“…Magnetoelastic coupling (MEC), the interaction between spin waves (magnons) and lattice waves (phonons), was first investigated more than half a century ago [1][2][3] and has renewed attention in spintronics . By the MEC, magnons and phonons, in the vicinity of the crossings of their dispersion relations, are hybridized into quasiparticles called magnon polarons that share mixed magnonic and phononic characters [6,8,[10][11][12][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. Magnon polarons can convey spin information with velocities close to those of phonons, much faster than the magnon velocities in the dipolar magnon regime [7,8,14,15].…”
