Magnetic field induced spin-wave energy focusing

Spin waves can transport both energy and angular momentum over long distances as they propagate. However, due to damping, their amplitude decreases exponentially as they move away from the source, leaving little capability for manipulating how much energy and angular momentum is to be delivered where. Here we show that a suitable local reduction of the effective field can lead to a large accumulation of spin wave energy far from the source. Moreover, both the location and the amount of energy to be delivered can be controlled accurately with geometry and externalm magnetic fields. Thus, we put forward a general, robust and flexible approach to convey both heat and spin in ferromagnets, which can be directly used in spintronic devices.
