Yttrium iron garnet (YIG) is a unique material with outstanding magnetic properties such as the lowest known spin-wave damping. It is therefore well suited for the investigation of fundamental spin-wave dynamics and a promising candidate for the application in spin-wave based circuits and logic devices. In this work, we investigate spin-wave conduits fabricated from a thin YIG(27nm)/Pt(10nm) bi-layer system with varying width ranging from microns down to about 100nm. The investigation of the magnetic properties, e.g. the ferromagnetic resonance linewidth (FMR), in dependency of the width of the structure is carried out by means of spin transfer torque ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy (ST-FMR). In addition, the impact of an applied dc-current on the linewidth is examined. This research has been supported by ERC Starting Grant 678309 MagnonCircuits and DFG Grant DU 1427/2-1.
