Spin pumping into quantum spin nematic states

Abstract

We theoretically study spin pumping into a spin-nematic state in a junction system composed of a ferromagnetic insulator and a spin-nematic insulator, described by using the spin-1 bilinear-biquadratic model. We analyze an increase of the Gilbert damping in ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) due to an interfacial exchange coupling within a mean-field theory based on the Schwinger boson method. We find that the two Schwinger bosons contribute in distinct ways to spin pumping. We report a detailed dependence of the spin pumping on a resonant frequency, a magnetic field, and an interface type.
