Twisted magnon frequency combs in ferromagnetic nanorings

We systematically investigate the emergence of twisted magnon frequency combs (tMFCs) and their higher-order modes arising from strong nonlinear coupling between vortex-core gyration and azimuthal spin-wave modes in ferromagnetic nanorings. The comb spacing is set by the gyrotropic frequency, which is controlled by both the size of the central hole and external magnetic fields. Remarkably, for the larger hole diameter (50 nm), an additional magnon mode emerges, leading to additional tMFC families. We also demonstrate that the selection rules still hold for different nanorings. In addition, the external in-plane magnetic field provides an effective means to tune the tMFC, while the response strongly depends on the nanostructure geometry. The nanodisk shows an approximately symmetric response under field reversal, whereas the response of nanorings depends strongly on the size of the central hole. For a small hole diameter (5 nm), the low-field response becomes asymmetric, and the tMFC spacing increases with field magnitude over the higher?field branches. A larger hole diameter (50 nm) raises the gyrotropic frequency, yielding a sparser sideband structure near the drive frequency. Our results show that ferromagnetic nanorings support geometrically and magnetically tunable tMFCs.

Helical Magnon Frequency Comb in Synthetic Antiferromagnetic Skyrmion Lattices

Synthetic antiferromagnetic skyrmion lattices (SAF-SkLs), consisting of two ferromagnetic SkLs coupled antiferromagnetically with compensated magnetization, provide a promising platform for robust nonlinear magnonics. Here, we investigate helical magnon frequency comb (HMFC) generation in a SAF-SkL by combining analytical modeling with micromagnetic simulations. We show that nonlinear coupling between helical magnon edge states and the skyrmion gyration produces frequency combs with pronounced edge localization. The HMFC exhibits strong enhancement exclusively when the driving frequency lies within the helical edge-state band, whereas the interior response remains negligible. This frequency selectivity confirms the essential role of helical edge modes in localized nonlinear frequency conversion. We further demonstrate that the interlayer antiferromagnetic coupling reconstructs the magnon spectrum, thereby tuning the comb spacing and the number of comb teeth while also redistributing modal energy. Our results establish SAF-SkLs as a tunable platform for edge-localized HMFCs and suggest a route toward robust coherent magnonic signal processing.
