Abstract

Hybrid systems coupling quantum spin defects (QSD) and magnons can enable unique spintronic device functionalities and probes for magnetism. Here, we add electric field control of magnon-QSD coupling to such systems by integrating ferromagnet-ferroelectric composite multiferroic with nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center spins. Combining quantum relaxometry with ferromagnetic resonance measurements and analytical modeling, we reveal that the observed electric-field tuning is consistent with the ferroelectric polarization control of the magnon-generated fields at the NV. Exploiting this mechanism, we also propose magnon-based hybrid electric field sensors which provide the possibility of improving dc electric field sensitivity of single-spin sensors.

First, the nanomagnet calculations directly incorporate mode ellipticity (see Supplemental Materials S5). Second, the absence of excitation continuum due to mode discretization suppresses two-magnon noise [14]. Third, the observed length scale of inhomogeneity in PMN-PT due to domains is larger than the typical nanomagnet size [44]; combined with the quasiuniform mode profile of the Kittel mode, such inhomogeneities are thus expected to be less relevant for the nanomagnet geometry.
