Abstract
Topologically protected, unidirectional surface magnon polaritons (SMPs) guided along the interface between air and ferrimagnetic yttrium iron garnet slab structures, biased with an external static magnetic field in the Voigt configuration, are realized experimentally by measuring the S-parameters between two small loop magnetic dipole antennas that launch and receive the SMP. Transmission is compared in the two cases where an abrupt change in the form of a step is present and absent in the interface. We find that transmission of the SMP peaks near the same level in each case, a sign of its topological protection. In addition, the dependence of isolation on slab thickness is investigated for a specified antenna configuration.
