Development of Magnonics with Voltage-Controlled Magnetic Anisotropy

This chapter discusses the origin and essential features of interfacial magnetic anisotropies and voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy (VCMAVoltage control of magnetic anisotropy (VCMA)) in ultrathin ferromagnetFerromagnet/oxide heterostructures. Various other electric field-induced methods for controlling magnetic properties and the advantages of VCMAVoltage control of magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) over them are thoroughly discussed. The recent progress of magnonics with VCMAVoltage control of magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) is described in detail. In particular, we discuss the linear and parametric excitation of ferromagnetic and spin waveSpin wave (SW) resonance; the essential properties of spin wavesSpin wave (SW) guided through reconfigurable nanochannels; the manipulation of spin waveSpin wave (SW) frequency, phase, wavevector, magnonic band structures, and damping parameters in detail. A brief discussion follows on the excitation and manipulation of spin wavesSpin wave (SW) by various other direct and indirect electric field-induced methods. The chapter concludes by briefly describing some open challenges in this field.
