Magnetization dynamics in magnonic structures with different geometries: interfaces, notches and waveguides
arXiv:1702.05041 · doi:10.1088/1361-648X/aa6bd1
Abstract
The discovery of the ultrafast magnetization dynamics twenty years ago has led to a broad variety of experimental techniques to explore phenomena in magnetic materials with high temporal resolution. In the present article we present a study dealing with broadband excitation of spin-wave packets at different magnonic crystal continuous magnetic film interfaces. Similar to protected conducting states on the surfaces of topological band insulators, these interfaces exhibit surface spin-wave modes that propagate out of the crystal into the continuous film. The propagation distance depends on the direction of the applied magnetic field as well as the surface geometry of the crystal.
