| Popis: | Magnonics is a rapidly developing subfield of spintronics, which deals with devices and circuits that utilize spin currents carried by magnons - quanta of spin waves. Magnon current, i.e. spin waves, can be used for information processing, sensing, and other applications. A possibility of using the amplitude and phase of magnons for sending signals via electrical insulators creates conditions for avoiding Ohmic losses, and achieving ultra-low power dissipation. Most of the envisioned magnonic logic devices are based on spin wave interference, where the minimum energy per operation is limited by the noise level. The sensitivity and selectivity of magnonic sensors is also limited by the low frequency noise. However, the fundamental question "do magnons make noise?" has not been answered yet. It is not known how noisy magnonic devices are compared to their electronic counterparts. Here we show that the low-frequency noise of magnonic devices is dominated by the random telegraph signal noise rather than 1/f noise - a striking contrast to electronic devices (f is a frequency). We found that the noise level of surface magnons depends strongly on the power level, increasing sharply at the on-set of nonlinear dissipation. The presence of the random telegraph signal noise indicates that the current fluctuations involve random discrete macro events. We anticipate that our results will help in developing the next generation of magnonic devices for information processing and sensing. Comment: 18 pages; 3 figures |
