Abstract
We have used ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) at fixed frequency 9.7 GHz to investigate permalloy thin films patterned with antidots to form a five-fold quasicrystal pattern. For DC applied fields H below 3.5 kOe, we observed robust FMR spectra exhibiting two-fold rotational symmetry instead of the five-fold symmetry expected for quasicrystals. Dynamic micromagnetic simulations of the FMR spectra performed at <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex Notation="TeX">${\rm H}=1\ {\rm kOe}$</tex></formula> and 12 kOe exhibit two-fold and ten-fold rotational symmetry, respectively. The ten-fold symmetry observed in simulations is consistent with a saturated state of isolated write fields. We infer the two-fold rotational symmetry observed for <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex Notation="TeX">${\rm H}=1\ {\rm kOe}$</tex></formula> is due to an unsaturated state of five-fold write fields closely spaced on a square lattice.
