Article Abstract
We investigate the effects of interfacial oxidation on the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, magnetic damping, and spin-orbit torques in heavy-metal (Pt)/ferromagnet (Co or NiFe)/capping (MgO/Ta, HfO, or TaN) structures. At room temperature, the capping materials influence the effective surface magnetic anisotropy energy density, which is associated with the formation of interfacial magnetic oxides. The magnetic damping parameter of Co is considerably influenced by the capping material (especially MgO) while that of NiFe is not. This is possibly due to extra magnetic damping via spin-pumping process across the Co/CoO interface and incoherent magnon generation (spin fluctuation) developed in the antiferromagnetic CoO. It is also observed that both antidamping and field-like spin-orbit torque efficiencies vary with the capping material in the thickness ranges we examined. Our results reveal the crucial role of interfacial oxides on the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, magnetic damping, and spin-orbit torques.

In this work, we investigate how the crystallographic growth direction influences spin current transmission in antiferromagnetic (AF) NiO thin films. By manipulating epitaxial growth, we explored the spin transport characteristics in LaSrMnO/NiO/Pt heterostructures grown on top of (001)- and (111)-oriented SrTiO substrates, varying the NiO barrier thickness (t). Spin currents were generated via spin pumping (SP), and detection was done by the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE).

Precise control of coupling strength, damping rate and nonreciprocity in photon-magnon systems is essential for advancing hybrid quantum technologies, including reconfigurable microwave components and quantum transducers. Here, we demonstrate magnetic field angle-dependent control of photon-magnon coupling and magnon dissipation in a cross-shaped microwave cavity supporting a spatially nonuniform radio-frequency (rf) magnetic field. By rotating the external magnetic field angle θ relative to the normal of the transmission line within the cavity plane, we simultaneously control the coherent coupling strength [Formula: see text], the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) damping rate, and the system's nonreciprocal response.

We present a two-loop field-theoretic analysis of incompressible helical magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) in fully developed stationary turbulence. A key feature of helical MHD is the appearance of an infrared-unstable "masslike" term in the loop diagrams of the magnetic response function. Physically, this term corresponds to the relevant perturbation of the Joule damping, proportional to ∇×b (b= magnetic field).

This work demonstrates the long-distance transmission of a squeezed state, where we utilize a cavity-magnonic system composed of a cascaded cavity and a yttrium iron garnet sphere. The squeezed source, originating from a flux-driven Josephson parametric amplifier, is mediated through six cavity modes and ultimately transmitted to magnon mode.
