The features of spin-wave transport in a system of coupled magnetic microwaveguides with perpendicular magnetization relative to the longitudinal axis of the system are considered. In this case, the system has uniaxial anisotropy, the horizontal and vertical coupling coefficients have different signs, and the isofrequency surfaces have a "saddle" shape. In the propagation of transversely limited beams of spin waves, the type of curvature of the wave fronts is determined by the direction of wave propagation relative to the external magnetic field.
Using numerical and experimental methods, the mechanism of control of the transmission of a spin-wave signal in a three-dimensional magnon splitter, formed by an orthogonal junction of magnetic strips of yttrium iron garnet, has been investigated. It is shown that by variation the size of the air gap between the spin-waveguide sections, it is possible to control the selection of the signal propagating in the output sections of the structure. From an applied point of view, the results obtained can be used to create an interconnection element in multilevel magnon information processing devices for the formation of multilayer magnon network topologies and miniaturization of computing devices based on the principles of magnonics. Key words: spin waves, magnonics, three-dimensional interconnections, micromagnetic modeling.
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.
