Time Resolved Scanning Kerr Microscopy of Structures in thin ferromagnetic Films — •Jan-Niklas Toedt, Sebastian Mansfeld, Jesco Topp, Kim Martens, Daniel Mellem, Wolfgang Hansen, Detlef Heitman, and Stefan Mendach — Institute of Applied Physics, University of Hamburg

We study the behavior of planar Damon-Eshbach spin-waves in thin structured ferromagnetic films utilizing time resolved scanning Kerr microscopy (TR-SKM) [1]. We have investigated spin waves incident on a range of structures including gratings, double slits and modulated films. We show that the underlying physics can be explained by the anisotropy of the dispersion relation leading, e.g., to sub wavelength imaging [2, 3].

We gratefully acknowledge support by the DFG via SFB 668, SFB 508, GrK 1286, and by the City of Hamburg via the Cluster of Excellence Nano-Spintronics.
