Tunneling current-controlled spin states in few-layer van der Waals magnets
Nature Communications · 2024-05-01 · 15 citations
articleOpen accessAbstract Effective control of magnetic phases in two-dimensional magnets would constitute crucial progress in spintronics, holding great potential for future computing technologies. Here, we report a new approach of leveraging tunneling current as a tool for controlling spin states in CrI 3 . We reveal that a tunneling current can deterministically switch between spin-parallel and spin-antiparallel states in few-layer CrI 3 , depending on the polarity and amplitude of the current. We propose a m…
Fast magnonic device development with inverse design

article1st authorCorrespondingPropagation of spin waves in doubly periodic magnonic crystals
Physical Review Applied · 2025-06-05 · 1 citations
articleSenior authorTowards the development of strategies for tailoring spin-wave band gaps in magnonic crystals, this work examines the band-gap properties in a one-dimensional magnonic crystal with double periodicity. A long and narrow yttrium iron garnet thin film strip is etched with an array of transverse groove lines separated by alternating distances, where the second distance is twice the first. This double periodicity in the magnonic crystal translates into dissimilar band gaps in the frequency domain, wit…

articleOpen access1st authorCorrespondingThe multi-degree-of-freedom engine mount system presents a coupling issue that significantly impacting its vibration isolation performance. Although the optimization theories for decoupling 6-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) and 12-degree-of-freedom (12-DOF) engine mount systems are relatively well-developed, previous studies have predominantly focused on engine response and often overlook the impact of car body vibrations. To address this gap, this article conducts an in-depth investigation into how t…
