First Realization of an Electric Circuit with a Magnetic Insulator using Spin Wave

 

This was first deemed impossible. Apps include: novel, energy-efficient electronic devices, particularly integrated circuits. A spin wave is caused by a perturbation of local magnetisation direction in a magnetic material. Such a perturbation is caused by an electron with an opposite spin, relative to the magnetisation. Spin waves transmit these perturbations in the material. This research demonstrates for the first time that it is possible to transmit electric signals in an insulating material.

So far, electrical circuits based on spin waves have not been realised, since it turned out to be impossible to introduce a perturbation in the system large enough to create spin waves...
