Article Abstract
Non-collinear antiferromagnets, such as MnSn, stand out for their topological properties and potential in antiferromagnetic spintronics. This emerging field aims at harnessing ultrafast magnetization dynamics of antiferromagnets through spin torques. Here we report the time-resolved dynamics of MnSn on a picosecond timescale, driven by an optically induced spin current pulse. Our results reveal that the magnetization of MnSn tilts immediately after the spin current pulse and subsequently undergoes 70 GHz precession. This immediate tilting underscores the predominant role of damping-like torque stemming from spin current absorption by MnSn. We also determine the spin coherence length of MnSn to be approximately 15 nm. This value substantially exceeds that of ferromagnets, highlighting a distinct spin-dephasing process in non-collinear antiferromagnets. Our results hold promise for ultrafast applications of non-collinear antiferromagnets and enrich our understanding of their spin-transfer physics.

Non-collinear antiferromagnetic materials exhibit extraordinary physical phenomena, showing great potential in high-density and low-power spintronic devices. Here, three sets of high-quality non-collinear antiferromagnetic MnGe films were fabricated by controlling the thermodynamic growth conditions, enabling the modulation of spin orientations within the Kagome lattice. The spin-oriented Kagome lattices with inverse triangular magnetic orders break the hexagonal symmetry in two different crystal planes of [202̅0] and [0002] orientations.

Magnetism plays a crucial role in advanced technologies and fundamental materials science. Among various magnetic materials, compounds incorporating rare earth elements with non-collinear magnetic orders have garnered significant attention. In this study, we investigate different magnetic orders in Pr(Ni, Pt)Bi compounds using density functional theory (DFT), incorporating the Hubbard on-site interaction for the Pr atom.

While recent advancements in spin manipulation have utilized topological insulators and non-collinear antiferromagnets confined to two-dimensional films, dimensional limitations have hindered the realization of truly freestanding spin-dependent quantum nanodevices (nm). Here, we exploit a robust vertical exchange bias confined within core-shell FePt@MnO nanoparticles ( ∼ 9 nm) to control the spin decoherence time of Fe and Mn magnetic atoms. The magnitude (approximately 17% of interfacial spins are fully pinned) and robustness (the pinned spins remain stable even under a negative field of -5 T) of this anomalous exchange bias arise from a coherent interface where strain-induced lattice distortion displaces Mn cations by ångström-scale distances from their equilibrium positions, aligning them with Fe cations.

Nanoscale electrostatic control of oxide interfaces enables physical phenomena and exotic functionalities beyond the realm of the bulk material. In technologically-relevant ferroelectric thin films, the interface-mediated polarization control is usually exerted by engineering the depolarizing field. Here, in contrast, we introduce polarizing surfaces and lattice chemistry engineering as an alternative strategy.

Antiferromagnetic MnGe with a non-collinear Kagome structures present exciting prospects for exploring Berry curvature driven anomalous Hall effects. Despite substantial progress in bulk systems, the synthesis of crystalline thin films directly on silicon with a hexagonal phase presents a particular challenge unless a buffer layer is employed. In this study, we report the synthesis of single phase c-plane oriented hexagonal MnGe(0001) films on Si(100) using pulsed laser deposition.
