Title: Effects of an adjacent metal surface on spin wave propagation

Abstract

We experimentally investigate and model the effects of a copper surface adjacent to a surface on which spin waves propagate in a thin film of yttrium iron garnet (YIG). Investigation was performed using a phase detection method, which can map out the spin wave velocity as a function wavevector for small wavevector with high resolution. This velocity is in good agreement with a simple model and allows for extraction of the separation between the YIG film and the copper.

Phase detection of spin waves in yttrium iron garnet and metal induced nonreciprocity

Journal Article Trossman, Jonathan ; Lim, Jinho ; Bang, Wonbae ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Herein we report experiments which characterize spin wave propagation in a thin (111) yttrium iron garnet film for arbitrary angles between the in-plane magnetic field and the mode wavevectors. By measuring the magnetic field evolution of the phase of the wave traveling across the film, we deduce the frequency dependence of the wavevector, the dispersion relation, from which the mode velocity follows. Additionally, we observe multiple nodes in the regime of the propagating Damon-Eshbach mode; these arise from avoided crossings associated with the higher, exchange split, standing wave modes along the film normal, the positions of which correlate with themore »« less

Forward volume and surface magnetostatic modes in an yttrium iron garnet film for out-of-plane magnetic fields: Theory and experiment

Journal Article Lim, Jinho ; Bang, Wonbae ; Trossman, Jonathan ; ... - AIP Advances

We present experimental and theoretical results on the propagation of magnetostatic spin waves in a film of yttrium iron garnet (YIG) for out-of-plane magnetic fields for which propagation in opposite directions is nonreciprocal in the presence of a metal layer. The plane studied is defined by the film normal n and n × k where k is the wave vector of the mode. Spin waves in this setting are classified as forward volume waves or surface waves and display non-reciprocity in the presence of an adjacent metal layer except for when H//n. The measurements are carried out in a transmissionmore »« less

Nonreciprocal spin-wave propagation in YIG/GGG: a limit on the DMI parameter

Journal Article Trossman, J. ; Lim, Jinho ; Ketterson, J. B. ; ... - Journal of the Korean Physical Society

Materials with low damping, such as Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG), are of interest in connection with spintronic devices. A promising structure for information storage is the Skyrmion, a domain wall quasi-particle. It has been shown that the stabilization of a Skyrmion can be energetically favorable with the addition of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) through the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya Interaction (DMI). This interaction should be largest in metals, but still present in insulators. In order to produce spintronic devices using YIG, we must evaluate the DMI interaction inherent in the substrate used to grow the YIG, which is generally Gadolinium Gallium Garnet (GGG).

Study of Surface Character of Micrometer-Scale Dipole-Exchange Spin Waves in an Yttrium Iron Garnet Film

Journal Article Lim, Jinho ; Bang, Wonbae ; Trossman, Jonathan ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Magnetics

We demonstrate that micrometer scale spin waves can be excited in a thin film of the ferrimagnetic material Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) using patterned, multi-element, antennas. The magnitude of dynamic magnetic field generated by such antennas decays exponentially along the thickness direction and this leads to an enhanced coupling to modes having a surface-like character as opposed to a more sinusoidal bulk-like character. We have used this property to identify spin waves having a mixed bulk/surface character.

Chiral Spin-Wave Velocities Induced by All-Garnet Interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction in Ultrathin Yttrium Iron Garnet Films

Journal Article Wang, Hanchen ; Chen, Jilei ; Liu, Tao ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Spin waves can probe the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), which gives rise to topological spin textures, such as skyrmions. However, the DMI has not yet been reported in yttrium iron garnet (YIG) with arguably the lowest damping for spin waves. In this work, we experimentally evidence the interfacial DMI in a 7-nm-thick YIG film by measuring the nonreciprocal spin-wave propagation in terms of frequency, amplitude, and most importantly group velocities using all electrical spin-wave spectroscopy. The velocities of propagating spin waves show chirality among three vectors, i.e., the film normal direction, applied field, and spin-wave wave vector. By measuring the asymmetricmore »« less
