Abstract

The dynamic interplay of superconductivity and magnetism is promising for developing quantum magnonics and spintronics. Recent experiments have reported significant, enigmatic shifts of ferromagnetic resonance frequency in layered SFS structures. The author explains that the origin of this effect is spontaneous generation of magnon mass due to the celebrated Anderson-Higgs mechanism, a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics. Upon cooling below the superconducting critical temperature, the magnons acquire a frequency gap and change their propagation direction. This effect enables the creation of magnon resonators, crystals, parametric amplifiers, and other useful devices.
