Signal storage in magnonic quasicrystals using a slow spin-wave mode, rather than the quasinormal mode of traditional periodic magnonic crystals, is proposed, which is analogous to the slow light mode in the field of optics. Compared to traditional materials, richer and more wavelength-selective sharp resonances are achieved using the quasicrystals with a fewer number of layers, because of the peculiar fractal transmission spectra of quasicrystals. The number of sharp resonance and the quality factor for the sharp resonances in the transmission spectra also increases as the generation order of the magnonic quasicrystal increases. This generic nature allows the storage of signals using spin wave, for a wide range of quasiperiodic systems.
We present the branching rules of the energy spectrum for a one-dimensional Fibonacci array of AB rings with an arbitrary generation based on the band map diagram. A band edge equation with the recursive scheme is used in calculating the band map to avoid numerical instability. We find that the energy spectrum for the Fibonacci AB rings with an arbitrary generation can be divided to several regions, each of which has a similar pattern. As the generation order is greater than two, the characteristics of the subbands branching in each region, including the zero transmission lines, the enveloped group bands, the major subgaps, convergence of the group bands and major subgaps for a higher generation, and number of splitting subbands in each group band for an arbitrary generation, have been proposed in the study. Moreover, electron localization in the major subgaps of the Fibonacci rings is demonstrated by the transmission spectra.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
