Cover Feature: Excitation of Spin Waves in Ferrimagnetic Alloy via Optical Transient Grating Spectroscopy (Adv. Photonics Res. 2/2026)

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Optical Transient Grating Spectroscopy In their Research Article (10.1002/adpr.202500233), Alexei A. Maznev, Riccardo Cucini, and co-workers present an approach for exciting standing dipolar spin waves with a controlled wave vector in a ferrimagnetic thin film. By separating magnons from phonons, transient grating spectroscopy emerges as a powerful optical gateway to multiscale magnonics.
