Using micromagnetic simulations, we show the possibility to build spin logic devices based on films of yttrium iron garnet and permalloy where energy channeling of spin waves is achieved due to excitation of focused and narrow-directed wave beams with used antennas. We studied the methods to construct a majority logic gate based on the interference of caustics of spin waves excited with the rectilinear transducers directed at an angle to the in-plane magnetic field. We propose the approach that allows using of amplitude detector to build a truth table and that consists in adding a reference signal with the fixed initial phase to three information signals. The possibility to scale the device on the example of its work in the range of spin waves with micron and submicron wavelengths is demonstrated.

The propagation of spin waves in an yttrium iron garnet film decorated by nickel film microstructures was experimentally and theoretically studied. It is shown that one can control the spin wave damping and form the spin wave beams by choosing geometry of the nickel microstructures.
