Abstract
A finite-temperature perturbation formalism is developed to study the processes of spin-wave interactions in ultrathin ferromagnetic films, including the effects of both the long-range magnetic dipole-dipole interactions and the short-range exchange interactions. By contrast with previous macroscopic methods for evaluating spin-wave interactions, the dipolar terms are treated here within a Hamiltonian method, together with exchange and anisotropy terms, to obtain a theory applicable to ultrathin films at temperatures below the Curie temperature. The contributions to the energy shift and the damping (or reciprocal lifetime) of the dipole-exchange spin waves due to three-magnon and four magnon processes are calculated. Numerical examples are presented.
