Magnon-polaron transport in magnetic insulators — •Benedetta Flebus — University of Texas at Austin, Austin, USA

In this talk, I will introduce the anomalous features in the magnetic field and temperature dependence of the spin Seebeck effect observed by Kikkawa et al. [PRL 117, 207203 (2016)] and explain how they can be interpreted as a signature of magnon-polaron transport.

Specifically, I will discuss how magnetoelastic coupling between magnetic moments and lattice vibrations in ferromagnets can gives rise to magnon-polarons, i.e., hybridized magnon and phonon modes. I will derive a Boltzmann transport theory for the mixed magnon-phonon modes and show that magnon-polaron formation can lead to transport anomalies when the disorder scattering in the magnetic and elastic subsystems is sufficiently different.
