magnonmagnon
A magnon is a quantum mechanical description of an elementary excitation in certain magnetic materials. It is a type of quasiparticle that represents a collective excitation of the electron spins. In essence, magnons can be thought of as quantized spin waves. These waves propagate through the material, carrying energy and momentum. The concept of magnons is crucial in understanding the magnetic properties of solids, particularly ferromagnets and antiferromagnets.
Magnons arise from the exchange interaction between neighboring electron spins in a crystal lattice. When a
The study of magnons has significant implications for condensed matter physics and has led to advancements
