Spin+Magnon-Control: Controlling interactions between magnons and plasmons (B07)

Subject Area Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
Term from 2016 to 2019
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 268565370
 

Project Description

Project B07 investigates the emergent properties due to interactions between two collective excitations: plasmons (induced by optical near fields) and magnons. First, the influence of the magnetic field and the presence of a magnetic material on plasmonic excitations in metallic magneto-plasmonic heterostructures will be studied. Second, plasmon-magnon interactions will be realized by exploiting the possibility of surface plasmons to focus light at the nano-scale, and by engineering magnon spectra through nano-patterning techniques.
