically-inspired devices based on spin-waves.

We theoretically propose a nonreciprocal spin Seebeck effect, i.e., nonreciprocal spin transport generated by a temperature gradient, in antiferromagnetic insulators with broken inversion symmetry. We find that nonreciprocity in antiferromagnets has
rich properties not expected in ferromagnets. In particular, we show that polar antiferromagnets, in which the crystal lacks the spatial inversion symmetry, exhibit perfect nonreciprocity --- one-way spin current flow irrespective of the direction of the temperature gradient. We also show that nonpolar centrosymmetric crystals can exhibit nonreciprocity when a magnetic order breaks the inversion symmetry, and in this case, the direction of the nonreciprocal flow can be controlled by reversing the magnetic domain. As their representatives, we calculate the nonreciprocal spin Seebeck voltages for the polar antiferromagnet $alpha$-Cu$_2$V$_2$O$_7$ and the honeycomb antiferromagnet MnPS$_3$, while varying temperature and magnetic field.
The magnetocaloric effect in exchange-coupled synthetic-antiferromagnet multilayers is investigated experimentally and theoretically. We observe a temperature-controlled inversion of the effect, where the entropy increases on switching the individual
ferromagnetic layers from anti-parallel to parallel alignment near their Curie point. Using a microscopic analytical model as well as numerical atomistic-spin simulations of the system, we explain the observed effect as due to the interplay between the intra- and inter-layer exchange interactions, which either add up or counteract to effectively modulate the Curie temperature of the dilute ferromagnetic layers. The proposed method of designing tunable, strongly magneto-caloric materials should be of interest for such applications as heat-assisted spintronics and magnetic refrigeration.
Spin waves in antiferromagnetic materials have great potential for next-generation magnonic technologies. However, their properties and their dependence on the type of ground-state antiferromagnetic structure are still open questions. Here, we invest
igate theoretically spin waves in one- and two-dimensional model systems with a focus on noncollinear antiferromagnetic textures such as spin spirals and skyrmions of opposite topological charges. We address in particular the nonreciprocal spin excitations recently measured in bulk antiferromagnet $alpha$--$text{Cu}_2text{V}_2text{O}_7$ utilizing inelastic neutron scattering experiments [Phys. Rev. Lett. textbf{119}, 047201 (2017)], where we help to characterize the nature of the detected spin-wave modes. Furthermore, we discuss how the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction can lift the degeneracy of the spin-wave modes in antiferromagnets, resembling the electronic Rashba splitting. We consider the spin-wave excitations in antiferromagnetic spin-spiral and skyrmion systems and discuss the features of their inelastic scattering spectra. We demonstrate that antiskyrmions can be obtained with an isotropic Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in certain antiferromagnets.
We study the interaction of surface acoustic waves with spin waves in ultra-thin CoFeB/Pt bilayers. Due to the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), the spin wave dispersion is non-degenerate for oppositely propagating spin waves in Co
FeB/Pt. In combination with the additional nonreciprocity of the magnetoacoustic coupling itself, highly nonreciprocal acoustic wave transmission through the magnetic film is observed. We systematically characterize the magnetoacoustic wave propagation in a thickness series of CoFeB($d$)/Pt samples as a function of magnetic field magnitude and direction, and at frequencies up to 7 GHz. We quantitatively model our results to extract the strength of the DMI and magnetoacoustic driving fields.
The research field of magnonics proposes a low-energy wave-logic computation technology based on spin waves to complement the established CMOS technology and to provide a basis for emerging unconventional computation architectures, e.g. neuromorphic
or quantum computing. However, magnetic damping is a limiting factor for all-magnonic logic circuits and multi-device networks, ultimately rendering mechanisms to efficiently manipulate and amplify spin waves a necessity. In this regard, parallel pumping is a versatile tool since it allows to selectively generate and amplify spin waves. While extensively studied in microscopic systems, nano-scaled systems are lacking investigation to assess the feasibility and potential future use of parallel pumping in magnonics. Here, we investigate a longitudinally magnetized 100 nm-wide magnonic nano-conduit using space and time-resolved micro-focused Brillouin-light-scattering spectroscopy. Employing parallel pumping to generate spin waves, we observe that a non-resonant excitation of dipolar spin-waves is favored over the resonant excitation of short wavelength exchange spin waves. In addition, we utilize this technique to access the effective spin-wave relaxation time of an individual nano-conduit, observing a large relaxation time up to (115.0 +- 7.6) ns. Despite the significant decrease of the ellipticity of the magnetization precession in the investigated nano-conduit, a reasonably small threshold is found rendering parallel parametric amplification feasible on the nano-scale.
