Tunability of spin-wave spectra in a 2D triangular shaped magnonic fractals.

Reprogramming the structure of the magnonic bands during their operation is important for controlling spin waves in magnonic devices. Here, we report the tunability of the spin-wave spectra for a triangular shaped deterministic magnonic fractal, which is known as Sierpinski triangle by solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation using a micromagnetic simulations. The spin-wave dynamics change significantly with the variation of iteration number. A wide frequency gap is observed for a structure with an iteration number exceeding some value and a plenty of mini-frequency bandgaps at structures with high iteration number. The frequency gap could be controlled by varying the strength of the magnetic field. The calculated sixfold symmetry in the frequency band gap is also observed with the variation of the azimuthal angle of the external magnetic field. The spatial distributions of the spin-wave modes allow to identify the bands surrounding the gap. The observations are important for the application of magnetic fractals as a reconfigurable aperiodic magnonic crystals.&#xD.
