Abstract
Spin waves are investigated in yttrium iron garnet waveguides with a thickness of 39nm and widths ranging down to 50nm, i.e., with an aspect ratio thickness over width approaching unity, using Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy. The experimental results are verified by a semianalytical theory and micromagnetic simulations. A critical width is found, below which the exchange interaction suppresses the dipolar pinning phenomenon. This changes the quantization criterion for the spin-wave eigenmodes and results in a pronounced modification of the spin-wave characteristics. The presented semianalytical theory allows for the calculation of spin-wave mode profiles and dispersion relations in nanostructures.
