Article Abstract
We report an experimental observation of magnon-magnon coupling in interlayer exchange coupled synthetic antiferromagnets of FeCoB/Ru/FeCoB layers. An anticrossing gap of spin-wave resonance between acoustic and optic modes appears when the external magnetic field points to the direction tilted from the spin-wave propagation. The magnitude of the gap (i.e., coupling strength) can be controlled by changing the direction of the in-plane magnetic field and also enhanced by increasing the wave number of excited spin waves. We find that the coupling strength under the specified conditions is larger than the dissipation rates of both the resonance modes, indicating that a strong coupling regime is satisfied. A theoretical analysis based on the Landau-Lifshitz equation shows quantitative agreement with the experiments and indicates that the anticrossing gap appears when the exchange symmetry of two magnetizations is broken by the spin-wave excitation.

In light of recent experimental data indicating a substantial thermal Hall effect in square lattice antiferromagnetic Mott insulators, we investigate whether a simple Mott insulator can sustain a finite thermal Hall effect. We verify that the answer is "no" if one performs calculations within a spin-only low-energy effective spin model with noninteracting magnons. However, by performing determinant quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we show the single-band t-t^{'}-U Hubbard model coupled to an orbital magnetic field does support a finite thermal Hall effect when t^{'}≠0 and B≠0 in the Mott insulating phase.

We investigate the nonlinear coupling between acoustic (ac) and optical (op) modes in the coupled magnetization dynamics of synthetic antiferromagnets, utilizing current-driven resonance spectroscopy. A clear spectral splitting is evident in the ac mode when strongly excited by the radio frequency current at a driving frequency half that of the op mode resonance. The Landau-Lifshitz phenomenology aligns with the experimental observations, affirming the coupling of the radio-frequency-excited ac and op modes through three-magnon mixing.

Copper(II) hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) offer a unique platform to explore magnetic interactions responsible for ferro- or antiferromagnetic order; yet, their potential for coherent magnon dynamics, a cornerstone of spintronic technologies, remains underdeveloped. Unlike conventional ferromagnets, the structural parameters influencing magnon generation, propagation, and control in HOIPs are poorly understood. Here, we engineer interlayer and intralayer exchange interactions in A-type Dion-Jacobson (DJ) phase Cu(II)-based HOIPs to achieve robust magnon-magnon coupling.

Harnessing spin currents to control magnon dynamics enables new functionalities in magnonic devices. Here, we demonstrate current-controlled magnon-magnon coupling between cavity and boundary modes in an ultrathin film of Bi-doped yttrium iron garnet (BiYIG). Cavity modes emerge in a BiYIG region between two Pt nanostripes, where interfacial anisotropy modifies the magnon dispersion.

Parametric amplification, where one signal is enhanced by the action of another, offers both practical utility for boosting weak signals and fundamental insights into the nonlinear coupling between degrees of freedom. In condensed matter systems, interactions between collective modes offer avenues for nonlinear coherent manipulation of coupled excitations and quantum phases. Antiferromagnets, with inherently coupled magnon modes, provide a promising platform for nonlinear control of spin waves and magnetization.
