Spin+Transport: Dynamic control of spin transport (A10)

• Subject Area: Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: from 2016 to 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 268565370

In this project, theoretical predictions and analysis of state-of-the-art control of spin transport are investigated. The main focus will be on magnons in low-damping ferromagnetic materials like YIG, which have a great potential for future information technologies, but are also a prototypical model system for many-body behavior due to their long coherence times and versatile tuning possibilities. This project will go beyond mainstream calculations by considering coherent magnon states under time-dependent driving using Floquet theory. We will provide calculations for local time-periodic potentials, which have the capacity to become effective and highly tunable tools to manipulate transport.
