AbstractLarge-amplitude magnetization dynamics is substantially more complex compared to the low-amplitude linear regime, due to the inevitable emergence of nonlinearities. One of the fundamental nonlinear phenomena is the nonlinear damping enhancement, which imposes strict limitations on the operation and efficiency of magnetic nanodevices. In particular, nonlinear damping prevents excitation of coherent magnetization auto-oscillations driven by the injection of spin current into spatially extended magnetic regions. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate that nonlinear damping can be controlled by the ellipticity of magnetization precession. By balancing different contributions to anisotropy, we minimize the ellipticity and achieve coherent magnetization oscillations driven by spatially extended spin current injection into a microscopic magnetic disk. Our results provide a route for the implementation of efficient active spintronic and magnonic devices driven by spin current.

AbstractThe quanta of magnetic excitations – magnons – are known for their unique ability to undergo Bose-Einstein condensation at room temperature. This fascinating phenomenon reveals itself as a spontaneous formation of a coherent state under the influence of incoherent stimuli. Spin currents have been predicted to offer electronic control of Bose-Einstein condensates, but this phenomenon has not been experimentally evidenced up to now. Here we show that current-driven Bose-Einstein condensation can be achieved in nanometer-thick films of magnetic insulators with tailored nonlinearities and minimized magnon interactions. We demonstrate that, above a certain threshold, magnons injected by the spin current overpopulate the lowest-energy level forming a highly coherent spatially extended state. We quantify the chemical potential of the driven magnon gas and show that, at the critical current, it reaches the energy of the lowest magnon level. Our results pave the way for implementation of integrated microscopic quantum magnonic and spintronic devices.

Laser-induced magnetization dynamics in Gd[Formula: see text]Fe[Formula: see text]Co[Formula: see text] (GdFeCo) film was investigated by time-resolved magneto-optical effect. After an ultrafast demagnetization and a magnetization recovery process, a second slower drop from several picoseconds (ps) to 200[Formula: see text]ps was observed. Previous report explained it as the demagnetization of Gd sublattice. However, when timescale extended up to 5 nanosecond (ns), we identified it as the part of an oscillated magnetization precession. It presents the change of magnetization orientation rather than the change of magnetization amplitude. Our results reveal that the low thermal diffusion coefficient of GdFeCo film plays an important role in the laser-induced magnetization dynamics of GdFeCo film.

Abstract Nonlinear Quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) vibration isolation systems with linear damping cannot lead to displacement isolation with different excitation levels. In this study, a QZS system with nonlinear hysteretic damping was investigated. The Duffing-Ueda equation with a coupling nonlinear parameter 𝜂 was proposed to describe the dynamic motion of the QZS system. By using the harmonic balance method (HBM), the primary and secondary harmonic responses were obtained and verified by numerical simulations. The results indicated that nonlinear damping can guarantee a bounded response for different excitation levels. The one-third subharmonic response was found to affect the isolation frequency range even when the primary response was stable. To evaluate the performance of the QZS system, the effective isolation frequency Ω𝑒 and maximum transmissibility 𝑇𝑝 were proposed to represent the vibration isolation range and isolation effect, respectively. By discussing the effect of 𝜂 on Ω𝑒 and 𝑇𝑝, the conditions to avoid nonlinear phenomena and improve the isolation performance are provided. A prototype of the QZS system was then constructed for vibration tests, which verified the theoretical analysis.

Magnetic damping is a key metric for emerging technologies based on magnetic nanoparticles, such as spin torque memory and high-resolution biomagnetic imaging. Despite its importance, understanding of magnetic dissipation in nanoscale ferromagnets remains elusive, and the damping is often treated as a phenomenological constant. Here, we report the discovery of a giant frequency-dependent nonlinear damping that strongly alters the response of a nanoscale ferromagnet to spin torque and microwave magnetic field. This damping mechanism originates from three-magnon scattering that is strongly enhanced by geometric confinement of magnons in the nanomagnet. We show that the giant nonlinear damping can invert the effect of spin torque on a nanomagnet, leading to an unexpected current-induced enhancement of damping by an antidamping torque. Our work advances the understanding of magnetic dynamics in nanoscale ferromagnets and spin torque devices.

Abstract Since its discovery, yttrium iron garnet (YIG) has been object of great interest because of its peculiarly low magnetic damping. Magnetic materials with reduced damping promote microwave power efficiency, longer magnon lifetime and longer spin-wave propagation. Owing to research on charge-to-spin current conversion, the control of magnetic damping in ferromagnetic thin films has recently been achieved by inducing charge current on adjacent metal layer with strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC). We report damping reduction in metallized YIG thin films (YIG/Ag/Ni) without the need of applied charge current and suggest that the origin of this unexpected effect is a strengthening of the FMR uniform mode in the YIG layer, due to frequency- and phase-locking that result from self-synchronization mediated by nonzero spin densities transiting the metallic layers.
