contents Artificial spin-ice systems, consisting of arrays of interacting ferromagnetic nanoelements, offer a versatile platform for reconfigurable magnonics with potential in GHz logic and neuromorphic computing. However, weak dipolar coupling between nanoelements severely limits their functionality. We numerically demonstrate a rich spin-wave spectrum in a square spin-ice structure immersed in a perpendicularly magnetized ferromagnetic matrix, which is different from a single spin-ice system. We observe a strong magnon-magnon coupling between the bulk second-order mode of the nanoelements and the fundamental mode of the matrix, supported by a pronounced anticrossing frequency gap. We show that, in addition to the dipolar coupling, exchange interactions at the nanoelement-matrix interface play a crucial role in this hybridization. Furthermore, the strength of the coupling can be enhanced by almost 40% just by reconfiguring the magnetization at the vertices from low-energy to high-energy monopole states. These results open the way to exploit artificial spin-ice systems for magnonic applications, taking advantage of the strong coupling and vertex-dependent dynamics.
