We theoretically show that the coupling between magnons in an antiferromagnetically coupled ferrimagnet and microwave photons in a cavity is largely enhanced at the angular momentum compensation point (T_{A}) when T_{A} is distinct from the magnetization compensation point. The origin of the enhanced magnon-photon coupling at T_{A} is identified as the antiferromagnetic spin dynamics combined with a finite magnetization. Moreover, we show that strong magnon-photon coupling can be achieved at high excitation frequency in a ferrimagnet, which is challenging to achieve for a ferromagnet due to low magnon frequency and for an antiferromagnet due to weak magnon-photon coupling. Our results will invigorate research on magnon-photon coupling by proposing ferrimagnets as a versatile platform that offers advantages of both ferromagnets and antiferromagnets.
我们从理论上表明,当角动量补偿点((T_{A}))与磁化补偿点不同时,反铁磁耦合铁磁体中的磁振子与腔中的微波光子之间的耦合在角动量补偿点((T_{A}))处会大幅增强。(T_{A})处增强的磁振子 - 光子耦合的起源被确定为反铁磁自旋动力学与有限磁化强度的结合。此外,我们表明在铁磁体中可以在高激发频率下实现强磁振子 - 光子耦合,这对于铁磁体由于磁振子频率低以及对于反铁磁体由于磁振子 - 光子耦合弱而难以实现。我们的结果将通过提出铁磁体作为兼具铁磁体和反铁磁体优势的通用平台来激发对磁振子 - 光子耦合的研究。
