We find evidence for decaying magnons at strong magnetic field in the square lattice spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet. The results are obtained using Quantum Monte Carlo simulations combined with a Bayesian inference technique to obtain dynamics and are consistent with predictions from spin wave theory.

We use quantum Monte Carlo simulations and numerical analytic continuation to study high-energy spin excitations in the two-dimensional S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet at low temperature. We present results for both the transverse and longitudinal dynamic spin structure factor S(q,w) at q=(pi,0) and (pi/2,pi/2). Linear spin-wave theory predicts no dispersion on the line connecting these momenta. Our calculations show that in fact the magnon energy at (pi,0) is 10% lower than at (pi/2,pi/2). We also discuss the transverse and longitudinal multi-magnon continua and their relevance to neutron sc…
We present the perturbation theory for lattice magnon fields of $D$-dimensional O(3) Heisenberg ferromagnet. The effective Hamiltonian for the lattice magnon fields is obtained starting from the effective Lagrangian, with two dominant contributions that describe magnon-magnon interactions identified as a usual gradient term for the unit vector field and a part originating in the Wess-Zumino-Witten term of effective Lagrangian. Feynman diagrams for lattice scalar fields with derivative couplings are introduced, on basis of which we investigate the influence of magnon-magnon interactions on magn…
We report our density matrix renormalization-group and analytical work on S=1 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chains. We study the finite size behavior within the framework of the non-linear sigma model. We study the effect of magnon-magnon interactions on the finite size spectrum and on the magnetization curve close to the critical magnetic field, determine the magnon scattering length and compare it to the prediction from the non-linear $σ$ model.
We propose the existence of a symmetry-protected topological Dirac nodal line (DNL) magnonic phase in layered honeycomb collinear antiferromagnets even in the presence of spin-orbit Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. We show that the magnon spin Nernst effect, predicted to occur in strictly two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb collinear antiferromagnets cancels out in the layered honeycomb collinear antiferromagnets. In other words, the magnon spin Nernst effect in each 2D antiferromagnetic layer cancels out the succeeding layer. Hence, the Berry curvature vanish in the entire Brillouin zone due to …
Synthetic antiferromagnet, comprised of two ferromagnetic layers separated by a non-magnetic layer, possesses two uniform precession resonance modes: in-phase acoustic mode and out-of-phase optic mode. In this work, we theoretically and numerically demonstrated the strong coupling between acoustic and optic magnon modes. The strong coupling is attributed to the symmetry breaking of the system, which can be realized by tilting the bias field or constructing an asymmetrical synthetic antiferromagnet. It is found that the coupling strength can be highly adjusted by tuning the tilting angle of bia…
The low-temperature magnetic excitations of the two-dimensional spin-5/2 square-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet Rb2MnF4 have been probed using pulsed inelastic neutron scattering. In addition to dominant sharp peaks identified with one-magnon excitations, a relatively weak continuum scattering is also observed at higher energies. This is attributed to neutron scattering by pairs of magnons and the observed intensities are consistent with predictions of spin wave theory.
Within the Dyson-Maleev boson formalism, we study the zero-temperature magnon dispersions in a family of one-dimensional quantum Heisenberg ferrimagnets composed of two different spins $(S_1,S_2)$ in the elementary cell. It is shown that the spin-wave theory can produce precise quantitative results for the low-energy excitations. The spin-stiffness constant $ρ_s$ and the optical magnon gap $Δ$ of different $(S_1,S_2)$ ferrimagnetic systems are calculated, respectively, to second and third order in the quasiparticle interaction. The spin-wave results are compared with available numerical estima…
A quantitative description of magnons in long-range ordered quantum antiferromagnets is presented which is consistent from low to high energies. It is illustrated for the generic $S=1/2$ Heisenberg model on the square lattice. The approach is based on a continuous similarity transformation in momentum space using the scaling dimension as truncation criterion. Evidence is found for significant magnon-magnon attraction inducing a Higgs resonance. The high-energy roton minimum in the magnon dispersion appears to be induced by strong magnon-Higgs scattering.
Very recently Fonseca and Pires [Phys. Rev. B 73, 012403(2006)] have studied the soliton--magnon scattering for the isotropic antiferromagnet and calculated ``exact'' phase shifts, which were compared with the ones obtained by the Born approximation. In this Comment we correct both the soliton and magnon solutions and point out the way how to study correctly the scattering problem.
We investigate a microscopic origin of nonreciprocal magnon that is distinct from the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in a honeycomb antiferromagnet. The key ingredient is a symmetric anisotropic exchange interaction depending on the bond direction, which results in a valley-type nonreciprocal magnon excitations under the staggered antiferromagnetic ordering. Furthermore, we find this type of nonreciprocal magnon exhibits a peculiar magnetic-field response; the nonreciprocal direction can be manipulated by the in-plane rotating magnetic field. The obtained results can be accounted for the em…
We have extended our previous series studies of quantum antiferromagnets at zero temperature by computing the one-magnon dispersion curves and various structure factors for the linear chain, square and simple cubic lattices. Many of these results are new; others are a substantial extension of previous work. These results are directly comparable with neutron scattering experiments and we make such comparisons where possible.
We predict that spin-waves in an ordered quantum antiferromagnet (AFM) in a strong magnetic field become unstable with respect to spontaneous two-magnon decays. At zero temperature, the instability occurs between the threshold field $H^*$ and the saturation field $H_c$. As an example, we investigate the high-field dynamics of a Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a square lattice and show that the single-magnon branch of the spectrum disappears in the most part of the Brillouin zone.
In conventional quasi-one-dimensional antiferromagnets with quantum spins, magnetic excitations are carried by either magnons or spinons in different energy regimes: they do not coexist independently, nor could they interact with each other. In this Letter, by combining inelastic neutron scattering, quantum Monte Carlo simulations and Random Phase Approximation calculations, we report the discovery and discuss the physics of the coexistence of magnons and spinons and their interactions in Botallackite-Cu2(OH)3Br. This is a unique quantum antiferromagnet consisting of alternating ferromagnetic …
A number of topological phases are found to emerge in the ferromagnetic Kitaev-Heisenberg model on CaVO lattice in the presence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Heisenberg and Kitaev terms have been considered on nearest and next-nearest neighbor bonds in a variety of ways. Both isotropic and anisotropic couplings are taken into account. Topological phases are characterized by Chern numbers for the distinct magnon bands as well as the number of modes for topologically protected gapless magnon edge states. Band structure, dispersion relation along the high-symmetric points of first Brillou…
We present numerical evidence for the crystallization of magnons below the saturation field at non-zero temperatures for the highly frustrated spin-half kagome Heisenberg antiferromagnet. This phenomenon can be traced back to the existence of independent localized magnons or equivalently flat-band multi-magnon states. We present a loop-gas description of these localized magnons and a phase diagram of this transition, thus providing information for which magnetic fields and temperatures magnon crystallization can be observed experimentally. The emergence of a finite-temperature continuous trans…
We extend recently proposed variational coupled-cluster method to describe excitation states of quantum antiferromagnetic bipartite lattices. We reproduce the spin-wave excitations (i.e., magnons with spin $\pm 1$). In addition, we obtain a new, spin-zero excitation (magnon-density waves) which has been missing in all existing spin-wave theories. Within our approximation, this magnon-density-wave excitation has a nonzero energy gap in a cubic lattice and is gapless in a square lattice, similar to those charge-density-wave excitations (plasmons) in quantum electron gases.
We study the two-magnon non-resonant Raman scattering in the (pi,pi) and (pi,0) ordered antiferromagnetic phases of a J1x-J1y-J2-Jc Heisenberg model on the tetragonal lattice within the framework of the spin-wave theory. We discuss the effects of various tuning factors to the two-magnon Raman spectra. We find that both the magnetic frustration J2/J1 and the interlayer exchange coupling Jc may significantly affect the spectra in both the B1g and A1g' channels in the (pi,pi) Neel ordered phase. Moreover, we find a splitting of the two-magnon peak in the (pi,0) antiferromagnetic phase. We further…
We study two-magnon spectra in resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) from the Heisenberg antiferromanets by extending the formula of Nomura andIgarashi (Phys. Rev. B 71, 035110 (2005)). The core-hole potential in the intermediate state of RIXS gives rise to a change in the exchange coupling between 3d electrons, leading to an effective interaction between the core hole and spins of 3d electrons. We derive a formula suitable to calculate the two-magnon RIXS intensities, replacing the bare core-hole potential responsible to charge excitations by this effective interaction creating two magno…
We study irradiated two-dimensional insulating bilayer honeycomb ferromagnets and antiferromagnets coupled antiferromagnetically with a zero net magnetization. The former is realized in the recently synthesized bilayer honeycomb chromium triiodide CrI$_{\bf 3}$. In both systems, we show that circularly-polarized electric field breaks time-reversal symmetry and induces a dynamical Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in each honeycomb layer. However, the resulting bilayer antiferromagnetic system still preserves a combination of time-reversal and space-inversion ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetry. We show …
Here we report on the formation of two and three magnon bound states in the quasi-one-dimensional antiferromagnet $α$-NaMnO$_2$, where the single-ion, uniaxial anisotropy inherent to the Mn$^{3+}$ ions in this material provides a binding mechanism capable of stabilizing higher order magnon bound states. While such states have long remained elusive in studies of antiferromagnetic chains, neutron scattering data presented here demonstrate that higher order $n>2$ composite magnons exist, and, specifically, that a weak three-magnon bound state is detected below the antiferromagnetic ordering trans…
We study the nonlinear magnon spin current induced by an ac electric field under light irradiation in collinear antiferromagnets with broken inversion symmetry. For linearly polarized light, we find that a dc spin current appears through ``the magnon spin shift current" mechanism, which is driven by a spin polarization generation in the two magnon creation process and has a close relationship to the geometry of magnon bands through Berry connection. For circularly polarized light, a dc spin current appears through ``the spin injection current" mechanism, which is proportional to the relaxation…
We investigate two-magnon Raman scattering from the $S=1/2$ Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the triangular lattice, considering both the effect of renormalization of the one-magnon spectrum by 1/S corrections and final-state magnon-magnon interactions. The bare Raman intensity displays two peaks related to one-magnon van-Hove singularities. We find that 1/S self-energy corrections to the one-magnon spectrum strongly modify this intensity profile. The central Raman-peak is significantly enhanced due to plateaus in the magnon dispersion, the high frequency peak is suppressed due to magnon damping,…
Quantum decay of magnons in the unfrustrated honeycomb Heisenberg model
研究发现蜂窝晶格中磁子在K点附近完全衰减，源于强相互作用导致的束缚态和三磁子连续谱，推翻了磁子准粒子图象。
We propose a novel mechanism for exchange-induced exciton-magnon absorptions via hopping between two antiferromagnetically coupled sites and a simultaneous magnetic dipole transition to an excited orbital state. The obtained selection rules correspond to ones for magnetic dipole transitions and are in agreement with the exciton-magnon transitions observed in the quasi one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet KCuF3. The calculated magnon density of states in combination with a structure dependent factor identifies the observed optical magnon sideband to originate from transverse magnon modes.
The breakdown of magnons, the quasiparticles of magnetic systems, has rarely been seen. By using an inelastic neutron scattering technique we report the observation of spontaneous magnon decay in multiferroic LuMnO$_3$, a simple two-dimensional Heisenberg triangular lattice antiferromagnet, with large spin, S = 2. The origin of this rare phenomenon lies in the non-vanishing cubic interaction between magnons in the spin Hamiltonian arising from the noncollinear 120$^o$ spin structure. We observed all three key features of the nonlinear effects as theoretically predicted: a roton-like minimum, a…
Inhomogeneous strain applied to lattice systems can induce artificial gauge fields for particles moving on this lattice. Here we demonstrate how to engineer a novel state of matter, namely an antiferromagnet with a Landau-level excitation spectrum of magnons. We consider a honeycomb-lattice Heisenberg model and show that triaxial strain leads to equally spaced pseudo-Landau levels at the upper end of the magnon spectrum, with degeneracies characteristic of emergent supersymmetry. We also present a particular strain protocol which induces perfectly quantized magnon Landau levels over the whole …
We present a comprehensive study of strain-induced topological magnon phase transitions in insulating three-dimensional (3D) topological chiral antiferromagnets on the kagome-lattice. We show that by applying (100) uniaxial strain, 3D insulating antiferromagnetic Weyl magnons (WMs) manifest as an intermediate phase between a strain-induced 3D magnon Chern insulator (MCI) with integer Chern numbers and a 3D trivial magnon insulator with zero Chern number. In addition, we show that strain suppresses the topological thermal Hall conductivity of magnons in these systems. Due to the similarity betw…
We consider the spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the two-dimensional square-kagome lattice with almost dispersionless lowest magnon band. For a general exchange coupling geometry we elaborate low-energy effective Hamiltonians which emerge at high magnetic fields. The effective model to describe the low-energy degrees of freedom of the initial frustrated quantum spin model is the (unfrustrated) square-lattice spin-1/2 $XXZ$ model in a $z$-aligned magnetic field. For the effective model we perform quantum Monte Carlo simulations to discuss the low-temperature properties of the squa…
We study the nontrivial linear magnon band crossings in the collinear antiferromagnets on the two-dimensional (2D) CaVO lattice, also realized in some iron-based superconductors such as AFe$_{1.6+x}$Se$_2$ (A = K, Rb, Cs). It is shown that the combination of space-inversion and time-reversal symmetry ($\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry) leads to doubly-degenerate eight magnon branches, which cross each other linearly along a one-dimensional loop in the 2D Brillouin zone. We show that the Dirac nodal loops (DNLs) are not present in the collinear ferromagnet on this lattice. Thus, the current 2D antiferrom…
The low-energy physics of antiferromagnets is governed by their Goldstone bosons -- the magnons -- and it is described by a low-energy effective field theory. In analogy to baryon chiral perturbation theory, we construct the effective field theory for magnons and holes in an antiferromagnet. It is a systematic low-energy expansion based on symmetry considerations and on the fact that the holes are located in pockets centered at k=(pi/2a,\pm pi/2a). Even though the symmetries are extracted from the Hubbard model, the effective theory is universal and makes model-independent predictions about th…
Hexagonal HoMnO3, a two-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet, has been studied via inelastic neutron scattering. A simple Heisenberg model with a single-ion anisotropy describes most features of the spin-wave dispersion curves. However, there is shown to be a renormalization of the magnon energies located at around 11 meV. Since both the magnon-magnon interaction and magnon-phonon coupling can affect the renormalization in a noncollinear magnet, we have accounted for both of these couplings by using a Heisenberg XXZ model with 1=S expansions [1] and the Einstein site phonon model [13], respe…
Frustrated quantum magnets not only provide exotic ground states and unusual magnetic structures, but also support unconventional excitations in many cases. Using a physically relevant spin model for a breathing pyrochlore lattice, we discuss the presence of topological linear band crossings of magnons in antiferromagnets. These are the analogs of Weyl fermions in electronic systems, which we dub Weyl magnons. The bulk Weyl magnon implies the presence of chiral magnon surface states forming arcs at finite energy. We argue that such antiferromagnets present a unique example in which Weyl points…
Spin-waves e.g. magnons are the conventional elementary excitations of ordered magnets. However, other possibilities exist. For instance, magnon bound-states can arise due to attractive magnon-magnon interactions and drastically impact the static and dynamic properties of materials. Here, we demonstrate a zoo of distinct multi-magnon quasiparticles in the frustrated spin-1 triangular antiferromagnet FeI$_2$ using time-domain terahertz spectroscopy. The energy-magnetic field excitation spectrum contains signatures of one-, two-, four- and six-magnon bound-states, which we analyze using an exact…
Topological magnon insulators in insulating Kagomé ferromagnets have been extensively studied in a series of papers. It has been established that Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) is the key ingredient to observe a nontrivial topological magnon with edge modes. However, insulating antiferromagnets on the Kagomé lattice are frustrated systems considered as a playground for studying quantum spin liquid physics. In these systems the DMI can induce a coplanar but noncollinear magnetic orders with a $\mathbf{q}=0$ propagating wavevector. We show that topological magnon bands are absent in thi…
We calculate the two-magnon Raman scattering spectra in antiferromagnetic phases of several frustrated spin models defined on the honeycomb lattice. These include the Néel antiferromagnetic phase of a $J_1$-$J_2$-$J_3$ model and the stripe phase of the Heisenberg-Kitaev model. We show that both the magnetic frustration and the anisotropy of interactions may significantly affect the Raman spectra. We further discuss the implications of our results to the magnetic excitations of the iron-based compound BaFe$_2$Se$_2$O and show how the magnetic interactions can be extracted from fit to the Raman …
The energy spectrum of the two-magnon bound states in the Heisenberg-Ising antiferromagnet on the square lattice are calculated using series expansion methods. The results confirm an earlier spin-wave prediction of Oguchi and Ishikawa, that the bound states vanish into the continuum before the isotropic Heisenberg limit is reached.
We propose a versatile approach to treat commonly arising constraints. It is illustrated for interacting magnons of the Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a square lattice. For systems of $L\times L$ sites a non-perturbative continuous unitary transformation (CUT) is used to derive an effective Hamiltonian conserving the number of magnons. They are bosonic particles with a hardcore constraint which is captured by a local, repulsive interaction U. The limits $U\to\infty$ and $L\to\infty$ are achieved by extrapolation. The residual spin gap $Δ_1$ is smaller than 0.01J reflecting the gapless nature of…
We derive higher-order corrections in the magnon dispersion relations for two- and three-dimensional antiferromagnets exposed to magnetic and staggered fields that are mutually aligned. "Dressing" the magnons is the prerequisite to separate the low-temperature representation of the pressure into a piece due to noninteracting magnons and a piece that corresponds to the magnon-magnon interaction. Both in two and three spatial dimensions, the interaction in the pressure turns out to be attractive. While concrete figures refer to the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ square-lattice and the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ sim…
Interacting topological magnons in the Kitaev-Heisenberg honeycomb ferromagnets with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction

Various versions of the Bethe ansatz are suggested for evaluation of scattering two-magnon states in 2D and 3D Heisenberg-Ising ferromagnets. It is shown that for 2D square (3D qubic) finite-periodic or infinite lattices about a half (3/4) of states have a correctly 2D- (3D-) generalized Bethe form. The remaining scattering states are treated (on the infinite lattices only) within the degenerative discrete-diffractive modification of the Bethe ansatz previously suggested by the author.
Nuclear spin-lattice relaxation in one-dimensional Heisenberg ferrimagnets is studied by means of a modified spin-wave theory. We consider the second-order process, where a nuclear spin flip induces virtual spin waves which are then scattered thermally via the four-magnon exchange interaction, as well as the first-order process, where a nuclear spin directly interacts with spin waves via the hyperfine interaction. We point out a possibility of the three-magnon relaxation process predominating over the Raman one and suggest model experiments.
Transport currents in solids decay through collisions of quasiparticles with each other and with defects or boundaries. Since information about collisional lifetimes is difficult to obtain, most calculations of transport properties rely on parameters that are not known independently. Here, we use magnon lifetime data for the two-dimensional antiferromagnet Rb2MnF4 to calculate the magnon-mediated thermal conductivity without any adjustable parameters, thereby quantifying the influence of scattering from domain boundaries on transport. Related strategies have the potential to enhance our unders…
Excited states of spin-chains play an important role in condensed matter physics. We present a method of calculating the single magnon excited states of the Heisenberg spin-chain that can be efficiently implemented on a quantum processor for small spin chains. Our method involves finding the stationary points of the energy vs wavenumber curve. We implement our method for 4-site and 8-site Heisenberg Hamiltonians using numerical techniques as well as using an IBM quantum processor. Finally, we give an insight into the circuit complexity and scaling of our proposed method.
Using a functional renormalization group approach we show that at low temperatures and in a certain range of magnetic fields the longitudinal dynamic structure factor of quantum Heisenberg ferromagnets in dimensions $D\leq 2$ exhibits a well-defined quasi-particle peak with linear dispersion that we identify as zero-magnon sound. In $D>2$ the larger phase space available for the decay into transverse spin waves leads only to a broad hump centered at zero frequency whose width scales linearly in momentum.
CuCrO2 is a manifestation of a two-dimensional triangular antiferromagnet which exhibits an incommensurate noncollinear magnetic structure similar to a classical 120 degree ordering. Using the inelastic neutron scattering technique, direct evidence of a magnon-phonon coupling in CuCrO2 is revealed via the mixed magnon-phonon character of the excitation mode at 12.5 meV as well as a minimum at the zone boundary. A simple model Hamiltonian that incorporates an exchange striction type magnon-phonon coupling reproduces the observed features accurately. Also, continuum excitations originating from …
The thermal conductivity of the antiferromagnet Nd$_2$CuO$_4$ was measured down to 50 mK. Using the spin-flop transition to switch on and off the acoustic Nd magnons, we can reliably separate the magnon and phonon contributions to heat transport. We find that magnons travel ballistically below 0.5 K, with a thermal conductivity growing as $T^3$, from which we extract their velocity. We show that the rate of scattering of acoustic magnons by phonons grows as $T^3$, and the scattering of phonons by magnons peaks at twice the average Nd magnon frequency.
We study the exchange between electron and magnon spins at the interface of an antiferromagnet and a heavy metal at finite temperatures. The underlying physical mechanism is based on spin torque associated with the creation/annihilation of thermal magnons with right-hand and left-hand polarization. The creation/annihilation process depends strongly on the relative orientation between the polarization of the electron and the magnon spins. For a sufficiently strong spin transfer torque (STT), the conversion process becomes nonlinear, generating a nonzero net spin pumping current in the AFM that …
The long-range forces between holes in an antiferromagnet are due to magnon exchange. The one-magnon exchange potential between two holes is proportional to cos(2ϕ)/r^2 where r is the distance vector of the holes and ϕis the angle between r and an axis of the square crystal lattice. One-magnon exchange leads to bound states of holes with antiparallel spins resembling d-wave symmetry. The role of these bound states as potential candidates for the preformed Cooper pairs of high-temperature superconductivity is discussed qualitatively.
Strong coupling between magnon and electromagnetic wave can lead to the formation of a coupled spinphoton quasiparticle named as magnon-polariton. The phenomenon is well studied for ferromagnetic systems inside microwave cavities in recent years. However, formation of magnon-polariton is rarely seen for an antiferromagnet (AFM) because the strong coupling condition is not easily fulfilled. Here we present time-domain terahertz measurement on a multiferroic polar antiferromagnet Fe2Mo3O8. We find clearly beating between two modes at frequencies above and below the electric-active magnon frequen…
A high-resolution neutron spectroscopic technique is used to measure momentum-resolved magnon lifetimes in the prototypical two- and three-dimensional antiferromagnets Rb2MnF4 and MnF2, over the full Brillouin zone and a wide range of temperatures. We rederived theories of the lifetime resulting from magnon-magnon scattering, thereby broadening their applicability beyond asymptotically small regions of wavevector and temperature. Corresponding computations, combined with a small contribution reflecting collisions with domain boundaries, yield excellent quantitative agreement with the data.
We generalize the concept of the spin-momentum locking to magnonic systems and derive the formula to calculate the spin expectation value for one-magnon states of general two-body spin Hamiltonians. We give no-go conditions for magnon spin to be independent of momentum. As examples of the magnon spin-momentum locking, we analyze a one-dimensional antiferromagnet with the Néel order and two-dimensional kagome lattice antiferromagnets with the 120$^\circ$ structure. We find that the magnon spin depends on its momentum even when the Hamiltonian has the $z$-axis spin rotational symmetry, which can…
We demonstrate theoretically that the thermal Hall effect of magnons in collinear antiferromagnetic insulators is an indicator of magnetic and topological phase transitions in the magnon spectrum. The transversal heat current of magnons caused by a thermal gradient is calculated for an antiferromagnet on a honeycomb lattice. An applied magnetic field drives the system from the antiferromagnetic phase via a spin-flop phase into the field-polarized phase. Besides these magnetic phase transitions we find topological phase transitions within the spin-flop phase. Both types of transitions manifest …
We theoretically study the interaction of magnons, quanta of spin waves, and a domain wall in a one-dimensional easy-axis antiferromagnet in the presence of an external magnetic field applied along the easy axis. To this end, we begin by obtaining the exact solution for spin waves in the background of a domain wall magnetized by an external field. The finite magnetization inside the domain wall is shown to give rise to reflection of magnons scattering off the domain wall, deviating from the well-known result of reflection-free magnons in the absence of a magnetic field. For practical applicati…
We use the spin functional renormalization group recently developed by two of us [J. Krieg and P. Kopietz, Phys. Rev. B $\bf{99}$, 060403(R) (2019)] to calculate the magnetization $M ( H , T )$ and the damping of magnons due to classical longitudinal fluctuations of quantum Heisenberg ferromagnets. In order to guarantee that for vanishing magnetic field $H \rightarrow 0$ the magnon spectrum is gapless when the spin rotational invariance is spontaneously broken, we use a Ward identity to express the magnon self-energy in terms of the magnetization. In two dimensions our approach correctly predi…
We propose a method of controlling a quantum logic gate in a solid-state NMR quantum computer. A switchable inter-qubit coupling can be generated by using the longitudinal component of the Suhl-Nakamura interaction induced by a local singlet-triplet excitation in a 1-D antiferromagnet with a spin gap.

This Topical Review presents an overview of the recent experimental results on the quantitative determination of the magnetic exchange parameters in ultrathin magnetic films and multilayers, grown on different substrates. The experimental approaches to probe both the symmetric Heisenberg as well as the antisymmetric Dzyaloshinskii--Moriya exchange interaction in ultrathin magnetic films and at interfaces are discussed in detail. It is explained how the experimental spectrum of magnetic excitations can be used to quantify the strength of these interactions.
By electron or hole doping quantum antiferromagnets may turn into high-temperature superconductors. The low-energy dynamics of antiferromagnets are governed by their Nambu-Goldstone bosons -- the magnons -- and are described by an effective field theory analogous to chiral perturbation theory for the pions in strong interaction physics. In analogy to baryon chiral perturbation theory -- the effective theory for pions and nucleons -- we construct a systematic low-energy effective theory for magnons and electrons or holes in an antiferromagnet. The effective theory is universal and makes model-i…
