In the Au/CoFeB multilayer deposited on a Si substrate, the thermally excited Love surface acoustic wave (transversal displacements of the cubes) and the spin wave (red cones) interact with each other. The interaction can be detected in phonon and magnon dispersion relation, measured by optical means, using Brillouin light scattering spectrometry.

Abstract

Research project objective/Research hypothesis

The project is focused on the interactions between magnons and phonons in nanostructures. We are going to consider the system in which the existence both spin waves and elastic waves is possible. The main goal of this Project is modification of the interaction between magnons and phonons by adjusting the structural and material parameters of periodic nanostructures.

The investigated periodic structures will be designed to alter (to enhance or to weaken) the dynamical magneto-elastic interactions by deliberate introduction of structural and material changes or by adjustment of the external magnetic field. We plan to study the systems composed of elastic slab loaded by periodic array of elements deposited on its surface. The elements (stripes or dots) can be deposited directly on the dielectric substrate or on the thin metallic (ferromagnetic) underlayer. The deposited elements can be both magnetic and nonmagnetic.

The enhancement is possible when the magnonic and phononic bands coincides in frequency domain and ensured for the surface elastic waves (of Rayleigh and Sezawa type) localized in the area where the ferromagnetic elements (underlayer and stripes or dots) are located (i.e. on the surface). The elastic stress concentrated in ferromagnetic (magnetostrictive) subsystem induces the magneto-elastic coupling which can damp or amplify the spin waves dynamics at selected resonance frequencies (depending if the elastic wave is thermally activated or generated in the form of coherent acoustic wave).

Due to the periodicity of phononic (magnonic) subsystem the phononic (magnonic) dispersion will be folded. This allows to fulfill the resonance conditions for strong magneto-elastic coupling at a few frequencies corresponding to the multiple crossing of dispersion bands of phononic and magnonic systems. The magneto-elastic coupling can be also tuned in periodic nanostructures be adjusting the external magnetic field. The appropriately chosen magnetic field can the enhance (or reduce) the overlapping of magonic and phononic bands by shifting of the magnonic spectrum in frequency domain. This leads to the increase (or decrease) of the strength of magneto-elastic interactions.

For selected systems in which strong magneto-elastic coupling were observed, we are going to investigate (numerically and experimentally) the possibility of spin wave (elastic wave) amplification by the interaction with elastic wave (spin wave) generated by piezoelectric transducers (micro stripe antenna). The outcomes, we will obtain form this study, will allow us to verify the research hypothesis about the possibility of change of magneto-elastic coupling by periodic patterning of the system.

Research project methodology

The research plan encompasses both theoretical and experimental investigations covering the whole cycle of research: numerical simulation – fabrication – characterization – interpretation and theoretical analysis. The theoretical research will be focused on solution of equations describing dynamics of elastic waves (classical theory of elasticity) and spin waves (Landau-Lifshitz equation). The magneto-elastic interactions will be included into Landau-Lifshitz equation be adding the additional term to effective field describing the magnetic fields induced by elastic – determined by the solution of the equations of theory of elasticity. The calculations will be performed with the aid of finite element method, plane wave method and discrete dipole method. The samples will originate from own resources or will be acquired from collaborating groups (third partners) which use the following techniques: electron-beam lithography and focused ion beam epitaxy. The topology of sample will be investigated using: polarization microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The spin wave and elastic wave spectra will be measured with the aid of: Brillouin spectrometer and vector network analyzer.

Expected impact of the research project on the development of science, civilization and society

The magnonics, based on spin wave excitations magnetic material, is a promising branch of technology used for signal processing, and transmission. The one of the main obstacles in the development of this field is damping of spin waves. Nowadays a lots of efforts is concentrated on reduction or on controlling of damping. It is especially important for sophisticated magnonic systems (like magnonic crystals) where the group velocity of spin waves is usually reduced. To achieve long range of spin wave propagation, we have to take spatial care about its life time and amplification of waves in such systems. Our research are focused on these issues. We plan to use elastic waves to amplify spin waves in magnonic nanostructures.

Research tasks

  • Theoretical and experimental investigation of the dispersion relation in phononic structures for selection of the most suitable systems for studies of magneto-elastic coupling
  • Numerical simulations and measurements of spin wave dispersion relations in magnonic crystals
  • Developing of theoretical methods and computational techniques for investigations of frequency spectra of magnonic-phononic structures with magneto-elastic coupling included
  • Exploitation of the magneto-elastic coupling in artificial crystals: investigation of the spin-waves (elastic waves) pumping by forced elastic waves (spin waves)
