Abstract

Metamaterials have enabled a series of major advances in optical devices in the past decade. Here, we suggest a type of hyperbolic metamaterial based on spin canting in magnetic multi-layers. We show that these structures have unique features in microwave waveguides that act as tunable filters. In the resulting band pass filter, we demonstrate an exceptional frequency tunability of 30 GHz with external fields smaller than 500 Oe. Unlike single metallic ferromagnetic films, we also demonstrate a high-frequency band-stop filter at very low fields.
