... similar dependence on the magnetization angle ϕ to that of an anisotropy energy and therefore, because of the magnetoelastic coupling, any applied stress will affect the overall anisotropy of the magnetic layer. As shown on fig.8b, in the absence of a stress, two stable positions for the magnetization exist for H < H A (bistable mode as shown on fig. 5b), and they are aligned along the x and y axis for H = √ H A /2. The application of tensile or compressive stress along the x axis modifies the shape of the free energy ( fig.5b) and induces the switch of magnetic moments from one stable position to the other via the magnetoelastic interaction. The stress can be very efficiently ...

In this work, we present the results of investigations performed on hematite (α-Fe2O3), which is an antiferromagnet with weak ferromagnetism. Through the use of Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy, we studied experimentally the excitation of quasi-ferro- and antiferromagnetic modes in the bulk hematite. We investigated the influence of relative mechanical strains, ϵyy, on the frequencies of quasi-ferro- and antiferromagnetic modes. Also, we considered the angular dependence of the frequency of the quasi-ferromagnetic mode on the external magnetic field. Our results indicate that hematite is a suitable material for strain-controlled magnonic devices.
