Bends In Nanotubes Allow Electric Spin Control and Coupling
We investigate combined effects of spin-orbit coupling and magnetic field in carbon nanotubes containing one or more bends along their length. We show how bends can be used to provide electrical control of confined spins, while spins confined in straight segments remain insensitive to electric fields. Device geometries...

Cavity quantum electro-optics
The quantum dynamics of the coupling between a cavity optical field and a resonator microwave field via the electro-optic effect is studied.

Magnetoresistance studies of $La_{2/3} Sr_{1/3} MnO_3$ - $YBa_2 Cu_3 O_7$ - $La_{2/3} Sr_{1/3} Mn O_3$ trilayers with ferromagnetic coupling along the nodal direction of $YBa_2 Cu_3 O_7$
I have successfully prepared (110) trilayers of \LSMO-\YBCO-\LSMO. Magnetization measurements on these samples reveal a stronger coupling between the ferromagnetic layers. The coupling is an order of magnitude higher than that seen in the case of (001) trilayers. Magnetoresistance measurements show a first order transi...

Study of the running coupling constant in 10-flavor QCD with the Schrödinger functional method
The electroweak gauge symmetry is allowed to be spontaneously broken by the strongly interacting vector-like gauge dynamics.

Ultrafast Optomagnonics in Ferrimagnetic Multi-Sublattice Garnets
This review discusses the ultrafast magnetization dynamics within the gigahertz to terahertz frequency range in ferrimagnetic rare-earth iron garnets with different substitutions.

Platinum/Yttrium Iron Garnet Inverted Structures for Spin Current Transport
30-80 nm thick yttrium iron garnet (YIG) films are grown by pulsed laser deposition on a 5 nm thick sputtered Pt atop gadolinium gallium garnet substrate (GGG) (110). Upon post-growth rapid thermal annealing, single crystal YIG(110) emerges as if it were epitaxially grown on GGG(110) despite the presence of the interme...

Ultra-low damping in lift-off structured yttrium iron garnet thin films
We show that using maskless photolithography and the lift-off technique, patterned yttrium iron garnet thin films possessing ultra-low Gilbert damping can be accomplished. The films of 70 nm thickness were grown on (001)-oriented gadolinium gallium garnet by means of pulsed laser deposition, and they exhibit high cryst...

Integration and characterization of micron-sized YIG structures with very low Gilbert damping on arbitrary substrates
We present a novel process that allows the transfer of monocrystalline yttrium-iron-garnet microstructures onto virtually any kind of substrate. The process is based on a recently developed method that allows the fabrication of freestanding monocrystalline YIG bridges on gadolinium-gallium-garnet. Here the bridges' spa...

Robust perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in Ce substituted yttrium iron garnet epitaxial thin films
Cerium substituted yttrium iron garnet (Ce:YIG) epitaxial thin films are prepared on gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG) substrate with pulsed laser deposition (PLD). It is observed that the films grown on GGG(111) substrate exhibit perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) as compared to films grown on GGG(100) substrate. T...

Relative weight of the inverse spin Hall and spin rectification effects for metallic Py,Fe/Pt and insulating YIG/Pt bilayers estimated by angular dependent spin pumping measurements
We quantify the relative weight of inverse spin Hall and spin rectification effects occurring in RF-sputtered polycrystalline permalloy, molecular beam epitaxy-grown epitaxial iron and liquid phase epitaxy-grown yttrium-iron-garnet bilayer systems with different capping materials.

Quantum thermodynamics of complex ferrimagnets
High-quality magnets such as yttrium iron garnet (YIG) are electrically insulating and very complex. By implementing a quantum thermostat into atomistic spin dynamics we compute YIG's key thermodynamic properties, viz. the magnon power spectrum and specific heat, for a large temperature range. The results differ (somet...

Polarization-selective magneto-optical modulation
We study magneto-optical coupling in a ferrimagnetic sphere resonator made of Yttrium iron garnet. We find that the resonator can be operated in the telecom band as a polarization-selective optical modulator. Intermodulation gain can be employed in the nonlinear regime for amplification.

One Analytical Approach of Rashba-Edelstein Magnetoresistance in 2D Materials
We study analytically the Rashba-Edelstein magnetoresistance (REMR) in a structure made from an insulator ferromagnet, such as yttrium iron garnet (YIG), and a 2D material (2DM) with direct and inverse Rashba-Edelstein effects, such as SLG and MoS$_2$. Our results represent an efficient way of analyzing the Rashba-Edel...

Chiral spin-wave velocities induced by all-garnet interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in ultrathin yttrium iron garnet films
Spin waves can probe the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) which gives rise to topological spin textures, such as skyrmions. However, the DMI has not yet been reported in yttrium iron garnet (YIG) with arguably the lowest damping for spin waves. In this work, we experimentally evidence the interfacial DMI in a 7~...

Field-dependence of magnon decay in yttrium iron garnet thin films
We discuss threshold field-dependence of the decay rate of the uniform magnon mode in yttrium iron garnet (YIG) thin films. We demonstrate that decays must cease to exist in YIG films of thickness less than 1 \mu m, the lengthscale defined by the exchange length. We show that due to the symmetry of the three-magnon cou...

Spin-Hall Magnetoresistance in Platinum on Yttrium Iron Garnet: Dependence on platinum thickness and in-plane/out-of-plane magnetization
The occurrence of Spin-Hall Magnetoresistance (SMR) in platinum (Pt) on top of yttrium iron garnet (YIG) has been investigated, for both in-plane and out-of-plane applied magnetic fields and for different Pt thicknesses [3, 4, 8 and 35nm]. Our experiments show that the SMR signal directly depends on the in-plane and ou...

Simultaneous detection of the spin-Hall magnetoresistance and the spin-Seebeck effect in Platinum and Tantalum on Yttrium Iron Garnet
The spin-Seebeck effect (SSE) in platinum (Pt) and tantalum (Ta) on yttrium iron garnet (YIG) has been investigated by both externally heating the sample (using an on-chip Pt heater on top of the device) as well as by current-induced heating. For SSE measurements, external heating is the most common method to obtain cl...

Rayleigh-Jeans condensation of pumped magnons in thin film ferromagnets
We show that the formation of a magnon condensate in thin ferromagnetic films can be explained within the framework of a classical stochastic non-Markovian Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation where the properties of the random magnetic field and the dissipation are determined by the underlying phonon dynamics. We have num...

Investigation of the unidirectional spin heat conveyer effect in a 200nm thin Yttrium Iron Garnet film
We have investigated the unidirectional spin wave heat conveyer effect in sub-micron thick yttrium iron garnet (YIG) films using lock-in thermography (LIT). Although the effect is small in thin layers this technique allows us to observe asymmetric heat transport by magnons which leads to asymmetric temperature profiles...

Magnetic control of Goos-Hanchen shifts in a yttrium-iron-garnet film
We investigate the Goos-Hanchen (G-H) shifts reflected and transmitted by a yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) film for both normal and oblique incidence. It is found that the nonreciprocity effect of the MO material does not only result in a nonvanishing reflected shift at normal incidence, but also leads to a slab-thickness-i...
