Establishing an elemental structure that facilitates high-intensity broadband spin waves

A research team including Assistant Professor Taichi Goto of Toyohashi University of Technology has conducted simulations to demonstrate that using a substrate that combines the semiconductor silicon (Si) and the magnetic insulator yttrium iron garnet (YIG) can realize an element that facilitates excitation and detection of high-intensity broadband spin waves, even when miniaturized like chips. It is hoped that spin waves can be used in next-generation ultra-low energy consumption devices becaus...
