Antiferromagnets have drawn much attention due to their unique properties and potential for interesting device applications. In analogy to a spin-1/2 system, antiferromagnetic magnon pairs can be described in terms of a magnonic pseudospin. Recently, first experimental observations of the associated dynamics
and the magnon Hanle effect have been reported and described using a 1D pseudospin transport model. Here, we discuss the effects of dimensionality on the magnon spin signal by studying insulating hematite (α-Fe2O3) films with varying thickness [1].
For both a thin and a thick film, we find a pronounced signal caused by the magnon Hanle effect. However, the magnonic spin signal exhibits clear differences in both cases. We extend the theoretical description by taking into account low-energy finite-spin magnons and use it to
explain our observations.
This provides deeper insight into the detailed understanding of magnonic pseudospin dynamics.
