Abstract A novel patterning technique that creates magnetization patterns in a continuous magnetostrictive
film with surface acoustic waves is demonstrated. Patterns of 10 μm wide stripes of alternating
magnetization and a 3 μm dot of reversed magnetization are written using standing and focusing
acoustic waves, respectively. The magnetization pattern is size-tunable, erasable, and rewritable by
changing the magnetic field and acoustic power. This versatility, along with its solid-state
implementation (no moving parts) and electronic control, renders it as a promising technique for
application in magnetic recording, magnonic signal processing, magnetic particle manipulation,
and spatial magneto-optical modulation.
