Title: Spin waves in micro-structured yttrium iron garnet nanometer-thick films

Abstract

Here, we investigated the spin-wave propagation in a micro-structured yttrium iron garnet waveguide of 40 nm thickness. Utilizing spatially-resolved Brillouin light scattering microscopy, an exponential decay of the spinwave amplitude of 10 μm was observed. This leads to an estimated Gilbert damping constant of α = (8.79 ± 0.73) x 10$$-$$4, which is larger than damping values obtained through ferromagnetic resonance measurements in unstructured films. Furthermore, we compared the theoretically calculated spatial interference of waveguide modes to the spin-wave pattern observed experimentally by means of Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy.
