Tunneling magnon flow across the terminated ferromagnetic chain

Abstract

A mechanism is proposed for transferring magnon energy from one ferromagnet to another by tunneling magnons through a bridging ferromagnetic wire that connects ferromagnets. In the framework of the model of Bose gas for the magnons, expressions are found for the power of the transferred magnon energy from a ferromagnet having a higher temperature to a colder ferromagnet. It is shown how the efficiency of tunneling transport depends on the parameters of exchange interactions in the “ferromagnet-wire-ferromagnet” system, the single-ion anisotropy of the structural units of the system, and the magnetic field. As an example, the role of single-ion anisotropy in the formation of resonant and non-resonant transmission of magnons between ferromagnets and adjacent wire terminal units is shown, which accordingly significantly enhances or weakens the tunneling flow of magnons from one ferromagnet to another.
