| contents | The efficient excitation of spin waves is a key challenge in the realization of magnonic devices. We demonstrate the current-driven generation of spin waves in antiferromagnetically coupled magnetic vortices. We employ time-resolved scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (TR-STXM) to directly image the emission of spin waves upon the application of an alternating current flowing directly through the magnetic stack. Micromagnetic simulations allow us to identify the origin of the excitation to be the current-driven Oersted field, which in the present system proves to be orders of magnitude more efficient than the commonly used excitation via stripline antennas. Our numerical studies also reveal that the spin-transfer torque can lead to the emission of spin waves as well, yet only at much higher current amplitudes. By using magnetostrictive materials, we futhermore demonstrate that the direction of the magnon propagation can be steered by increasing the excitation amplitude, which modifies the underlying magnetization profile through an additional anisotropy in the magnetic layers. The demonstrated methods allow for the efficient and tunable excitation of spin waves, marking a significant advance in the generation and control of spin waves in magnonic devices. |
