Title: Long-distance propagation of short-wavelength spin waves

Abstract

Recent years have witnessed a rapidly growing interest in exploring the use of spin waves for information transmission and computation toward establishing a spin-wave-based technology that is not only significantly more energy efficient than the CMOS technology, but may also cause a major departure from the von-Neumann architecture by enabling memory-in-logic and logic-in-memory architectures. A major bottleneck of advancing this technology is the excitation of spin waves with short wavelengths, which is a must because the wavelength dictates device scalability. Here, we report the discovery of an approach for the excitation of nm-wavelength spin waves. The demonstration uses ferromagnetic nanowires grown on a 20-nm-thick Y3Fe5O12 film strip. The propagation of spin waves with a wavelength down to 50 nm over a distance of 60,000 nm is measured. The measurements yield a spin-wave group velocity as high as 2600 m s–1, which is faster than both domain wall and skyrmion motions.

The applied field H is parallel to the Co nanowires (along the y axis). b Color-coded reflection spectramore » S11 measured on the device structure shown in a. The field is set to −3000 Oe to magnetize the Co nanowires and the YIG film to saturation first and then swept from −400 Oe to 400 Oe with a field step of 2.5 Oe. The spectra have several different regions corresponding to three different magnetic states: parallel state (P), antiparallel state (AP), and random state (R). c A line plot extracted from b at a field of 400Oe. d Color-coded reflection spectra S11 with a reversed field sweeping direction, as indicated.
