Antiferromagnetic spintronics is an emerging research field which aims to utilize antiferromagnets as core elements in spintronic devices. A central motivation toward this direction is that antiferromagnetic spin dynamics is expected to be much faster than ferromagnetic counterpart because antiferromagnets have higher resonance frequencies than ferromagnets. Recent theories indeed predicted faster dynamics of antiferromagnetic domain walls (DWs) than ferromagnetic DWs. However, experimental investigations of antiferromagnetic spin dynamics have remained unexplored mainly because of the immunity of antiferromagnets to magnetic fields. Furthermore, this immunity makes field-driven antiferromagnetic DW motion impossible despite rich physics of field-driven DW dynamics as proven in ferromagnetic DW studies. Here we show that fast field-driven antiferromagnetic spin dynamics is realized in ferrimagnets at the angular momentum compensation point TA. Using rare-earth 3d-transition metal ferrimagnetic compounds where net magnetic moment is nonzero at TA, the field-driven DW mobility remarkably enhances up to 20 km/sT. The collective coordinate approach generalized for ferrimagnets and atomistic spin model simulations show that this remarkable enhancement is a consequence of antiferromagnetic spin dynamics at TA. Our finding allows us to investigate the physics of antiferromagnetic spin dynamics and highlights the importance of tuning of the angular momentum compensation point of ferrimagnets, which could be a key towards ferrimagnetic spintronics.

The angular momentum compensation temperature $T_{rm A}$ of ferrimagnets has attracted much attention because of high-speed magnetic dynamics near $T_{rm A}$. We show that NMR can be used to investigate domain wall dynamics near $T_{rm A}$ in ferrima
gnets. We performed $^{57}$Fe-NMR measurements on the ferrimagnet Ho$_3$Fe$_5$O$_{12}$ with $T_{rm A} = 245$ K. In a multi-domain state, the NMR signal is enhanced by domain wall motion. We found that the NMR signal enhancement shows a maximum at $T_{rm A}$ in the multi-domain state. The NMR signal enhancement occurs due to increasing domain-wall mobility toward $T_{rm A}$. We develop the NMR signal enhancement model involves domain-wall mobility. Our study shows that NMR in multi-domain state is a powerful tool to determine $T_{rm A}$, even from a powder sample and it expands the possibility of searching for angular momentum-compensated materials.
We investigate a magnetic domain-wall (DW) motion in two dynamic regimes, creep and flow regimes, near the angular momentum compensation temperature (T_A) of ferrimagnet. In the flow regime, the DW speed shows sharp increase at T_A due to the emergen
ce of antiferromagnetic DW dynamics. In the creep regime, however, the DW speed exhibits a monotonic increase with increasing the temperature. This result suggests that, in the creep regime, the thermal activation process governs the DW dynamics even near T_A. Our result unambiguously shows the distinct behavior of ferrimagnetic DW motion depending on the dynamic regime, which is important for emerging ferrimagnet-based spintronic applications.
This work demonstrates that the magnetization and angular momentum compensation temperature (TMC and TAMC) in ferrimagnets (FiM) can be unambiguously determined by performing two sets of temperature dependent current switching, with the symmetry reve
rses at TMC and TAMC, respectively. A theoretical model based on the modified Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch equation is developed to systematically study the spin torque effect under different temperatures, and numerical simulations are performed to corroborate our proposal. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the recently reported linear relation between TAMC and TMC can be explained using the Curie-Weiss theory.
We investigate ferrimagnetic domain wall dynamics induced by circularly polarized spin waves theoretically and numerically. We find that the direction of domain wall motion depends on both the circular polarization of spin waves and the sign of net s
pin density of ferrimagnet. Below the angular momentum compensation point, left- (right-) circularly polarized spin waves push a domain wall towards (away from) the spin-wave source. Above the angular momentum compensation point, on the other hand, the direction of domain wall motion is reversed. This bidirectional motion originates from the fact that the sign of spin-wave-induced magnonic torque depends on the circular polarization and the subsequent response of the domain wall to the magnonic torque is governed by the net spin density. Our finding provides a way to utilize a spin wave as a versatile driving force for bidirectional domain wall motion.
Control of magnetic domain wall motion holds promise for efficient manipulation and transfer of magnetically stored information. Thermal magnon currents, generated by temperature gradients, can be used to move magnetic textures, from domain walls, to
magnetic vortices and skyrmions. In the last years, theoretical studies have centered in ferro- and antiferromagnetic spin structures, where domain walls always move towards the hotter end of the thermal gradient. Here we perform numerical studies using atomistic spin dynamics simulations and complementary analytical calculations to derive an equation of motion for the domain wall velocity. We demonstrate that in ferrimagnets, domain wall motion under thermal magnon currents shows a much richer dynamics. Below the Walker breakdown, we find that the temperature gradient always pulls the domain wall towards the hot end by minimizating its free energy, in agreement with the observations for ferro- and antiferromagnets in the same regime. Above Walker breakdown, the ferrimagnetic domain wall can show the opposite, counterintuitive behavior of moving towards the cold end. We show that in this case, the motion to the hotter or the colder ends is driven by angular momentum transfer and therefore strongly related to the angular momentum compensation temperature, a unique property of ferrimagnets where the intrinsic angular momentum of the ferrimagnet is zero while the sublattice angular momentum remains finite. In particular, we find that below the compensation temperature the wall moves towards the cold end, whereas above it, towards the hot end. Moreover, we find that for ferrimagnets, there is a torque compensation temperature at which the domain wall dynamics shows similar characteristics to antiferromagnets, that is, quasi-inertia-free motion and the absence of Walker breakdown.
