Long-range, non-local switching of spin textures in a frustrated antiferromagnet.

ABSTRACT: Antiferromagnetic spintronics is an emerging area of quantum technologies that leverage the coupling between spin and orbital degrees of freedom in exotic materials. Spin-orbit interactions allow spin or angular momentum to be injected via electrical stimuli to manipulate the spin texture of a material, enabling the storage of information and energy. In general, the physical process is intrinsically local: spin is carried by an electrical current, imparted into the magnetic system, and the spin texture will then rotate in the region of current flow. In this study, we show that spin information can be transported and stored "non-locally" in the material Fe_xNbS₂. We propose that collective modes can manipulate the spin texture away from the flowing current, an effect am
