It is experimentally shown that metal cladding of the surface of a one-dimensional magnonic crystal destroys the Bragg band gaps in microwave transmission spectra of propagating magnetostatic surface spin waves in magnonic crystal. This is a consequence of violating a phase synchronism condition of forward and reflected by a magnonic crystal magnetostatic surface wave. When a magnetostatic surface wave propagates in a layered structure, ferromagnetic film with a magnonic crystal-dielectric layer-metal cladding this synchronism condition can also be fulfilled, not depending on the thickness of a dielectric layer.
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.
