Double accumulation and anisotropic transport of magneto-elastic bosons in yttrium iron garnet films
2021
Interaction between quasiparticles of a different nature, such as magnons and phonons in a magnetic medium, leads to the mixing of their properties and the formation of hybrid states in the areas of intersection of individual spectral branches. We recently reported the discovery of a new phenomenon mediated by the magnon-phonon interaction: the spontaneous bottleneck accumulation of magneto-elastic bosons under electromagnetic pumping of pure magnons into a ferrimagnetic yttrium iron garnet film. Here, by studying the transport properties of the accumulated magneto-elastic bosons, we reveal that such accumulation occurs in two frequency-distant groups of quasiparticles: quasi-phonons and quasi-magnons. They propagate with different speeds in different directions relative to the magnetization field. The theoretical model we propose qualitatively describes the double accumulation effect, and the analysis of the two-dimensional spectrum of quasiparticles in the hybridization region allows us to determine the wavevectors and frequencies of each of the groups.
