Spin-wave resonance in yttrium iron garnet stripe domains

Prestwood, D.*; Kikkawa, Takashi; Saito, Eiji; 15 of others*

We study a thin-film yttrium iron garnet sample that exhibits magnetic stripe domains due to a small perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. Using wide-field magneto-optic Kerr effect measurements we reveal the domain pattern evolution as a function of applied field and discuss the role of cubic anisotropy in the domain formation. Rich magnon spectra are observed in the stripe domain states, with a range of excitation conditions providing distinct spectra. The measurements are interpreted using micromagnetic simulations to provide the spatial profiles of each resonance mode. We further simulate domain patterns and resonance spectra accounting for the cubic anisotropy, with good correlation to experiment. This study highlights how noncollinear magnetic domain structures can host complex resonant behavior in a low-damping magnetic material, with potential use in future magnonic applications.
