Popis: Abstract Information industry is one of the major drivers of the world economy. Its rapid growth, however, leads to severe heat problem which strongly hinders further development. This calls for a non-charge-based technology. Magnon, capable of transmitting spin information without electron movement, holds tremendous potential in post-Moore era. Given the cornerstone role of the field effect transistor in modern electronics, creating its magnonic equivalent is highly desired but remains a challenge. Here, we demonstrate a nonvolatile three-terminal lateral magnon field effect transistor operating at room temperature. The device consists of a ferrimagnetic insulator (Y3Fe5O12) deposited on a ferroelectric material [Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)0.7Ti0.3O3 or Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3], with three Pt stripes patterned on Y3Fe5O12 as the injector, gate, and detector, respectively. The magnon transport in Y3Fe5O12 can be regulated by the gate voltage pulses in a nonvolatile manner with a high on/off ratio. Our findings provide a solid foundation for designing energy-efficient magnon-based devices.
