Illustration of magnon interference in hematite

Caption

Two interfering magnon modes create spin waves (red/blue spirals), injecting a spin current (red/blue spheres with arrows) into an integrated platinum stripe (blue). The interference patterns are separately detected by a laser beam (green). The curved arrow at the top illustrates that the resulting polarization is dynamically controlled. © Anna Duvakina/LMGN EPFL
