Synthetic antiferromagnet, comprised of two ferromagnetic layers separated by a non-magnetic layer, possesses two uniform precession resonance modes: in-phase acoustic mode and out-of-phase optic mode. In this work, we theoretically and numerically demonstrated the strong coupling between acoustic and optic magnon modes. The strong coupling is attributed to the symmetry breaking of the system, which can be realized by tilting the bias field or constructing an asymmetrical synthetic antiferromagnet. It is found that the coupling strength can be highly adjusted by tuning the tilting angle of bias field, the magnitude of antiferromagnetic interlayer exchange coupling, and the thicknesses of ferromagnetic layers. Furthermore, the coupling between acoustic and optic magnon modes can even reach the ultrastrong coupling regime. Our findings show high promise for investigating quantum phenomenon with a magnonic platform.

The magnon-magnon coupling in synthetic antiferromagnets advances it as hybrid magnonic systems to explore the quantum information technologies. To induce the magnon-magnon coupling, the parity symmetry between two magnetization needs to be broken. H ere we experimentally demonstrate a convenient method to break the parity symmetry by the asymmetric thickness of two magnetic layers and thus introduce a magnon-magnon coupling in Ir-based synthetic antiferromagnets CoFeB(10 nm)/Ir(tIr=0.6 nm, 1.2 nm)/CoFeB(13 nm). Remarkably, we find that the weakly uniaxial anisotropy field (~ 20 Oe) makes the magnon-magnon coupling anisotropic. The coupling strength presented by a characteristic anticrossing gap varies in the range between 0.54 GHz and 0.90 GHz for tIr =0.6 nm, and between nearly zero to 1.4 GHz for tIr = 1.2 nm, respectively. Our results demonstrate a feasible way to induce the magnon-magnon coupling by an asymmetric structure and tune the coupling strength by varying the direction of in-plane magnetic field. The magnon-magnon coupling in this highly tunable material system could open exciting perspectives for exploring quantum-mechanical coupling phenomena.
Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of triplet excitations triggered by a magnetic field, sometimes called magnon BEC, in dimerized antiferromagnets gives rise to a long-range antiferromagnetic order in the plane perpendicular to the applied magnetic fi eld. To explore the effects of spin-orbit coupling on magnon condensation, we study the spin model on the distorted honeycomb lattice with dimerized Heisenberg exchange ($J$ terms) and uniform off-diagonal exchange ($Gamma$ terms) interactions. By using variational Monte Carlo method and spin wave theory, we find that an out-of-plane magnetic field can induce different types of long-range magnetic orders, no matter if the ground state is a non-magnetic dimerized state or an antiferromagnetically ordered N{e}el state. Furthermore, the critical properties of field-driven phase transitions in systems with spin-orbit coupling can be different from the conventional magnon BEC. Our study is helpful to understand the rich phases of spin-orbit coupled antiferromagnets in an external magnetic field.
Inelastic neutron scattering was used to systematically investigate the spin-wave excitations (magnons) in ferromagnetic manganese perovskites. In spite of the large differences in the Curie temperatures ($T_C$s) of different manganites, their low-te mperature spin waves were found to have very similar dispersions with the zone boundary magnon softening. From the wavevector dependence of the magnon lifetime effects and its correlation with the dispersions of the optical phonon modes, we argue that a strong magneto-elastic coupling is responsible for the observed low temperature anomalous spin dynamical behavior of the manganites.

The controllable magnetic skyrmion motion represents a highly concerned issue in preparing advanced skyrmion-based spintronic devices. Specifically, magnon-driven skyrmion motion can be easily accessible in both metallic and insulating magnets, and t hus is highly preferred over electric current control further for the ultra-low energy consumption. In this work, we investigate extensively the dynamics of skyrmion motion driven by magnon in an antiferromagnet using the collective coordinate theory, focusing on the effect of magnon polarization. It is revealed that the skyrmion Hall motion driven by circularly polarized magnon becomes inevitable generally, consistent with earlier report. Furthermore, the elastic scattering theory and numerical results unveil the strong inter-dependence between the linearly polarized magnon and skyrmion motion, suggesting the complicated dependence of the skyrmion motion on the polarization nature of driving magnon. On the reversal, the scattering from the moving skyrmion may lead to decomposition of the linearly polarized magnon into two elliptically polarized magnon bands. Consequently, a net transverse force acting on skyrmion is generated owing to the broken mirror symmetry, which in turn drives a skyrmion Hall motion. The Hall motion can be completely suppressed only in some specific condition where the mirror symmetry is preserved. The present work unveils non-trivial skyrmion-magnon scattering behavior in antiferromagnets, advancing the antiferromagnetic spintronics and benefiting to high-performance devices.
We report the observation of an unusual behavior of highly extended 5d electrons in Y2Ir2O7 belonging to pyrochlore family of great current interest using high resolution photoemission spectroscopy. The experimental bulk spectra reveal an intense low er Hubbard band in addition to weak intensities in the vicinity of the Fermi level, e_F. This provides a direct evidence for strong electron correlation among the 5d electrons, despite their highly extended nature. The high resolution spectrum at room temperature exhibits a pseudogap at e_F and |e - e_F|^2 dependence demonstrating the importance of electron correlation in this system. Remarkably, in the magnetically ordered phase (T < 150 K), the spectral lineshape evolves to a |e - e_F|^1.5 dependence emphasizing the dominant role of electron-magnon coupling.
