Role of boundaries in micromagnetic calculations of magnonic spectra of arrays of magnetic nanoelements
Role of boundaries in micromagnetic calculations of magnonic spectra of arrays of magnetic nanoelements
We have used micromagnetic simulations performed with open and periodic boundary conditions to study the influence of the presence of array boundaries on the spectra and spatial profiles of collective spin wave excitations in arrays of magnetic nanoelements. The spectra and spatial profiles of collective spin waves excited in isolated arrays of nanoelements and those forming a part of quasi-infinite arrays are qualitatively different even if the same excitation field is used in the simulations. In particular, the use of periodic boundary conditions suppresses the excitation of non-uniform collective modes by uniform excitation fields. However, the use of non-uniform excitation fields in combination with periodic boundary conditions is shown to enable investigation of the structure of magnonic dispersion curves for quasi-infinite arrays (magnonic crystals) in different directions in the reciprocal space and for different magnonic bands. The results obtained in the latter case show a perfect agreement with those obtained with the dynamical matrix method for infinite arrays of nanoelements of the same geometry and magnetic properties.

Abstract
We have used micromagnetic simulations performed with open and periodic boundary conditions to study the influence of the presence of array boundaries on the spectra and spatial profiles of collective spin wave excitations in arrays of magnetic nanoelements. The spectra and spatial profiles of collective spin waves excited in isolated arrays of nanoelements and those forming a part of quasi-infinite arrays are qualitatively different even if the same excitation field is used in the simulations. In particular, the use of periodic boundary conditions suppresses the excitation of non-uniform collective modes by uniform excitation fields. However, the use of non-uniform excitation fields in combination with periodic boundary conditions is shown to enable investigation of the structure of magnonic dispersion curves for quasi-infinite arrays (magnonic crystals) in different directions in the reciprocal space and for different magnonic bands. The results obtained in the latter case show a perfect agreement with those obtained with the dynamical matrix method for infinite arrays of nanoelements of the same geometry and magnetic properties.
