Anisotropic transport of spontaneously accumulated magneto-elastic bosons in yttrium iron garnet films — •Alexander A. Serga — Fachbereich Physik and Landesforschungszentrum OPTIMAS, Technische Universität Kaiserslautern, 67663 Kaisersalutern, Germany

It is well known that bosonic quasiparticles as excitons, polaritons or magnons are able to spontaneously form Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). However, interactions between quasiparticles of a different nature, for example, between magnons and phonons, can significantly alter their properties and, thus, modify the condensation scenarios.

Here, I present a novel condensation phenomenon mediated by the magnon-phonon interaction: a bottleneck accumulation of hybrid magneto-elastic bosons—magnon polarons. Similar to the magnon BEC, the phenomenon is observed in a microwave-driven single-crystal ferrimagnetic film. However, unlike BEC, which is a consequence of equilibrium Bose statistics, the bottleneck accumulation is determined by varying interparticle interactions. Furthermore, the accumulated quasiparticles possess a nonzero group velocity. Our recent 2D transport measurements show the simultaneous formation of a few distinct magnon-polaron groups, which propagate in film plane as spatially localized beams with different group velocities. The role of the magneto-elastic anisotropy in the beam formation and interaction of the accumulated quasiparticles with the magnon BEC are discussed.
