Orbital angular momentum offers a new channel for information transport in a vast set of materials. Its coherent generation and detection remain, however, largely unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that chiral surface acoustic waves (SAWs)…
Steering of magnetic nano-/microhelices by a rotating magnetic field is considered as a promising technique for controlled navigation of tiny objects through viscous fluidic environments. It has been recently demonstrated that simple…
We numerically study the acoustic parametric amplification of spin waves using surface acoustic waves (SAW) in a magnetic thin film. First, we illustrate how the process of parametric spin-wave generation using short-waved SAWs with a fixed…
Acousto-electric charge conveyance induced by a surface acoustic wave is employed to dissociate photogenerated excitons. Over macroscopic distances, both electrons and holes are injected \emph{sequentially} into a remotely positioned,…
We investigate the magnetic domain wall (DW) dynamics in uniaxial/biaxial nanowires under a thermal gradient (TG). The findings reveal that the DW propagates toward the hotter region in both nanowires. The main physics of such observations…
Phonon cavities are believed to be the next step towards a control of dephasing in semiconductor quantum dot `qubits'. In this paper, we discuss two models for phonon cavities - a surface acoustic wave (SAW) inter-digitated transducer on an…
Unlike classical heat diffusion at the macroscale, nanoscale heat transport can occur without energy dissipation because phonons can travel in straight lines for hundreds of nanometres. Despite recent experimental evidence of such ballistic…
A surface acoustic wave (SAW) can produce a moving potential wave that can trap and drag electrons along with it. We review work on using a SAW to create moving quantum dots containing single electrons, with the aims of developing a current…
Suppressing phonon propagation in nanowires is an essential goal towards achieving efficient thermoelectric devices. Recent experiments have shown unambiguously that surface roughness is a key factor that can reduce the thermal conductivity…
A method is advanced allowing for fast regulation of magnetization direction in magnetic nanosystems. The examples of such systems are polarized nanostructures, magnetic nanomolecules, magnetic nanoclusters, magnetic graphene, dipolar and…
Surface acoustic wave (SAW) propagation is a powerful method to investigate 2D electron systems. We show how SAW observables are influenced by coupling to the 2D massless Dirac electrons of graphene and argue that Landau oscillations can be…
We study the pump current and noise properties in an adiabatically modulated magnetic nanowire with double domain walls (DW). The modulation is brought about by applying a slowly oscillating magnetic and electric fields with a controllable…
We report on the resonant excitation of spin waves in micro-structured magnetic thin films by surface acoustic waves (SAWs). The spin waves as well as the acoustic waves are studied by micro-focused Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy.…
We derive boundary conditions at the interfaces of magnetoelastic heterostructures under ferromagnetic resonance for arbitrary magnetization directions and interface shapes. We apply our formalism to magnet$\vert$nonmagnet bilayers and…
The spin wave transportation through a transverse magnetic domain wall (DW) in a magnetic nanowire is studied. It is found that spin wave passes through a DW without reflection. A magnon, the quantum of the spin wave, carries opposite spins…
We use both theory and experiment to study the response of {\it partially wetting} films of water and surfactant solutions to a propagating MHz vibration in the solid substrate in the form of a Rayleigh surface acoustic wave (SAW). The SAW…
Interdigitated transducers were used to generate and detect surface acoustic waves on a thin layer of (Ga,Mn)(As,P). The out-of-plane uniaxial magnetic anisotropy of this dilute magnetic semiconductor is very sensitive to the strain of the…
A method for deterministic control of the magnetic order parameter using an electrical stimulus is highly desired for the new generation of spintronic and magnetoelectronic devices. Much effort has been focused on magnetic domain-wall…
The dependence of the velocity of surface acoustic wave (SAW) as a function of an external applied magnetic field is investigated in a Fe thin film epitaxially grown on a piezoelectric GaAs substrate. The SAW velocity is observed to…
We employ a millimeter-scale piezoelectric acoustic actuator, which generates MHz-frequency surface acoustic waves (SAWs) in a solid substrate, to actively coat a drop of water by a macroscopic film of silicon oil as a paradigm for a small…
