  • 磁子(自旋波能量子)具有自旋而没有电荷,基于磁子设计的磁子器件不会产生焦耳热,避免了电子器件因焦耳热导致的高能耗这一难以解决的问题。微波天线是激发自旋波的一种简单且有效的手段,然而对于给定的微波天线,其只能在一个很窄的频率范围内有效激发自旋波,因此,自旋波的高效宽频激发仍是磁子器件中的一个关键问题。本文提出了一种在自旋转移力矩辅助下实现自旋波宽频高效率微波激发的方法。理论分析和微磁学模拟结果表明:自旋波的激发效率高度依赖激发天线宽度和激发频率,自旋波只能在一个很窄的频率范围内高效激发;引入自旋极化电流诱导的自旋转移力矩并调控电流密度,可以在很宽的频率范围内高效激发自旋波。我们采用波的干涉理论很好地解释了这些现象,理论分析结果与模拟结果高度吻合。这些结果对设计新型的磁子器件有重要的参考价值。

    Magnon possess spin without electric charge, thus magnonic device can avoid the high energy consumption caused by Joule heat in electronic devices. Microwave antenna is one of the simple and effective means to excite spin waves. However, for a given microwave antenna, it can only excite spin waves in a very narrow frequency range, and there is a obvious excitation forbidden band. Therefore, the efficient wideband excitation of spin waves remains a key issue in magnonic devices. This article proposes a method for achieving wideband and high-efficiency excitation of spin waves with spin-transfer torques (STT) assistance. Theoretical analysis and simulation results of micro-magnetism show that the excitation efficiency of spin waves is highly dependent on the width of excitation antenna and excitation frequency, and the spin waves can only be excited efficiently in a narrow frequency range. The STT is introduced and the current density is modulated, which can effectively excite the spin waves that is difficult to excite before, and realize the efficient excitation of spin waves in a wide frequency range. We use the wave interference theory to explain these phenomena, and the theoretical analysis results are highly consistent with the simulation results. This method of improving the excitation efficiency and bandwidth of spin waves is not only suitable for microstrip antenna excitation, but also for some other excitation methods. At the same time, the study also found that STT can lead to asymmetric excitation of spin waves. The STT not only has a positive significance in the excitation of spin waves, but also has certain reference value for interference regulation, coherent spin waves generation, and unidirectional transmission of spin waves. This method is more reliable than those that directly use multi-antenna or multi-pulse to excite coherent spin waves, and the manipulation of phase difference is simpler and more accurate, and it is more efficient and adaptable than some unidirectional transmission using non-reciprocity. These results have important reference significance for the excitation and propagation control of spin waves, and provide a new idea for the design of new magnonic devices.
