Essay

This dissertation addresses the investigation of quantum phenomena in antiferro-magnets and two-band superconductors. Both classes of materials are considered promis-ing candidates for applications in quantum technologies and next-generation electronics. What unites them is the presence of an additional degree of freedom – in antiferromag-nets, the ability to control chirality, and in superconductors, the utilization of two elec-tronic bands. The longitudinal dynamics of an antiferromagnet are shown to decompose into two distinct channels: (i) the simultaneous excitation or annihilation of two magnons, and (ii) the excitation of one magnon accompanied by the annihilation of another. These channels display different dependencies on temperature and wave vector. For the first time, the mechanisms governing the decay of such two-magnon interaction channels are demonstrated. Furthermore, it is revealed that, under the influence of an external electric field, an-tiferromagnets exhibit an anomalous region in the frequency spectrum and group veloci-ty. Within this regime, strong “friction” effects emerge, resulting in a pronounced reduc-tion of spectral characteristics and a sharp jump in group velocity up to ~300 km/s. Dis-tinct spatial and temporal damping behaviors of right- and left-handed spin waves in-duced by the Aharonov–Casher effect are also established. In addition, the order parameters of the Mo₀.₅₂Re₀.₄₈ alloy have been evaluated from the differential conductance of Ag/Mo₀.₅₂Re₀.₄₈ point contacts. The analysis con-firms the two-band nature of this alloy and validates its suitability as a platform for ex-ploring multiband superconductivity effects.
