Anomalous coherent and dissipative coupling in dual photon-magnon hybrid resonators

Abstract We explored the distinctive behavior of coherent and dissipative photon-magnon coupling (PMC) in dual hybrid resonators, each incorporating an Inverted Split-Ring Resonator (ISRR) paired with a Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) film, positioned in close proximity but with varying relative split-gap orientations. These orientations led to notable shifts in the dispersion spectra, characterized by level repulsion and attraction, signaling coherent and dissipative coupling, respectively, in single ISRR/YIG hybrids at certain orientations. Through analytical modeling, we determined that the observed shifts in coupling types are primarily due to the effect of photon-photon (ISRR-ISRR) interactions altering the phase difference between the coupled ISRR and magnon modes. Our findings highlight that precise manipulation of the relative split-gap orientations in the ISRR resonators enables controlled coherent and dissipative coupling within planar PMC systems. This capability opens new avenues for applications in quantum information technologies and quantum materials

Annealing effect of sputter-grown Pt/Ni80Fe20/Pt sandwich trilayer films on Gilbert damping

The annealing effect of Pt/Permalloy(Py: Ni80Fe20)/Pt sandwich trilayer films on Gilbert damping was investigated through ferromagnetic resonance, x-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements. We estimated the variation of the effective Gilbert damping constant with 30-min-post-annealing temperature in the range of T-a=600-800K. The damping constant for the as-grown sample was estimated to be alpha (eff)=0.021, but it linearly increased with T-a until 700K and then drastically increased by 4.5 times up to alpha (eff)=0.093 at T-a=800K. Delicate analyses of the XRD and TEM data revealed that the damping constant in such a thin-layered structure is closely related to the structural characteristics of the interfaces and atomic intermixing through them. The linear increase in alpha (eff) in the range of T-a=650-700K was ascribed to the alloying/intermixing effect between the Pt and Py layers through both interfaces, whose effect was found to be related to the degradation of the Pt (111) texture. Meanwhile, in the range of T-a=750-800K, alpha (eff) further and rapidly increased relative to the values in the range of T-a=650-700K. Specifically, the 800-K-post-annealed sample showed that its damping constant was 4.5 times larger than that of the as-grown sample, its saturation magnetization decreased by similar to 54%, and also that new stoichiometric compounds such as NiPt, FePt, and NiFePt appeared. TEM equipped with energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy also revealed that T-a gives rise to atomic intermixing between the Pt and Py thin layers through both interfaces, resulting in interface shifting. This work provides the means to control the Gilbert damping constant and better to understand complex multi-layered structures in potential spintronic devices.Y
