contents We have developed a simple detection scheme to study spin waves excited by surface acoustic wave (SAW) in ferromagnetic thin films. Metallic antennas made of Ta and a ferromagnetic element are placed along the SAW propagation path. The SAW excites spin waves in the ferromagnetic element and induces acoustoelectric current in the antennas, which are detected as a DC voltage. The DC voltage takes an extremum at the spin wave resonance condition, which demonstrates that the antenna acts as a non-local spin wave detector. The antennas placed before and after the ferromagnetic element along the SAW propagation path can probe spin wave excitation from reflected and transmitted SAWs, respectively. Interestingly, we find characteristics of spin wave excitations that are different for the reflected and transmitted SAWs: the former excites spin waves with larger frequency with broader linewidth compared to the latter. The results show that the antennas act as a non-local spin wave power detector and can be used to map out the spin wave spectra in a unique way, providing insights into the magnon-phonon coupling in magnetic nanostructures fabricated on phononic SAW devices.
