Twisting and tweezing the spin wave: on helical waves, and the magnonic spiral phase plate — •Alexander F.

Spin waves are the low-energy excitations of magnetically ordered materials. They are key elements in the stability analysis of the ordered phase and have a wealth of technological applications. Recently[1], we showed that spin waves of a magnetic nanowire may carry a definite amount of orbital angular momentum components along the propagation direction. This helical, in addition to the chiral, character of the spin waves is related to the spatial modulations of the spin wave phase across the wire. It, however, remains a challenge to generate and control such modes with conventional magnetic fields. Therefore, we propose a magnetic heterostructure that acts as a magnetic spiral phase plate by appropriately synthesizing two magnetic materials that have different speeds of spin waves[2]. In this contribution, we discuss the key features of helical spin waves and demonstrate the functionality of the magnonic spiral phase plate with micromagnetic simulations.
