Spin dynamics in ferromagnetic antidot lattices — •Sebastian Neusser, Bernhard Botters, Georg Dürr, and Dirk Grundler — Lehrstuhl für Physik funktionaler Schichtsysteme, Technische Universität München, Physik Department,James-Franck-Str. 1, D-85747 Garching b. München, Deutschland

Our recent work on spin dynamics in antidot lattices is presented. We present a semi-analytical approach allowing the identification of the distinct eigenmodes of antidot lattices [1]. We find, both, extended modes spanning through the lattice and localized modes residing in individual unit cells. The influence of these modes on spin-wave propagation is discussed in the light of the emerging research field of magnonics; we find for antidot lattices that propagation is tailored by the orientation of the external field. Furthermore, we present experimental data of broadband ferromagnetic resonance performed on such systems [2] in good agreement with our theoretical predictions. Mode localization for different angles of the external field with the antidot lattice unit cell axis is discussed.
