Absztrakt (kivonat):

This paper presents a system-level efficiency analysis, a rapid design methodology, and a numerical demonstration of efficient sub-micron, spin-wave transducers in a microwave system. Applications such as Boolean spintronics, analog spin-wave-computing, and magnetic microwave circuits are expected to benefit from this analysis and design approach. These applications have the potential to provide a low-power, magnetic paradigm alternative to modern electronic systems, but they have been stymied by a limited understanding of the microwave, system-level design for spin-wave circuits. This paper proposes an end-to-end microwave/spin-wave system model that permits the use of classical microwave network analysis and matching theory towards analyzing and designing efficient transduction systems. This paper further compares magnetostatic-wave transducer theory to electromagnetic simulations and finds close agreement, indicating that the theory, despite simplifying assumptions, is useful for rapid yet accurate transducer design. It further suggests that the theory, when modified to include the exchange interaction, will also be useful to rapidly and accurately design transducers launching magnons at exchange wavelengths. Comparisons are made between microstrip and co-planar waveguide lines, which are expedient, narrowband, and low-efficiency transducers, and grating and meander lines that are capable of high-efficiency and wideband performance. The paper concludes that efficient microwave-to-spin-wave transducers are possible and presents a meander transducer design on YIG capable of launching lambda = 500 nm spin waves with an efficiency of - 4.45 dB and a 3 dB-bandwidth of 134 MHz.
