Spin waves, as carriers of information in magnetic materials, hold great potential for information transmission and storage. However, the spin wave signals are generally weak, limiting both detection and practical application. Herein, we report a Raman spectroscopy study of the interference-enhanced Raman scattering (IERS) on the spin wave signal in nickel oxide (NiO) nanosheets on the SiO/Al substrate. In addition, we compared the spin wave signals from NiO nanosheets of varying thicknesses. The observed Raman signal enhancements are quantitatively and theoretically described by using the multiple reflection model (MRM). Our results show that the enhancement of the two-magnon (2M) signal represents the spin wave excitation, which is in strong agreement with the interference-enhanced theoretical result. This work provides important insight and a valuable approach for the enhanced detection of spin waves, supporting future development and application of spintronic technologies.

Controlling spin currents, that is, the flow of spin angular momentum, in small magnetic devices, is the principal objective of spin electronics, a main contender for future energy-efficient information technologies. A pure spin current has never been measured directly because the associated electric stray fields and/or shifts in the non-equilibrium spin-dependent distribution functions are too small for conventional experimental detection methods optimized for charge transport. Here we report that resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) can bridge this gap by measuring the spin current carried by magnons-the quanta of the spin wave excitations of the magnetic order-in the presence of temperature gradients across a magnetic insulator.

We address the problem of identifying a 2+1D topologically ordered phase using measurements on the ground-state wave function. For nonchiral topological order, we describe a series of bulk multipartite entanglement measures that extract the invariants ∑_{a} d_{a}^{2}θ_{a}^{r} for any r≥2, where d_{a} and θ_{a} are the quantum dimension and topological spin of an anyon a, respectively. These invariants are obtained as expectation values of permutation operators between 2r replicas of the wave function, applying different permutations on four distinct regions of the plane.
