Spin+Magnon: Spin excitations for information processing (B01)

• Subject Area: Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: since 2016
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 268565370

Project B01 makes use of the collective excitations of the spin system, the spin waves, to create new functionalities in the form of magnon circuits. In the focus are novel concepts which go beyond conventional and linear logic. To achieve this, nonlinear magnonic devices as well as devices with memory functionality will be realized using magnonic bistabilties and magnonic hysteresis. In addition, magnon-phonon coupling will be studied and functionalized in the nonlinear regime to create a new hybrid magnon-phonon platform for coherent wave-based data processing.
