摘要:

我们提出了一个可以解析求解的最小模型,用于描述磁绝缘体中低频磁子弛豫过程,该过程源于磁子-声子和磁子-磁子相互作用。该模型建立了微观弛豫过程与Gilbert阻尼之间的直接联系,并揭示了磁子衰减如何从体材料发展到单层极限。我们发现磁子-声子耦合在三维和二维磁体中产生大小相当的Gilbert阻尼,自由单层中的弯曲声子与三维基底支持层中的声子在定性上有差异。相比之下,由于四磁子散射引起的非Gilbert阻尼在二维中显著增强,其中它变得与自旋轨道耦合无关。为了将模型与真实材料进行基准测试,我们引入了一种从头计算自旋哈密顿量中计算磁子阻尼的数值方法。我们证明了该模型的核心结论在体YIG磁子和单层范德瓦尔斯磁绝缘体CrSBr磁子中仍然成立。

英文摘要:

We present an analytically solvable minimal model for the relaxation of low-frequency magnons in magnetic insulators arising from magnon-phonon and magnon-magnon interactions. The model establishes a direct connection between microscopic relaxation processes and Gilbert damping, and reveals how magnon decay evolves from bulk systems to the monolayer limit. We find that magnon-phonon coupling produces Gilbert damping of comparable magnitude in three- and two-dimensional magnets, with qualitative differences between flexural phonons in free-standing monolayers and three-dimensional phonons in substrate-supported layers. By contrast, non-Gilbert damping due to four-magnon scattering is strongly enhanced in two dimensions, where it becomes independent of spin-orbit coupling. To benchmark the model against real materials, we introduce a numerical approach for computing magnon damping from ab initio-derived spin Hamiltonians. We demonstrate that the central conclusions of the model remain valid for magnons in bulk YIG and several van der Waals magnetic insulators: CrSBr, CrI3 and CrPS4.
