## Abstract

Low dissipation data processing with spins is one of the promising directions for future information and communication technologies. Despite a signifcant progress, the available magnonic devices are not broadband yet and have restricted capabilities to redirect spin waves. Here we propose a breakthrough approach to the spin wave manipulation in patterned magnetic nanostructures with unmatched characteristics, which exploits spin waves analogous to edge waves propagating along a water-wall boundary. Using theory, micromagnetic simulations and experiment we investigate spin waves propagating along the edges in magnetic structures, under an in-plane DC magnetic field inclined with respect to the edge. The proposed edge spin waves overcome important challenges faced by previous technologies such as the manipulation of the spin wave propagation direction, and they substantially improve the capability of transmitting information at frequencies exceeding 10 GHz. The concept of the edge spin waves allows to design broad range of logic devices such as splitters, interferometers, or edge spin wave transistors with unprecedented characteristics and potentially strong impact on information technologies.
