Magnon-polaritons in Gyromagnetic Structures with Graphene
Magnon-polaritons, gyromagnetic materials, graphene.
Electromagnetic waves propagating in magnetic crystals can couple with spin waves (magnons) excited in these materials,
giving rise to hybrid modes known as magnonpolaritons. These modes have been extensively studied in various materials and
geometries due to their potential for technological applications in devices operating from the microwave range to the far-
infrared. Recent studies have shown that the introduction of additional layers, particularly graphene, can significantly modify
the response of these systems, especially under the influence of a static magnetic field with a specific orientation. In particular,
when the field is applied perpendicularly, it excites the Landau levels of electrons in graphene, altering its conductivity and,
consequently, the dynamics of the polaritons at the interface between media. In this work, we present a theoretical study of
magnon-polaritons in three distinct systems: a semi-infinite medium, a thin film, and a periodic superlattice. All structures are
composed of gyromagnetic materials, each containing a single graphene layer at its interfaces, under the application of a
perpendicular magnetic field. Our results reveal the emergence of new hybrid modes that are highly sensitive to tunable
parameters, such as the magnetic field intensity and the Fermi energy of electrons in graphene.
