In ferromagnetic thin films, magnetization dynamics, e.g., driven by ferromagnetic resonance, can coherently couple to phonons. If a ferromagnetic film is deposited on a crystalline substrate with polished parallel faces, the sample stack forms a bulk acoustic resonator, leading to characteristic modifications of the magnetic resonance signal.
In this work, we show that the magnetoelastic coupling can mediate the hybridization of the coherent magnetization dynamics with longitudinal and transverse phonons, with a particular dependence on the orientation of the magnetic field. We extract the magnetoelastic coupling parameters and compare them with theoretical expectations. Our results show that both longitudinal and transverse phonons can be efficiently excited, depending on the magnetic field orientation.
