Plasmons & Magnons: Collective excitations of charge and spin — •Robert Stamps — SUPA School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK

An overview of basic concepts essential for understanding GHz and THz excitations in magnetic spin and plasmonic systems will be presented. The talk will provide an introduction to spin waves in magnetic insulators and metals. Methods of generating and detecting magnetic spin excitations will be surveyed, and the interaction of optical light with magnetic materials will be discussed. A similar overview of how plasmons propagate in films and at surfaces will be presented, including a summary of how plasmons can be excited and observed. Lastly, some of the issues involved in considering possibilities for plasmon-magnonics will be highlighted and reviewed.
