We present an experimental investigation of a class of microwave photonic band-gap (PBG) materials, in which the magnetic permeability μ varies periodically within the material. This material is fabricated using a periodic arrangement of arrays of magnetic nanowires. As for dielectric or metallic PBG, the band-gap behavior varies with the geometrical parameters fixing the spatial periodicity of the magnetic structure. The magnetic photonic band gap is induced by the presence of a ferromagnetic resonance effect in the vicinity of the band gap.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
