Antiferromagnetic spintronics is an emerging research field which aims to utilize antiferromagnets as core elements in spintronic devices1,2. A central motivation towards this direction is that antiferromagnetic spin dynamics is expected to be much faster than its ferromagnetic counterpart3. Recent theories indeed predicted faster dynamics of antiferromagnetic domain walls (DWs) than ferromagnetic DWs4,5,6. However, experimental investigations of antiferromagnetic spin dynamics have remained unexplored, mainly because of the magnetic field immunity of antiferromagnets7. Here we show that fast field-driven antiferromagnetic spin dynamics is realized in ferrimagnets at the angular momentum compensation point TA. Using rare earth–3d-transition metal ferrimagnetic compounds where net magnetic moment is nonzero at TA, the field-driven DW mobility is remarkably enhanced up to 20 km s−1 T−1. The collective coordinate approach generalized for ferrimagnets8 and atomistic spin model simulations6,9 show that this remarkable enhancement is a consequence of antiferromagnetic spin dynamics at TA. Our finding allows us to investigate the physics of antiferromagnetic spin dynamics and highlights the importance of tuning of the angular momentum compensation point of ferrimagnets, which could be a key towards ferrimagnetic spintronics.

铁酸盐角动量补偿温度附近的快速畴壁运动

反铁磁自旋电子学是一个新兴的研究领域,旨在利用反铁磁作为自旋电子器件1,2的核心元素。朝这个方向发展的主要动机是,反铁磁自旋动力学有望比其铁磁自旋动力学更快3。最近的理论确实预测比铁磁DW 4,5,6更快的反铁磁畴壁(DWs)动力学。然而,反铁磁自旋动力学的实验研究仍未探索,主要是因为反铁磁7的磁场抗扰性。在这里,我们表明,在角动量补偿点T处,在ferrimagnets中实现了快速的场驱动反铁磁自旋动力学。使用在T A处净磁矩不为零的稀土3d过渡金属亚铁化合物,在高达20 km s -1  T -1的范围内,场驱动的DW迁移率显着提高。对于铁氧体8和原子自旋模型仿真6,9的通用集合坐标方法表明,这种显着增强是在T A时反铁磁自旋动力学的结果。我们的发现使我们能够研究反铁磁自旋动力学的物理原理,并强调了调整铁氧体的角动量补偿点的重要性,这可能是通向铁磁自旋电子学的关键。
