Magnetic twisting in an artificial ferrimagnet: Anisotropic magnetoresistance on Py/Gd/Py/Gd/Py/SiNx multilayers

The intensive study of non-collinear magnets promotes an urgent demand for the quantitative characterization of the non-collinear magnetic structures, which host numerous exotic phenomena. Here we systematically study the non-collinear magnetic structure of an artificial ferrimagnetic multilayer. The AMR measurements reveal two distinct twisted states whose magnetic structures can be quantitatively characterized with the assistance of micromagnetic simulations. Our results manifest AMR as an ideal probe of the non-collinear magnetic structure in artificial ferrimagnets.

Switching magnon chirality in artificial antiferromagnet

Magnons in antiferromagnets can support both right-handed and left-handed chiralities, which shed a light on the chirality-based spintronics. Here we demonstrate the switching and reading of magnon chirality in an artificial antiferromagnet. The coexisting antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic characteristic resonance modes are discovered, which permits a high tunability in the modulation of magnon chirality. The reading of the chirality is accomplished via the chirality-dependent spin pumping as well as spin rectification effect. Our result illustrates an ideal antiferromagnetic platform for handling magnon chirality and paves the way for chirality-based spintronics.
