Abstract

Spin pumping in nonmagnetic/ferromagnetic metal multilayers is studied both theoretically and experimentally. We show that the line widths of the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectrum depend on the thickness of the ferromagnetic metal layers, which must not be in resonance with the oscillating magnetic field. We also show that the penetration depths of the transverse spin current in ferromagnetic metals can be determined by analyzing the line widths of their FMR spectra. The obtained penetration depths in NiFe, CoFe and CoFeB were 3.7 [nm], 2.5 [nm] and 12.0 [nm], respectively.

Gapped out-of-phase plasmon modes in alternating-twist multilayer graphene

We theoretically investigate the plasmon modes of alternating-twist multilayer graphene. In multilayer systems, interlayer coupling gives rise to distinctive plasmon modes, but calculations in moiré systems remain challenging due to their complex tunneling structures. Using the Kac-Murdock-Szegő Toeplitz formalism, we derive that the in-phase mode exhibits the conventional $\sqrt{q}$ behavior, while the out-of-phase modes acquire plasmon gaps determined by specific interband transitions between Dirac cones with different velocities in the long-wavelength limit. We demonstrate that these out-of-phase modes remain undamped in the weak Coulomb-interaction limit when the twist angle exceeds a critical value ($θ\gtrsim 2.75^\circ$ for the alternating-twist trilayer case), regardless of the carrier density as long as the low-energy effective Dirac Hamiltonian remains valid. Furthermore, we consider the effect of a perpendicular electric field, and demonstrate how plasmon modes can be tuned by a gate voltage.

Optical properties of hydrogenated graphene superlattices

We investigate with first principles theoretical methods optical response accounting for excitonic effects of quasi-one dimensional monolithic arrays of graphene nanostripes -- two-dimensional graphene superlattices, where quasi-metallic and dielectric regions alternate by selective hydrogenation of graphene. It is shown that chemical engineering of the graphene surface can lead to strong and well-isolated absorption peaks in the far-infrared and possibly even terahertz frequencies. The band gap scaling suggests no excitonic insulators.

Topological signatures in the curvature-induced energy response

Relativistic effective field theory predicts a topological energy response to a gravitational field that appears at third order in spatial gradients. Here, we investigate how this response emerges in the nonrelativistic Haldane model using a microscopic lattice formulation of curvature-induced deformations. We find that the leading first-order energy response is nonuniversal and depends on the bond-resolved structure of the deformation; in particular, it vanishes for a symmetric modulation of the three nearest-neighbor hoppings. At third order, the curvature-induced energy response contains a bond-symmetric component together with nonuniversal bond-dependent contributions. The bond-symmetric component, which is isolated by a uniform modulation of the three hoppings, exhibits a universal discontinuity across the topological transition whose magnitude agrees with the relativistic gravitational Chern--Simons prediction. Thus, although the full curvature-induced energy response generally contains nonuniversal lattice contributions, its third-order response retains a universal topological component beyond the relativistic limit.
