Abstract

We report on the experimental observation of a spin wave (SW) propagation in a magnetic film lying on a developed surface—a three-dimensional (3D) magnonic structure. The 3D magnonic structure was fabricated by deposition of a 180 nm thick yttrium iron garnet film on the patterned substrate with a one-dimensional array of 1.5 μm deep grooves with the period of 20 μm using ion beam sputtering. We experimentally explored SW propagation in such a periodic structure for Bragg and Laue geometries. Transmission characteristics showed that for the Bragg geometry, the examined structure works more like a system of coupled resonators that are formed by the flat segments of the 3D structure, whereas for the Laue geometry, the features related to a formation of width SW modes and to the discrete diffraction of the SW were observed.
