Thermally controlled confinement of spin wave field in a magnonic YIG waveguide

Methods for detecting spin waves rely on electrodynamical coupling between the spin wave dipolar field and an inductive probe. While this coupling is usually treated as constant, in this work, we experimentally and theoretically show that it is indeed temperature dependent. By measuring the spin wave magnetic field as a function of temperature of, and distance to the sample, we demonstrate that there is both a longitudinal and transversal confinement of the field near the YIG-Air interface. Our results are relevant for spin wave detection, in particular in the field of spin wave caloritronics

Scattering of exchange spin waves from regions of modulated magnetization

We investigate the reflection coefficient of spin waves propagating in an ultra-thin ferromagnetic film with regions where saturation magnetization is modulated. We find analytically and using micromagnetic simulations that there are transmission resonances that depend on the width of the regions and on the energy of excitation. Our results resemble the quantum mechanical Ramsauer-Townsend effect in which an electron with certain energies can propagate above a potential field without scattering. Our findings are useful for reconfigurable magnonic devices where the saturation magnetization can be dynamically controlled via a thermal landscape.
