Generation of spin wave packets by reconfigurable magnonic heterojunctions
Nano-magnonic crystals are magnetic waveguides whose magnetic parameters are modulated at the nanoscale. The super-lattice structure enables a band structure and magnonic band-gaps. Here, we numerically investigate the field tunability of such a magnonic band-gap. By subjecting different parts of the nano-magnonic crystal to a field, we realize a magnonic heterojunction. A numerical demonstration of an active modification of the band structure leads to magnonic amplitude modulation in the linear regime and magnonic frequency combs in the nonlinear regime. Our results offer further opportunities for nano-magnonic crystals and incite their experimental realization.
