Fractional parametric resonance in spintronic diodes

Parametric pumping is a powerful tool for the excitation, amplification, and processing of oscillations and waves of different nature. In general, parametric resonance can occur when the pumping frequency $f_p$ and eigenfrequency of a linear mode (or wave) $f_0$ satisfy the relation $f_p$=2$f_0$/n (n=1,2,3,...). While such parametric resonance is well known in mechanical, superconductive, and quantum systems, in magnetic and spintronic systems only the lowest (n=1) parametric resonance at double the spin wave mode frequency $f_p$=2$f_0$ was thoroughly studied and explored. Here, using a theoretical analysis based on both micromagnetic simulations and an analytical model, we show the emergence of resonances at fractional frequencies $f_p$=2$f_0$/n (with n>10) in spintronic diodes driven by the simultaneous action of ac spin-transfer torque (STT, current densities < $10^6$ A/cm2) and voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy (VCMA, effective anisotropy fields < 50 mT). The analytical model shows that parametric magnetization dynamics is irreducible to the standard Mathieu model of a parametric oscillator and demonstrates the crucial role of VCMA-driven mode frequency modulation: together with parametric coupling, it results in higher-order odd (n=3,5,7,...) fractional resonances, observed above certain VCMA pumping threshold, while simultaneous action with linear STT drive produces thresholdless even (n=4,6,8,...) resonances. This higher-order parametric dynamics is not restricted to VCMA pumping and opens new directions for the application of spintronic diodes for nonlinear signal processing and electromagnetic energy harvesting.

Brillouin Light Scattering Spectroscopy of Propagating Magnons at Sub-Kelvin Temperatures

Coupling light to magnetic excitations in the form of spin waves underpins both the optical study of magnetism and emerging schemes for quantum transduction, positioning the quanta of these excitations, magnons, as promising carriers for hybrid quantum networks. However, exploiting them in the quantum regime requires millikelvin temperatures to suppress thermal magnon populations, thereby confining such experiments to dilution refrigerators. There, magnons can already be excited and read out electrically, yet an optical interface required for microwave-to-optical photon conversion has been missing. Here, we demonstrate the first optical detection of coherently driven, propagating spin waves via Brillouin Light Scattering (BLS) spectroscopy inside a dilution refrigerator. By simultaneously recording the optical and electrical responses of the same spin-wave mode in a yttrium iron garnet film, we find that the BLS spectra track the electrically measured transmission across a range of applied magnetic fields. For the lowest optical power of 7.9 {\mu}W that still enabled spin-wave detection, we measured a global equilibrium sample temperature of 510 mK via a resistance thermometer, while numerical modelling of the laser-induced heating yields a maximum local temperature of 900 mK at the focal spot. This brings free-space optical access to magnons into the sub-kelvin regime, representing a milestone towards magnon-mediated quantum transduction in hybrid quantum systems.

True random number generation through stochastic magnonic bistability

True random number generators (TRNGs) underpin modern cryptography, yet existing implementations face fundamental trade-offs between speed, scalability, and entropy quality. Here, we demonstrate that stochastic switching in the bistable regime of spin-wave dynamics provides a physical entropy source for high-quality random number generation. Our magnonic random number generator (mRNG), based on a lithography-patterned microstrip on yttrium iron garnet (YIG), exploits thermal fluctuations near the nonlinear bistable regime to generate random bitstreams that pass all 15 NIST SP 800-22 statistical tests at rates with 20 Mb/s. We implement a random-bit multiplier using synchronized mRNG units and demonstrate scalability to 200-nm-wide nanoscale waveguides, establishing spin-wave bistability as a viable physical entropy source for integrated random number generation.

Long-range propagating paramagnon-polaritons in organic free radicals

Materials are commonly distinguished by their magnetic response into diamagnetic, paramagnetic, and magnetically ordered (ferro-, ferri-, and antiferromagnetic) phases. Diamagnets and paramagnets lack spontaneous long-range order, whereas ordered magnets develop such order below their Curie or N\'eel temperature and support single spin-wave excitations (magnons). Magnons have found applications in radio-frequency technologies and computation, magneto-optics, and foundational quantum experiments. Above the Curie/N\'eel temperature, long-range order is lost and the material transitions to a paramagnetic phase, with localised spin alignment in small patches, producing paramagnons with only short-range propagation. Here we show that long-range coherence is preserved in the organic free radical 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl above the N\'eel temperature using all-electrical propagating spin-wave spectroscopy in external magnetic fields. We observe coherently excited low-energy paramagnon-polaritons up to $\mathbf{23\,\mathrm{GHz}}$ , propagating over $\mathbf{8\,\mathrm{mm}}$ at supersonic group velocities exceeding $\mathbf{100\,\mathrm{km\,s^{-1}}}$. Using free radicals as magnon carriers integrates organic materials with spintronics and opens the way to organic electronics, dense information storage, and quantum technologies.

Wavenumber-dependent magnetic losses in YIG-GGG heterostructures at millikelvin temperatures

Magnons have inspired potential applications in modern quantum technologies and hybrid quantum systems due to their intrinsic nonlinearity, nanoscale scalability, and a unique set of experimentally accessible parameters for manipulating their dispersion. Such magnon-based quantum technologies demand long decoherence times, millikelvin temperatures, and minimal dissipation. Due to its low magnetic damping, the ferrimagnet yttrium iron garnet (YIG), grown on gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG), is the most promising material for this objective. To comprehend the magnetic losses of propagating magnons in such YIG-GGG heterostructures at cryogenic temperatures, we investigate magnon transport in a micrometer-thick YIG sample via propagating spin-wave spectroscopy (PSWS) measurements for temperatures between 4K to 26mK. We demonstrate an increase in the dissipation rate with wavenumber at cryogenic temperatures, caused by dipolar coupling to the partially magnetized GGG substrate. Additionally, we observe a temperature-dependent decrease in spin-wave transmission, attributed to rare earth ion relaxations. The critical role of the additional dissipation channels at cryogenic temperatures is underpinned by the comparison of the experimental results with theoretical calculations and micromagnetic simulations. Our findings strengthen the understanding of magnon losses at millikelvin temperatures, which is essential for the future detection of individual propagating magnons.

The set of limits of Riemann integral sums of a multifunction and Banach space geometry

Let $X$ be a Banach space and $F: [0, 1] \rightarrow 2^{X} \setminus \{ \varnothing \}$ be a bounded multifunction. We study properties of the set $I(F)$ of limits in Hausdorff distance of Riemann integral sums of $F$. The main results are: (1) $I(F)$ is convex in the case of finite-dimensional $X$; (2) $I(F) = I(\operatorname{conv} F)$ in B-convex spaces or for compact-valued multifunctions; (3) $I(F)$ consists of convex sets whenever $X$ is B-convex; (4) $I(F)$ is star-shaped (thus non-empty) for compact-valued multifunctions in separable spaces. (5) For each infinite-dimensional Banach space there is a bounded multifunction with empty $I(F)$.
