ABSTRACT
We report on the design, fabrication, and characterization of compact tunable yttrium iron garnet (YIG)-based RF resonators based on μm-sized spin-wave cavities. Inductive antennas with both ladder and meander configurations were used as transducers between spin waves and RF signals. The excitation of ferromagnetic resonance and standing spin waves in the YIG cavities led to sharp resonances with quality factors up to 350. The observed spectra were in excellent agreement with a model based on the spin-wave dispersion relations in YIG, showing a high magnetic field tunability of about 29 MHz/mT.
This work received funding from the imec.xpand fund. The authors would like to thank Patrick Vandenameele and Peter Vanbekbergen for their support of the project and Xavier Rottenberg, Kristof Vaesen, and Barend van Liempd for many valuable discussions.
