Особенности распространения спиновых волн в магнонных кристаллах с неоднородным распределением намагниченности по толщине

Abstract

With the help of micromagnetic modeling, we considered particularities of dispersions and amplitude-frequency response of spin waves in a magnonic crystal (MC) formed by etching an array of grooves in the surface of yttrium iron garnet film having linear distribution of magnetization across the thickness from 1.7 kG at the upper surface till 2.02 kG at the bottom. For the geometry of surface magnetostatic spin waves (MSSW), it is shown that nonuniformity of magnetization distribution across the thickness leads to the appearance of frequency regions in the MC spectrum where MSSW propagation is unidirectional and, as the consequence, does not have Bragg resonances. It was also demonstrated that the MC spectrum is determined by the choice of surface used for the formation of the array of grooves.
