Multimode Propagation of Magnetostatic Waves in a Width-Modulated Yttrium-Iron-Garnet Waveguide

An irregular tapered ferrite waveguide with a periodically width-modulated region was investigated. By using space- and time-resolved Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy, we measured the features of the intermodal interaction of width modes and their scattering at the boundaries of the waveguide. Near the band-gap frequency region, the spatial pattern of the spin-waves depends on the mode interaction in the periodically width-modulated yttrium-iron-garnet waveguide. These experimental results are important for controlling spin-wave propagation in width-modulated magnetic structures for future spintronic devices.

Bragg resonances of magnetostatic surface spin waves in a layered structure: Magnonic crystal-dielectric-metal

It is experimentally shown that metal cladding of the surface of a one-dimensional magnonic crystal destroys the Bragg band gaps in microwave transmission spectra of propagating magnetostatic surface spin waves in magnonic crystal. This is a consequence of violating a phase synchronism condition of forward and reflected by a magnonic crystal magnetostatic surface wave. When a magnetostatic surface wave propagates in a layered structure, ferromagnetic film with a magnonic crystal-dielectric layer-metal cladding this synchronism condition can also be fulfilled, not depending on the thickness of a dielectric layer.

Frequency selective tunable spin wave channeling in the magnonic network

Using the space-resolved Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy, we study the frequency and wavenumber selective spin-wave channeling. We demonstrate the frequency selective collimation of spin-wave in an array of magnonic waveguides, formed between the adjacent magnonic crystals on the surface of yttrium iron garnet film. We show the control over spin-wave propagation length by the orientation of an in-plane bias magnetic field. Fabricated array of magnonic crystal can be used as a magnonic platform for multidirectional frequency selective signal processing applications in magnonic networks.

Directional multimode coupler for planar magnonics: Side-coupled magnetic stripes

We experimentally demonstrate spin waves coupling in two laterally adjacent magnetic stripes. By the means of Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy, we show that the coupling efficiency depends both on the magnonic waveguides geometry and the characteristics of spin-wave modes. In particular, the lateral confinement of coupled yttrium-iron-garnet stripes enables the possibility of control over the spin-wave propagation characteristics. Numerical simulations (in time domain and frequency domain) reveal the nature of intermodal coupling between two magnonic stripes. The proposed topology of multimode magnonic coupler can be utilized as a building block for fabrication of integrated parallel functional and logic devices such as the frequency selective directional coupler or tunable splitter, enabling a number of potential applications for planar magnonics.

Nonlinear spin wave coupling in adjacent magnonic crystals

We have experimentally studied the coupling of spin waves in the adjacent magnonic crystals. Space- and time-resolved Brillouin light-scattering spectroscopy is used to demonstrate the frequency and intensity dependent spin-wave energy exchange between the side-coupled magnonic crystals. The experiments and the numerical simulation of spin wave propagation in the coupled periodic structures show that the nonlinear phase shift of spin wave in the adjacent magnonic crystals leads to the nonlinear switching regime at the frequencies near the forbidden magnonic gap. The proposed side-coupled magnonic crystals represent a significant advance towards the all-magnonic signal processing in the integrated magnonic circuits.

Self-generation of dissipative solitons in magnonic quasicrystal active ring resonator

Self-generation of dissipative solitons in the magnonic quasicrystal (MQC) active ring resonator is studied theoretically and experimentally. The developed magnonic crystal has quasiperiodic Fibonacci type structure. Frequency selectivity of the MQC together with the parametric three-wave decay of magnetostatic surface spin wave (MSSW) leads to the dissipative soliton self-generation. The transfer matrix method is used to describe MQC transmission responses. Besides, the model of MQC active ring resonator is suggested. The model includes three coupled differential equations describing the parametric decay of MSSW and two differential equations of linear oscillators describing the frequency selectivity of MQC. Numerical simulation results of dissipative soliton self-generation are in a fair agreement with experimental data.

Dissipative soliton generation in an active ring resonator based on magnonic quasicrystal with Fibonacci type structure

This study reports on the experimental investigations of a magnetostatic surface wave (MSSW) propagation in a magnonic quasicrystal (MQC) with Fibonacci type structure. It is shown that such structure has a greater number of band gaps and narrower pass bands located between them than a periodic structure. These features of the MQC and three-wave decay of the MSSW are used in a MQC active ring resonator for the eigenmode selection and dissipative soliton self-generation.

Multimode Surface Magnetostatic Wave Propagation in Irregular Planar YIG Waveguide

Brillouin light spectroscopy method of magnetic materials was used for experimental study of multimode propagation characteristics of surface magnetostatic waves in an irregular ferrite waveguide. It was experimentally demonstrated that the spatial transformation of modes is possible in tapered ferrite planar waveguide due to breaking of the axis symmetry.

Generation of a stationary train of chaotic soliton-like microwave pulses in self-oscillating ring systems with a ferromagnetic thin film

The generation of a stationary train of chaotic soliton-like microwave pulses has been observed in an isolated self-oscillating ring system with a ferromagnetic thin-film and a resonator. The pulses have been formed owing to three-wave parametric processes and modulation instability of a surface magnetostatic wave. The soliton-like character of the microwave pulses is indicated by the time dependence of the instantaneous phase of the signal envelope.

Brillouin light scattering study of transverse mode coupling in confined yttrium iron garnet/barium strontium titanate multiferroic

Using the space-resolved Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy we study the transformation of dynamic magnetization patterns in a bilayer multiferroic structure. We show that in the comparison with a single yttrium iron garnet (YIG) film magnetization distribution is transformed in the bilayer structure due to the coupling of waves propagating both in an YIG film (magnetic layer) and in a barium strontium titanate slab (ferroelectric layer). We present a simple electrodynamic model using the numerical finite element method to show the transformation of eigenmode spectrum of confined multiferroic. In particular, we demonstrate that the control over the dynamic magnetization and the transformation of spatial profiles of transverse modes in magnetic film of the bilayer structure can be performed by the tuning of the wavevectors of transverse modes. The studied confined multiferroic stripe can be utilized for fabrication of integrated dual tunable functional devices for magnonic applications.
