Excitation and detection of coherent sub-terahertz magnons in ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic heterostructures

Abstract Excitation of coherent high-frequency magnons (quanta of spin waves) is critical to the development of high-speed magnonic devices. Here we computationally demonstrate the excitation of coherent sub-terahertz (THz) magnons in ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) thin films by a ph...
