Abstract Antiferromagnetic two-dimensional (2D) materials are currently under intensive theoretical and experimental investigations in view of their potential applications in antiferromagnet-based magnonic and spintronic devices. Recent experimental studies revealed the importance of magnetic anisotropy and of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions (DMI) on the ordered ground state and the magnetic excitations in these materials. In this work we present a robust classical field theory approach to study the effects of anisotropy and the DMI on the edge and bulk spin waves in 2D antiferromagnetic nanoribbons. We predict the existence of a new class of nonreciprocal edge spin waves, characterized by opposite polarizations in counter-propagation. These novel edge spin waves are induced by the DMI and are fundamentally different from conventional nonreciprocal spin waves for which the polarization is independent of the propagation direction. We further analyze the effects of the edge structures on the magnetic excitations for these systems. In particular, we show that anisotropic bearded edge nanoribbons act as topologically trivial magnetic insulators with potentially interesting applications in magnonics. Our results constitute an important finding for current efforts seeking to establish unconventional magnonic devices utilizing spin wave polarization.

We report on a sensitive spectroscopic technique for probing the spin excitations of individual submicron magnets. This technique uses a high mobility two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) confined in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunction to pick up the oscillating dipolar magnetic field emanating from the individual spin wave modes of micromagnets fabricated at its surface. We review a range of dynamic phenomena that demonstrate the formation of magnetostatic waves in finger gate arrays, dipolar edge spin waves in bar magnets, vortex hysteresis in magnetic dots and the photovoltage dependence on microwave polarization.
