Strong photon-magnon coupling using a lithographically defined organic ferrimagnet*

We demonstrate a cavity-magnonic system composed of a superconducting microwave resonator coupled to a magnon mode hosted by the organic-based ferrimagnet vanadium tetracyanoethylene (V[TCNE]_x). This work is motivated by the challenge of scalably integrating a low-damping magnetic system with planar superconducting circuits. We take advantage of the properties of V[TCNE]_x, which has ultra-low intrinsic damping, can be grown at low processing temperatures on arbitrary substrates, and can be patterned via electron beam lithography. Our devices operate in the strong coupling regime, with a cooperativity exceeding 1000 for coupling between the Kittel mode and the resonator mode at T∼0.4 K, suitable for scalable quantum circuit integration. Higher-order magnon modes are also observed with much narrower linewidths than the Kittel mode. This work paves the way for high-cooperativity hybrid quantum devices in which magnonic circuits can be designed and fabricated as easily as electrical wires.
