In this work, we overcome such limitations by demonstrating SW propagation in Pt/Co multilayers at a remanent state controlled by stripe domain patterns, using Brillouin light scattering and micromagnetic simulations. We show that parallel stripes with a periodicity around 100 nm exhibit reconfigurability, as the stripes can be rotated by applying the in-plane field without damaging their shape.

Numerical results allow us to identify all observed modes and to explain the differences between two configurations by the unequal contribution of all three magnetization components in the SW dynamics. We find that the experimentally measured non-reciprocal dispersion (for the wavevector perpendicular to the stripes) is not the breaking of time-symmetry but the asymmetry in intensity of the measured signals of two different low-frequency modes, which is due to the inhomogeneous SW amplitude distribution over the multilayer thickness and the limited light penetration depth. Our results pave the way for easy reprogrammability and high energy efficiency in nanomagnonics.},
