Surface spin waves have an imaginary wave-vector component k across the film thickness, which leads to a localization of this mode to one surface of the film and the highly non-reciprocal propagation behaviour. This component is proportional to the in-plane wave-vector component k, which is perpendicular to the magnetization. But as long as both surfaces of the film are equal and the film itself has homogenous material parameters across its thickness the frequency of spin waves with wave vectors +k and −k are degenerate. This symmetry is broken in a magnetic bilayer system leading to frequency shift between counter-propagating spin waves.

We present the investigation of the spin wave spectrum of a Ni (25 nm) / NiFe (25 nm) bilayer film employing wave-vector resolved Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy and micromagnetic simulations. We find that the dispersion relation can be manipulated effectively, which is an important property for future magnonic computing devices.
