The low Gilbert damping of the Heusler compound Co2Mn0.6Fe0.4Si (CMFS) makes the material a promising candidate for the utilization in perspective magnon-spintronic devices [1].
We present the nonlinear emission of spin-wave caustics [2] from a localized edge mode [3] in a CMFS waveguide at twice and three times the excitation frequency observed by Brillouin light scattering microscopy. The propagation characteristics of these strongly directed beams are confirmed by analytic modeling using the anisotropic dispersion for spin waves in magnetic thin films.
