Voltage-controlled spin-wave Doppler shift in a ferromagnetic/ferroelectric heterojunction

Efficient manipulation of spin waves (SWs) is considered as one of the promising means for encoding information with low power consumption in next-generation spintronic devices. The SW Doppler shift is a key phenomenon obtained by manipulating SW propagation. Here, we predict an efficient way to control the SW Doppler shift by voltage-control magnetic-anisotropy-boundary (MAB) movement in the FM-FE heterojunction. From the micromagnetic simulation, we verified that the SW Doppler shift aligns well with our theoretical predictions in Fe/BaTiO₃ heterostructure. The SW Doppler shift also shows an ultra-wide-band-shift (over 5 GHz) property with voltage. Such an efficient SW Doppler shift may provide one possible way to measure the Hawking radiation of an analogue black hole in the SW systems.
