| contents | Hybrid magnon-phonon cavities with precise control knobs are highly sought after for coherent energy and signal transduction in solid-state platforms. While strain offers a powerful means to tune magnonic characteristics, extending strain engineering into magnon-phonon hybridization has remained elusive. Moreover, implementing controllable strain at the meso- or nanoscale poses a formidable challenge, as spatial inhomogeneity of strain fields often leads to enhanced damping and reduced coherence, thereby hindering device integration and scalability. Here, we present an epitaxial La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/SrTiO3 (LSMO/STO) heterostructure that exhibits strong coupling between the Kittel magnon and acoustic phonon. Leveraging the emergence of structural domains when STO undergoes a cubic-to-tetragonal phase transition, we create anisotropic local strains at the interface. Remarkably, the anisotropic local strain of less than 0.1 % drives the pronounced splitting of the magnon into three branches. Each branch independently hybridizes with acoustic phonons, forming a matrix of magnon-phonon avoided crossings that underpins multimode transduction and programmable networks in frequency and magnetic field space. An analytical model reveals that the split magnon branches are deterministically locked to the three main crystalline axes, enabling robust, orientation-selective control of the hybridized magnon-phonon spectrum against spatial inhomogeneity. Our results establish designed local strain as an exceptionally sensitive trigger for multimode magnon-phonon hybridization in magnetoelastic oxide heterostructures, and highlight local strain engineering as a viable strategy for designing tunable hybrid magnonic and phononic devices. |
