Formation of guided spin-wave bullets in ferrimagnetic film stripes
The formation of quasi-2D nonlinear spin-wave eigenmodes in longitudinally
magnetized stripes of a ferrimagnetic film, so-called guided spin-wave bullets,
was experimentally observed by using time- and space-resolved Brillouin light
scattering spectroscopy and confirmed by numerical simulation. They represent
stable spin-wave packets propagating along a waveguide structure, for which
both transversal instability and interaction with the side edges of the
waveguide are important. The experiments and the numerical simulation of the
evolution of the spin-wave excitations show that the shape of the formed
packets and their behavior are strongly influenced by the confinement
conditions. The discovery of these modes demonstrates the existence of
quasi-stable nonlinear solutions in the transition regime between
one-dimensional and two-dimensional wave packet propagation.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Scattering of backward spin waves in a one-dimensional magnonic crystal
Scattering of backward volume magnetostatic spin waves from a one-dimensional
magnonic crystal, realized by a grating of shallow grooves etched into the
surface of an yttrium-iron garnet film, was experimentally studied. Rejection
frequency bands were clearly observed. The rejection efficiency and the
frequency width of the rejection bands increase with increasing groove depth. A
theoretical model based on the analogy of a spin-wave film-waveguide with a
microwave transmission line was used to interpret the obtained experimental
results.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Low-damping transmission of spin waves through YIG/Pt-based layered structures for spin-orbit-torque applications
We show that in YIG-Pt bi-layers, which are widely used in experiments on the
spin transfer torque and spin Hall effects, the spin-wave amplitude
significantly decreases in comparison to a single YIG film due to the
excitation of microwave eddy currents in a Pt coat. By introducing a novel
excitation geometry, where the Pt layer faces the ground plane of a microstrip
line structure, we suppressed the excitation of the eddy currents in the Pt
layer and, thus, achieved a large increase in the transmission of the
Damon-Eshbach surface spin wave. At the same time, no visible influence of an
external dc current applied to the Pt layer on the spin-wave amplitude in the
YIG-Pt bi-layer was observed in our experiments with YIG films of micrometer
thickness
Frequency-dependent reflection of spin waves from a magnetic inhomogeneity induced by a surface DC-current
The reflectivity of a highly localized magnetic inhomogeneity is
experimentally studied. The inhomogeneity is created by a dc-current carrying
wire placed on the surface of a ferrite film. The reflection of propagating
dipole-dominated spin-wave pulses is found to be strongly dependent on the
spin-wave frequency if the current locally increases the magnetic field. In the
opposite case the frequency dependence is negligible.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figure
Variable damping and coherence in a high-density magnon gas
We report on the fast relaxation behavior of a high-density magnon gas
created by a parametric amplification process. The magnon gas is probed using
the technique of spin-wave packet recovery by parallel parametric pumping.
Experimental results show a damping behavior which is in disagreement with both
the standard model of exponential decay and with earlier observations of
non-linear damping. In particular, the inherent magnon damping is found to
depend upon the presence of the parametric pumping field. A phenomenological
model which accounts for the dephasing of the earlier injected magnons is in
good agreement with the experimental data
The tractability frontier of well-designed SPARQL queries
We study the complexity of query evaluation of SPARQL queries. We focus on
the fundamental fragment of well-designed SPARQL restricted to the AND,
OPTIONAL and UNION operators. Our main result is a structural characterisation
of the classes of well-designed queries that can be evaluated in polynomial
time. In particular, we introduce a new notion of width called domination
width, which relies on the well-known notion of treewidth. We show that, under
some complexity theoretic assumptions, the classes of well-designed queries
that can be evaluated in polynomial time are precisely those of bounded
domination width
Spin-wave propagation in a microstructured magnonic crystal
Transmission of microwave spin waves through a microstructured magnonic
crystal in the form of a permalloy waveguide of a periodically varying width
was studied experimentally and theoretically. The spin wave characteristics
were measured by spatially-resolved Brillouin light scattering microscopy. A
rejection frequency band was clearly observed. The band gap frequency was
controlled by the applied magnetic field. The measured spin-wave intensity as a
function of frequency and propagation distance is in good agreement with a
model calculation.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
