Magnetic vortex echoes: application to the study of arrays of magnetic nanostructures
We propose the use of the gyrotropic motion of vortex cores in nanomagnets to produce a magnetic echo, analogous to the spin echo in NMR. This echo occurs when an array of nanomagnets, e.g., nanodisks, is magnetized with an in-plane (xy) field, and after a time \tau a field pulse inverts the core magnetization; the ech...

Current-induced motion of a transverse magnetic domain wall in the presence of spin Hall effect
We theoretically study the current-induced dynamics of a transverse magnetic domain wall in bi-layer nanowires consisting of a ferromagnet on top of a nonmagnet having strong spin-orbit coupling. Domain wall dynamics is characterized by two threshold current densities, $J_{th}^{WB}$ and $J_{th}^{REV}$, where $J_{th}^{W...

Rotating skyrmion lattices by spin torques and field or temperature gradients
Chiral magnets like MnSi form lattices of skyrmions, i.e. magnetic whirls, which react sensitively to small electric currents j above a critical current density jc. The interplay of these currents with tiny gradients of either the magnetic field or the temperature can induce a rotation of the magnetic pattern for j>jc....

Control of the in-plane anisotropy in off-stoichiometric NiMnSb
NiMnSb is a ferromagnetic half-metal which, because of its rich anisotropy and very low Gilbert damping, is a promising candidate for applications in information technologies. We have investigated the in-plane anisotropy properties of thin, MBE-grown NiMnSb films as a function of their Mn concentration. Using ferromagn...

Current-induced magnetization dynamics in two magnetic insulators separated by a normal metal
We study the dynamics of spin valves consisting of two layers of magnetic insulators separated by a normal metal in the macrospin model. A current through the spacer generates a spin Hall current that can actuate the magnetization via the spin-transfer torque. We derive expressions for the effective Gilbert damping and...

Brownian motion of massive skyrmions forced by spin polarized currents
We report on the thermal effects on the motion of current-driven massive magnetic skyrmions. The reduced equation for the motion of skyrmion has the form of a stochastic generalized Thiele's equation.

Capturing of a Magnetic Skyrmion with a Hole
Magnetic whirls in chiral magnets, so-called skyrmions, can be manipulated by ultrasmall current densities.

Bose-Einstein Condensation of Magnons Pumped by the Bulk Spin Seebeck Effect
We propose inducing Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons in a magnetic insulator by a heat flow oriented toward its boundary. At a critical heat flux, the oversaturated thermal gas of magnons accumulated at the boundary precipitates the condensate, which then grows gradually as the thermal bias is dialed up further. T...

The interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (iDMI), surface anisotropy energy, and spin pumping at the Ir/Co interface are experimentally investigated by performing Brillouin light scattering. Contrary to previous reports, we suggest that the sign of the iDMI at the Ir/Co interface is the same as in the case of t...

Coupled Spin-Light dynamics in Cavity Optomagnonics
Experiments during the past two years have shown strong resonant photon-magnon coupling in microwave cavities, while coupling in the optical regime was demonstrated very recently for the first time. Unlike with microwaves, the coupling in optical cavities is parametric, akin to optomechanical systems. This line of rese...

Anomalous Feedback and Negative Domain Wall Resistance
