This subproject will focus on characterizing the static and dynamic behavior of synthesized magnetic films and heterostructures. We will look at the emergence of complex magnetic order in rare-earth films and ascertain the role of spin orbit coupling and magnetic exchange. Special attention will be paid to manipulating this order with local spin torques to quantify how these materials can be used for magnetic memory and low-energy spin transfer. We will explore the presence of topological magnons as well as fundamentally new types of quasiparticle excitations, such as fractons.
