B42.00001: Electronic Relaxation Rates in Clean Metalic Ferromagnets James Amarel, Dietrich Belitz, Theodore Kirkpatrick In clean metallic ferromagnets at asymptotically low temperature the magnon-exchange contribution to the single-particle and transport relaxation rates is exponentially suppressed due to the exchange gap [1]. The power-law prefactor of the exponential term is difficult to determine since the gap provides an energy scale in addition to the temperature. To answer this question we present an asymptotically exact evaluation of the Kubo formula. Our solution also clarifies the relation between the integral equation inherent in the Kubo formula and the Boltzmann equation. |

B42.00002: Latent state in time-resolved nonlinear magnon scattering in thin films Tao Qu, Aneesh Venugopal, James M. Etheridge, Paul Crowell, Randall H. Victora The physics of nonlinear magnon scattering has been exploited in nonlinear microwave devices for wireless and satellite communication applications. The latent state, which is the time delay in the response to a microwave pulse, is required to be reduced for fast information communication. We have studied the latent state in time-resolved nonlinear magnon scattering in thin films, in both theory and experiment. The experiment is performed using phase-sensitive time-resolved heterodyne ferromagnetic resonance. The theory is a hybrid time-resolved model which uses an analytical equation of motion based on the Holstein-Primakoff transformation, and realistic micromagnetic simulation, in order to capture the magnon number change caused by the scattering. From the experiment, we find the latent state is a function of power, frequency, and material properties, which indicates the delay time scale is tunable by specific design. The origin of the latent state is the magnon redistribution, in that the uniform magnon mode (wavevector k=0) takes time to scatter into non-uniform magnon modes k≠0, which is reflected in the time-resolved magnon number of these modes. |

B42.00003: A semi-analytical approach for studying the dynamics of magnetic vortices with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions Carla Quispe Flores, Karen Livesey, Kristen S. Buchanan The magnetic vortex provides a convenient system to investigate the effects of the Dzyaloshinskii Moriya interactions (DMIs) on the dynamics of patterned magnetic structures in confined geometries. Here we introduce a Landau-Lifshitz based diagonalization (LLD) method to calculate the effects of the DMI on radial-type modes in circular disks. The LLD method is a semi-analytical approach which diagonalize the magnetostatic kernel, exchange and DMI contributions to extract the system eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes. Our calculations show that the DMI leads to a frequency shift that is comparable to what is observed for extended films, however, only the down-shifted mode is observed. The excitation amplitudes are enhanced near the core and the structure edges, and modes with even symmetry that would normally be suppressed for a spatially uniform excitation field are present. |

B42.00005: Local spin current probe of the global electrodynamics of ultrathin magnetic heterostructure electrofoils David Mayes, Maxwell Grossnickle, Mark I Lohmann, Junxue Li, Vivek Aji, Jing Shi, Justin Song, Nathaniel Gabor Spin current - the flow of angular momentum mediated by electrons - is a unique probe of non-trivial phases in ultrathin magnetic heterostructures. Electron spin, however, is highly sensitive to nearby electric and magnetic fields; thus, it is important to characterize nonlocal effects in spintronic devices. The high spin-orbit coupling of platinum in conjunction with ferrimagnetic insulator Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) provides an optimal platform for evaluating spin current as a robust probe. Here, we demonstrate the first technique capable of imaging the electric field using spin current as a local probe in Pt/YIG magnetic heterostructures. An imaging laser produces a localized thermal gradient that generates an out-of-plane spin current. In the Pt layer, this spin current scatters electrons in-plane and away from the external magnetic field, producing moving charges which interact with the local electric flux to generate a global voltage that we image in space. Electrofoil Pt/YIG devices, made with airfoil-shaped cutouts, are used to study several subtle nonlocal geometric effects, all of which are well described by the Shockley-Ramo theorem. |

B42.00006: On the Field Dependence of Spin-Lattice Relaxation Johan Van Tol Spin Lattice Relaxation (T1) and spin-spin electron spin relaxation processes (T2) are of importance for a variety of applications, like quantum information processing, quantum memory, spin cooling, and dynamic nuclear polarization. We studied the temperature dependence of the relaxation in the high magnetic field regime for a variety of paramagnetic spin systems. High frequency pulsed electron spin resonance at various fields and frequencies in the 3-14 T range was used to measure directly in the time domain. The low-temperature direct single-phonon spin lattice relaxation is found to have a strong field dependence (B2-B4) in the high frequency/field regime. A comparison is made between transition metal impurities in crystals, donor-bound electrons in semiconductors, and other systems of interest to quantum information processing. In spite of their small spin-orbit coupling, organic radicals in frozen solutions also show a marked field dependence of T1. This is of importance to dissolution- and solid state dynamical nuclear polarization (DNP) for NMR and MRI studies. The experimental results are compared with existing theoretical models. |

B42.00008: Nonclassical magnetization reversal by quantum spin torque of many-electron pulse: A time-dependent density matrix renormalization group study Marko Petrovic, Petr Plechac, Adrian Feiguin, Branislav Nikolic Using the time-dependent density matrix renormalization group (tDMRG) method, we study nonclassical effects in the spin-transfer torque (STT) exerted by the spin-polarized electron current on a one-dimensional quantum Heisenberg ferromagnetic chain. Unlike standard STT induced dynamics of magnetization viewed as a classical vector of fixed length, quantum STT allows for the establishment of quantum entanglement between spins. Magnetization reversal driven by quantum STT is nonclassical in the sense that no rotation from its initial state occurs. We extend the findings of Ref. [1], which dealt with single electron wave packets impinging onto many quantum spins. In contrast, the tDMRG method allows us to tackle a problem of many quantum electrons coupled to many quantum spins. The quantum local spins, initially oriented along the negative z-axis, undergo a reversal into the positive z-axis direction after interaction with the spin-up polarized current. |

B42.00009: Efficient Method for the Simulation of high-temperature Spin Dynamics Grigorii Starkov, Boris Fine The measurements of nuclear free induction decays (FIDs) can be used to extract microscopic information about solids such as the distances between nuclear spins or electronic spin susceptibility. At the same time, the first-principles calculation of solid FIDs, which is important for such an extraction, is a long-standing problem. |

B42.00010: Physical realization of complex dynamical pattern formation in magnetic spinwave active feedback rings Justin Anderson, Praveen Janantha, Diego Alcala, Mingzhong Wu, Lincoln Carr We report the clean experimental realization of cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau physics in a single driven, damped system. Five numerically predicted categories of complex dynamical behavior and pattern formation are identified for bright and dark solitary waves propagating around an active magnetic thin film feedback ring: (1) periodic breathing; (2) recurrence; (3) spontaneous spatial shifting; (4) intermittency; and (5) interactions of multiple solitary waves. These non-transient, long lifetime behaviors are observed in microwave spinwave envelopes circulating within a dispersive, nonlinear Yttrium-Iron-Garnet wave guide operating in a ring geometry where net losses are directly compensated for via linear amplification on each round trip (~100 ns). The behaviors exhibit periods ranging from 10s to 1000s of round trip times (~ 1 ms) and are stable for 1000s of periods (~1 s). We find these dynamical behaviors span the experimentally accessible ranges of attractive cubic nonlinearity, dispersion, and external field strength that support the self-generation of backward volume spinwaves in a four-wave mixing regime. |

B42.00012: Mechanism for a chemical potential of nonequilibrium magnons in parametric parallel pumping Naoya Arakawa I present a new theory of parametric parallel pumping for a ferrimagnet and demonstrate a mechanism by which a chemical potential of nonequilibrium magnons is generated [1]. In the parametric parallel pumping, two magnetic fields parallel to each other are used; one is static, and the other is time-periodic. By using this pumping, we can achieve a nonequilibrium state in which the magnon distribution function is approximated by the Bose distribution function with a finite chemical potential. However, its mechanism has been unclear. In this talk, I will discuss how nonequilibrium magnons in the parametric parallel pumping acquire a finite chemical potential [1]. |

B42.00013: Generalized magnetoelectronic circuit theory and spin memory loss Alexey Kovalev, Giovanni Baez Flores, Kirill Belashchenko, Mark Schilfgaarde Spin transport at metallic interfaces is an essential ingredient of various spintronic device concepts, such as giant magnetoresistance, spin-transfer torque, spin-orbit torque, spin Hall magnetoresistance, and spin pumping. Spin-orbit coupling plays an important role in many such devices. In particular, spin current is partially absorbed at the interface due to spin-orbit coupling. Here, we develop a general magnetoelectronic circuit theory and generalize the concept of spin mixing conductance accounting for various mechanisms responsible for spin-flip scattering . For the case when exchange interactions dominate, we give a simple expressions for the spin mixing conductance in terms of contributions responsible for spin memory loss, spin torque, and spin precession, where all contributions are amenable to ab initio treatment. We observe that in general there is no straightforward relation between the spin torque part and the spin memory loss part, where the latter is often expressed in terms of the spin loss parameter, δ. |
