Scattering of light dark matter with sub-eV energy deposition can be detected with collective excitations in condensed matter systems. When dark matter has spin-independent couplings to atoms or ions, it has been shown to efficiently excite phonons. Here we show that, if dark matter couples to the electron spin, magnon excitations in materials with magnetic dipole order offer a promising detection path. We derive general formulae for single magnon excitation rates from dark matter scattering, and demonstrate as a proof of principle the projected reach of a yttrium iron garnet target for several dark matter models with spin-dependent interactions. This highlights the complementarity of various collective excitations in probing different dark matter interactions.

Flavor-violating dark matter at MEG-II and Mu3e
Rare muon decays into a positron and two dark matter particles could let MEG-II and Mu3e probe lepton-flavor-violating dark matter interactions at TeV scales, with a radiative decay extending the reach to sub-MeV dark matter.
