1306.1658 (José Pablo Baltanás et al.)

Theory of carrier-mediated magnonic superlattices    [PDF]

José Pablo Baltanás, Diego Frustaglia
We present a minimal one-dimensional model of collective spin excitations in itinerant ferromagnetic superlattices within the regime of parabolic spin-carrier dispersion. We discuss the cases of weakly and strongly modulated magnetic profiles finding evidences of antiferromagnetic correlations for long-wave magnons, specially significant in layered systems. In addition, the presence of local minima in the magnonic dispersion suggests the possibility of (thermal) excitation of spin waves with a relatively well controlled wave length. Some of these features could be experimentally tested in DMS superlattices based on thin doped magnetic layers, acting as natural interfaces between (spin)electronic and magnonic degrees of freedom.
