They were created by fo-cused ion beam lithography into 25 nm thin permalloy Ni Fe films.80 20GHz SW spectroscopy was performed all electrically by micro- andnanoscale coplanar waveguides. The ADL periodicity ranged from 300to 4000 nm. For 300 nm periodicity, coherent backscattering was found tocause magnonic miniband formation in the SW dispersion and large groupvelocities of 6 km/s. For 800 nm periodicity and long SW wave lengths,the ADL showed signatures of an unstructured plain film with effectiveproperties, i.e. metamaterial behavior. These effectively continuous prop-erties were also found to describe well SW transmission into the ADL.
