Direct observation of exchange anisotropy in the helimagnetic insulator Cu2OSeO3

Arnaud Magrez, Jonathan White, Priya Ranjan Baral

The helical magnetic structures of cubic chiral systems are well explained by the competition among Heisen-berg exchange, Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, cubic anisotropy, and anisotropic exchange interaction (AEI). Recently, the role of the latter has ...

Reconfigurable nonreciprocal excitation of propagating exchange spin waves in perpendicularly magnetized yttrium iron garnet thin films

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Haiming Yu, Peng Chen

We report the nonreciprocal excitation of propagating forward volume exchange spin waves in yttrium iron garnet (YIG) thin film with perpendicular anisotropy by bringing the in-plane magnetization of Co20Fe60B20 (CoFeB) nanowires to resonance. All-electric ...

Large Orbital Moment of Two Coupled Spin-Half Co Ions in a Complex on Gold

Stefano Rusponi, Chao Li, Boris Sorokin

The magnetic propertiesof transition-metal ions aregenerallydescribed by the atomic spins of the ions and their exchange coupling.The orbital moment, usually largely quenched due the ligand field,is then seen as a perturbation. In such a scheme, S = 1/2 io ...

Maple leaf antiferromagnet in a magnetic field

Frédéric Mila, Ronny Thomale, Pratyay Ghosh

We analyze the quantum antiferromagnet on the maple leaf lattice in the presence of a magnetic field. Starting from its exact dimer ground state and for a magnetic field strength of the order of the local dimer spin-exchange coupling, we perform a strong-c ...

Magnetic structure of the two-dimensional XY antiferromagnet Sr2CoSi2O7 studied using single-crystal neutron diffraction

Bálint Náfrádi

We report a combined polarized and unpolarized neutron diffraction study on a multiferroic Sr2CoSi2O7 (SCSO) single crystal below and above the antiferromagnetic ordering temperature TN = 6.5 K. Unpolarized neutron diffraction measurements at 15 K confirm ...

Spin wave spectra of single crystal CoPS3

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Luc Testa

The spin waves in single crystals of the layered van der Waals antiferromagnet CoPS3 have been measured using inelastic neutron scattering. The data show four distinct spin wave branches with large (>14 meV) energy gaps at the Brillouin zone center indicat ...

Ab initio theory of magnetism in two-dimensional 1T-TaS2

Oleg Yazyev, Diego José Pasquier

We investigate, using a first-principles density functional methodology, the nature of magnetism in monolayer 1T phase of tantalum disulfide (1T-TaS2). Magnetism in the insulating phase of TaS2 is a longstanding puzzle and has led to a variety of theoretic ...

Magneto-optical study of metamagnetic transitions in the antiferromagnetic phase of alpha-RuCl3

Zhe Wang

alpha-RuCl3 is a promising candidate material to realize the so far elusive quantum spin liquid ground state. However, at low temperatures, the coexistence of different exchange interactions couple the effective pseudospins into an antiferromagnetically zi ...

Long Spin Lifetime in Rare-Earth Single-Atom Magnets at Surfaces

Boris Sorokin

Further miniaturisation of magnetic storage devices requires an advent of new types of magnets, since classical ferromagnetic materials show lack of remanence at nano- and subnanoscale. A single atom can represent the smallest possible bit of information. ...
