Using a set of wave-vector-specific multielement antennas, we have characterized the dispersion of spin waves in an yttrium iron garnet film at submicron lengths and resolved the dispersion relations of multiple backward volume modes, particularly in the region of their minima. The techniques developed now facilitate the characterization of spin waves at length scales limited only by available lithography and at a spectral resolution that generally exceeds that of Brillouin scattering. The data obtained are in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions based on a model Hamiltonian.

Because of their ultrafast intrinsic dynamics and robustness against stray fields, antiferromagnetic insulators1–3 are promising candidates for spintronic components. Therefore, long-distance, low-dissipation spin transport and electrical manipulation of antiferromagnetic order are key research goals in antiferromagnetic spintronics. Here, we report experimental evidence of robust spin transport through an antiferromagnetic insulator, in our case the gate-controlled state that appears in charge-neutral graphene in a magnetic field4–6. Utilizing quantum Hall edge states as spin-dependent injectors and detectors, we observe large, non-local electrical signals across charge-neutral channels that are up to 5 μm long. The dependence of the signal on magnetic field, temperature and filling factor is consistent with spin superfluidity1,2,4,7–10 as the spin-transport mechanism. This work demonstrates the utility of graphene in the quantum Hall regime as a powerful model system for fundamental studies in antiferromagnetic spintronics.

Domain walls in magnetic thin films display a complex dynamical response when subject to an external drive. It is claimed that different dynamic regimes are correlated with the domain-wall roughness, i.e., with the fluctuations of domain-wall position due to the inherent disorder in the system. Therefore, key to understanding the dynamics of domain walls is to have a statistically meaningful measure of the domain-wall roughness. Here we present a thorough study of the roughness parameters, i.e., roughness exponent and roughness amplitude, for domain walls in a ferrimagnetic GdFeCo thin film in the creep regime. Histograms of roughness parameters are constructed with more than 40 independent realizations under the same experimental conditions, and the average values and standard deviations are compared in different conditions. We found that the most prominent feature of the obtained distributions is their large standard deviations, which is a signature of large fluctuations. We show that even if the roughness parameters for a particular domain wall are well known, these parameters are not necessarily representative of the underlying physics of the system. In the low field limit, within the creep regime of domain-wall motion, we found the average roughness exponent and roughness amplitude to be around 0.75 and 0.45 μm2, respectively. When an in-plane magnetic field is applied we observed that, even though the distributions are wide, changes in the mean values of roughness parameters can be identified; the roughness exponent decreasing to values around 0.72 while the roughness amplitude increases to 0.65 μm2. Our results call for a careful consideration of statistical averaging over different domains walls when reporting roughness exponents.

The crystal orientation of an exfoliated black phosphorous flake is determined by purely electrical means. A sequence of three resistance measurements on an arbitrarily shaped flake with five contacts determines the three independent components of the anisotropic in-plane resistivity tensor, thereby revealing the crystal axes. The resistivity anisotropy ratio decreases linearly with increasing temperature T and carrier density reaching a maximum ratio of 3.0 at low temperatures and densities, while mobility indicates impurity scattering at low T and acoustic phonon scattering at high T.

Enhancing light-matter interactions on a chip is of paramount importance to study nano- and quantum optics effects and for the realisation of integrated devices, for instance, for classical and quantum photonics, sensing and energy harvesting applications. Engineered nano-devices enable the efficient confinement of light and, ultimately, the control of the spontaneous emission dynamics of single emitters, which is crucial for cavity quantum electrodynamics experiments and for the development of classical and quantum light sources. Here, we report on the demonstration of enhanced light-matter interaction and Purcell effects on a chip, based on bio-inspired aperiodic devices fabricated in silicon nitride and gallium arsenide. Internal light sources, namely optically-active defect centers in silicon nitride and indium arsenide single quantum dots, are used to image and characterize, by means of micro-photoluminescence spectroscopy, the individual optical modes confined by photonic membranes with Vogel-spiral geometry. By studying the statistics of the measured optical resonances, in partnership with rigorous multiple scattering theory, we observe log-normal distributions and report quality factors with values as high as 2201±443. Building on the strong light confinement achieved in this novel platform, we further investigate the coupling of single semiconductor quantum dots to the confined optical modes. Our results show cavity quantum electrodynamics effects providing strong modifications of the spontaneous emission decay of single optical transitions. In particular, thanks to the significant modification of the density of optical states demonstrated in Vogel-spiral photonic structures, we show control of the decay lifetime of single emitters with a dynamic range reaching 20. Our findings improve the understanding of the fundamental physical properties of light-emitting Vogel-spiral systems, show their application to quantum photonic devices, and form the basis for th
