Spin-wave bandpass filters with small sizes on the basis of thin Y3Fe5O12 [yttrium-iron garnet (YIG)] films on Gd3Ga5O12 [gadolinium-gallium garnet (GGG)] and SiO2/Si substrates have been constructed. A thin YIG film with a thickness of 0.8μm on SiO2/Si substrates has been grown by the ion-beam sputtering. It is found that the coplanar antenna structure can be successfully used to construct tunable small-sized narrowband bandpass filters based on spin waves. The filter transmission characteristic has a nonreciprocity when the direction of energy propagation changes. Spin-wave filter characteristics are analyzed using the transmission-matrix formalism.
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.
