Nonreciprocal coherent coupling of nanomagnets by exchange spin waves

Nanomagnets are widely used to store information in non-volatile spintronic devices. Spin waves can transfer information with low-power consumption as their propagations are independent of charge transport. However, to dynamically couple two distant nanomagnets via spin waves remains a major challenge for magnonics. Here we experimentally...

Excitation of unidirectional exchange spin waves by a nanoscale magnetic grating

Magnon spintronics is a prosperous field that promises beyond-CMOS technology based on elementary excitations of the magnetic order that act as information carriers for future computational architectures. Unidirectional propagation of spin waves is key to the realization of magnonic logic devices. However, previous efforts to enhance the...

Spin Caloritronic Phenomena Driven by Spin-orbit Coupling

In this thesis, we report several effects in spintronics and spin caloritronics related to relativistic spin-orbit coupling. In Chapter 2, we discuss the relativistic spin caloritronicHall effects in terms of a semiclassical theory for anomalous thermoelectric effects in ferromagnetic metals due to spin-orbit scattering at impurities, including...
