Abstract

We develop a theoretical framework for inertial spin-wave dynamics in three-dimensional twisted soft-magnetic nanostrips, where curvature and torsion couple with magnetic inertia to generate terahertz (THz) magnetic oscillations. The resulting spin-wave spectra exhibit pronounced nonreciprocity due to effective symmetry breaking arising from geometric chirality and inertial effects. We show that this behavior is governed by a curvature-induced geometric (Berry) phase, which we analytically capture through compact expressions for dispersion relations and spectral linewidths in both nutational (THz) and precessional (GHz) regimes. Topological variations, including Möbius and helical geometries, impose distinct wave number quantization rules, elucidating the role of topology in spin-wave transport. These results position twisted magnetic strips as a viable platform for curvilinear THz magnonics and nonreciprocal spintronic applications.
