Effect of the Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya Interaction on Magnonic Activity in Ferromagnetic Nanotubes

The magnonic activity refers to a chiral effect in the field of magnetization dynamics that exhibits a high degree of analogy to optical activity. It manifests as the azimuthal continuous rotation of standing-wave nodes in the cross-section of spin waves during propagation in ferromagnetic nanowire waveguides. The study employs micromagnetic simulation methods to theoretically investigate the influence of the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction (iDMI) on the magnonic activity in longitudinally magnetized ferromagnetic nanotubes. The results demonstrate that iDMI-induced chirality effectively controls the magnonic activity’s rotatory power, which relies on the values of the iDMI constant D (from −0.5 mJ/m2 to 1 mJ/m2). Additionally, nanotube thickness variations (from 3 nm to 15 nm) alter effective curvature, further influencing the rotatory power of the magnonic activity. Numerical simulations and semi-analytical calculations show excellent agreement, providing a theoretical foundation for chiral spin-wave manipulation in 3D curved nanostructures.
