Temporal magnetic interfaces reveal damping-induced spin-wave amplification near the stripe-domain transition in ultrathin films with DMI

Using micromagnetic simulations and analytical theory, we study temporal magnetic interfaces in ultrathin CoFeB films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and interfacial Dzyaloshinskii--Moriya interaction. We show that time refraction and reflection are governed by precession ellipticity, acting as a magnonic temporal impedance, while smooth field ramps suppress temporal reflections. Near the transition from a uniform state to stripe domains, the exceptional-point and critical fields delimit damping, slow-instability, and strong-instability regimes. In the slow-instability window, Gilbert damping counterintuitively drives spin-wave growth with a rate proportional to the damping parameter. Micromagnetic simulations confirm that a temporal-slab protocol exploiting this regime achieves up to 175-fold frequency-preserving amplitude amplification without continuous power injection. Energy analysis indicates that the field ramp stores energy in the metastable uniform state below the stripe-domain transition, later released into growing spin-wave excitations, consistent with the antimagnonic framework. These results establish temporal field modulation as a route to reconfigurable spin-wave gain.

Three-magnon scattering of spin wave on edge-localized mode in thin ferromagnetic film

Three-wave scattering is a fascinating phenomenon with many applications in various technologies. Reducing the system symmetry greatly affects three-wave scattering, which, in this case, goes beyond the simple momentum conservation law. In this study, we examine three-magnon scattering at the edge of a thin ferromagnetic film, when a bulk spin wave interacts with an edge-localized propagating spin-wave upon the reflection. This creates new bulk spin waves at mixed frequencies by means of three-magnon confluence or stimulated splitting processes. Using our developed analytical theory, which has been confirmed by full micromagnetic simulations, we demonstrate that the amplitude of the wave generated in the stimulated splitting process is several times larger than that generated in the confluence process, primarily due to the lower group velocity. Furthermore, intensity of inelastically scattered waves exhibit a pronounced dependence on the incidence angle and frequency of the edge spin wave that goes beyond existing qualitative models. We show that the observed behaviors can only be explained by taking into account, that the scattered waves are created by several elementary three-magnon processes involving the incident and reflected waves. The complex nature of the scattered wave creation results in a strong sensitivity of its amplitude to the phase accumulation of spin waves upon reflection.

Goos-Hänchen shift of inelastically scattered spin-wave beams and cascade nonlinear excitation of spin-wave leaky modes

We show, by means of micromagnetic simulations, inelastic scattering of spin-wave beams on edge-localized spin waves modes. The outcome of the investigated inelastic scattering is creation of new spin-waves beams of frequencies shifted by the edge mode frequencies. We report that inelastically scattered spin-wave beams in both stimulated splitting and confluence processes not only change their direction of propagation, but also undergo lateral shifts along the interface, analogous to the Goos-Hänchen effect. We report that the lateral shifts of inelastically scattered beams can be much larger than the classical Goos-Hänchen shifts for reflected spin waves, taking both positive and negative values. In addition, we report the cascade nonlinear excitation of spin-wave leaky modes accompanied by a substantial increase in the value of the lateral shift of the inelastically scattered spin-wave beam in the confluence process. Our results are an important contribution to the understanding of the nonlinear nature of spin waves, which is crucial for spin wave applications.

Spin-wave confinement in a hybrid superconductor-ferrimagnet nanostructure

Eddy currents in a superconductor shield the magnetic field in its interior and are responsible for the formation of a magnetic stray field outside of the superconducting structure. The stray field can be controlled by the external magnetic field and affect the magnetization dynamics in the magnetic system placed in its range. In the case of a hybrid system consisting of a superconducting strip placed over a magnetic layer, we predict theoretically the confinement of spin waves in the well of the static stray field. The number of bound states and their frequencies can be controlled by an external magnetic field. We have presented the results of semi-analytical calculations complemented by numerical modeling.

A modal approach to modelling spin wave scattering

Efficient numerical methods are required for the design of optimised devices. In magnonics, the primary computational tool is micromagnetic simulations, which solve the Landau-Lifshitz equation discretised in time and space. However, their computational cost is high, and the complexity of their output hinders insight into the physics of the simulated system, especially in the case of multimode propagating wave-based devices. We propose a finite-element modal method allowing an efficient solution of the scattering problem for dipole-exchange spin waves propagating perpendicularly to the magnetisation direction. The method gives direct access to the scattering matrix of the whole system and its components. We extend the formula for the power carried by a magnetostatic mode in the Damon-Eshbach configuration to the case with exchange, allowing the scattering coefficients to be normalised to represent the fraction of the input power transferred to each output channel. We apply the method to the analysis of spin-wave scattering on a basic functional block of magnonic circuits, consisting of a resonator dynamically coupled to a thin film. The results and the method are validated by comparison with micromagnetic simulations.

Advanced magnon-optic effects with spin-wave leaky modes

We numerically demonstrate the excitation of leaky spin waves (SWs) guided along a ferromagnetic stripe by an obliquely incident SW beam on the thin film edge placed below the stripe. During propagation, leaky waves emit energy back to the layer in the form of plane waves and several laterally shifted parallel SW beams. This resonance excitation, combined with interference effects of the reflected and re-emitted waves, results in the magnonic Woods anomaly and significant increase of the Goos-Hanchen shift magnitude. Hence, we provide a unique platform to control SW reflection and to transfer SWs from a 2D platform into the 1D guiding mode that can be used to form a transdimensional magnonic router.

Control of the phase of reflected spin-waves from magnonic Gires-Tournois interferometer of subwavelength width

The phase is one of the fundamental properties of a wave that allows to control interference effects and can be used to efficiently encode information. We examine numerically a magnonic resonator of the Gires-Tournois interferometer type, which enables the control of the phase of spin waves reflected from the edges of the ferromagnetic film. The considered interferometer consists of a Py thin film and a thin, narrow Py stripe placed above its edge, both coupled magnetostatically. We show that the resonances and the phase of the reflected spin waves are sensitive for a variation of the geometrical parameters of this bi-layerd part of the system. The high sensitivity to film, stripe, and non-magnetic spacer thicknesses, offers a prospect for developing magnonic metasurfaces and sensors.

Resonant subwavelength control of the phase of spin waves reflected from a ferromagnetic film edge

Using frequency-domain finite element calculations cross-checked with micromagnetic simulations, we demonstrate that the phase of spin waves reflected from an interface between a permalloy film and a bilayer can be controlled by changing dimensions of the bilayer. Treating the bilayer formed by the permalloy film and a ferromagnetic stripe as a segment of a multi-mode waveguide, we show that spin-wave Fabry-Perot resonances of one of its modes are responsible for the high sensitivity of the phase of reflected waves to stripe width and the stripe-film separation. Thus, the system is a unique realization of a fully magnonic Gires-Tournois interferometer based on a two-modes resonator, which can be treated as a magnonic counterpart of a metasurface, since it enables manipulation of the phase of spin waves at subwavelength distances. Knowledge gained from these calculations might be used to design magnonic devices such as flat lenses or magnetic particle detectors.
