The manipulation of the propagation properties of spin waves is of high importance to develop systems that can transport information using the spin wave as information carrier. One way to manipulate these properties is the use of magnetic tunnel barriers. We investigated the tunneling of spin waves through a mechanical gap in microstructured stripes made of Ni₈₁Fe₁₉. The focus of this work is on the investigation of the transmission of spin waves with varying wavelengths through a tunnel barrier with respect to the position of the gap. It is shown that quantization effects play an important role in the transmission behavior of tunneling spin waves in microscaled systems. The region between the excitation antenna and the gap acts as a spin-wave resonator. It has a large influence not only on the excitation properties but also on the transmission characteristics. We present Brillouin light scattering microscopy measurements revealing a strong influence of pinning effects of standing spin-wave modes inside this resonator on the tunneling efficiency.
