Spin-Texture Driven Reconfigurable Magnonics In Chains Of Connected Ni80fe20 Submicron Dots

Topological magnonics has attracted intense interest for application in energy efficient computational devices. Here, we show reconfigurable magnonic band structure and band gap by a bias-field controlled spin texture in chains of connected Ni80Fe20 submicron dots. Particularly for an identical field value, we achieve both "S" and shifted-core vortex states based on magnetic history leading to a drastic change in magnonic band structure. A first-order phase transition from the saturation to vortex state drives this change, as opposed to a continuous change from the saturation to S state.
