Interference patterns of propagating spin wave in spin-Hall oscillator arrays

Abstract

In this study, we discuss the observation of spin-wave interference generated by magnetic oscillators. We employ micromagnetic simulations for two coherent spin-Hall nanowire oscillators positioned nearby, horizontally or vertically. The two nanowires produce circular waves with short wavelengths on the order of 100 nm, which interfere with each other. In the horizontal configuration, the spin waves exhibit constructive and destructive fringes, indicating amplification or cancellation of the amplitudes, respectively. The synchronization of spin waves in the current geometry of the two nanowires is facilitated by the combination of dipolar fields and propagating spin waves. Additionally, the vertical alignment results in standing spin waves characterized by multiple antinodes and nodes. These observations are interpreted using a wave model that incorporates the superposition principle for each case.
