Detection and Control of Propagating Magnons in vdW Antiferromagnets

In recent years, spin-based information processing has emerged as a powerful candidate for tunable and energy-efficient computation. This in turn has increased the demand for spin-based logic components which serve as the backbone for such computational architectures. In this presentation we will report on numerous novel strategies for both manipulating and detecting coherent spin-waves in vdW antiferromagnets, allowing for the detailed study of the magnon dynamics in these systems. These strategies have additionally allowed us to further engineer novel behavior of magnons, towards the realization of next-generation spin-based devices.
