Abstract
Patterned magnetic nanostructures are potential candidates for future energy efficient, on-chip communication devices. Here, we have experimentally and numerically studied the role of nanochannels to manipulate spin waves in Ni80Fe20 connected nanodot arrays of varying filling fraction. Rich spin-wave spectra are observed in these samples, where the number of spin-wave modes decreases with increasing filling fraction due to the retrenchment of the demagnetizing field. The nanochannels affect the spin-wave modes of the connected dots through dipole-exchange coupling. For all modes the vertical nanochannels couple the nanodots, except for the highest frequency modes where all nanochannels act as coupler. This feature is further explored in the simulation, which reveals that only the highest frequency mode can propagate through all the nanochannels, analogues to an electronic demultiplexer. This study will be useful to understand the role of nanochannels in patterned magnetic nanostructures and their applications in spin-wave based communication devices.
