Long-distance supercurrent transport in a room-temperature Bose-Einstein magnon condensate.

The term supercurrent relates to a macroscopic dissipation-free collective motion of a quantum condensate and is commonly associated with such famous low-temperature phenomena as superconductivity and superfluidity. Another type of motion of quantum condensates is second sound - a wave of the density of a condensate. Recently, we reported on an enhanced decay of a parametrically induced Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of magnons caused by a supercurrent outflow of the BEC phase from the locally heated area of a room temperature magnetic film. Here, we present the direct experimental observation of a long-distance spin transport in such a system. The condensed magnons being pushed out from the potential well within the heated area form a density wave, which propagates through the BEC many hundreds of micrometers in the form of a specific second sound pulse - Bogoliubov waves - and is reflected from the sample edge. The discovery of the long distance supercurrent transport in the magnon BEC further advances the frontier of the physics of quasiparticles and allows for the application of related transport phenomena for low-loss data transfer in perspective magnon spintronics devices.
