Broadband spectroscopy and inelastic light scattering on the canted antiferromagnet hematite for antiferromagnetic magnonics

Mohammad Hamdi

Collective spin excitations propagating in magnetically ordered materials are called spin waves (SWs) or magnons. They are promising for low-power and beyond-CMOS information processing, which do not suffer from the ohmic losses. SWs in ferromagnets (antif ...

A universal route to efficient non-linear response via Thomson scattering in linear solids

Cheng Wang, Gabriel Aeppli, Joe Martin Bailey, Junjie Li, Min Chen, Ji Zhou

Non-linear materials are cornerstones of modern optics and electronics. Strong dependence on the intrinsic properties of particular materials, however, inhibits the at-will extension of demanding non-linear effects, especially those second-order ones, to w ...
