Efficient excitation and detection of standing spin wave in Permalloy film: Demonstration of spin wave resonator

A magnetic resonator consisting of periodical nonmagnetic electrodes on a ferromagnetic metallic film has been fabricated. We demonstrated that the resonator efficiently excites the standing magneto-static surface spin wave with the specific wavelength, which can be controlled by the interval of the periodical electrode. The operation frequency over 5 GHz was confirmed at the interval of 4 μ m under a small bias magnetic field less than 100 Oe. The optimization of the electrode pattern for the efficient detection of the standing spin wave was also demonstrated.
