Control of spin wave demultiplexing using spin current

Abstract

The paper reports on the principle of signals demultiplexing in the structure ferromagnetic film/normal metal/magnonic crystal. It is discovered that in such a structure there is a formation of four band gaps - spin wave forbidden bands. It is shown that depending on the frequency, the signal comes out through different ports of the structure (ferromagnetic film or magnonic crystal), i.e. there is frequency division of channels. The influence of spin current on the signal coupling at frequencies inside the band gap significantly prevails over the effect of spin current at frequencies outside the band gap. The spin current allows effective control of the main line insertion loss of a directional coupler based on such a structure. The spin current has little effect on coupling factor and isolation.
