Features of Dispersion Characteristics of Surface Spin Waves in Coupled Antiferromagnetic Films with Easy-Axis Anisotropy

Abstract

Propagation of magnetostatic spin waves in a layered structure consisting of two vertically coupled via a nonmagnetic dielectric layer antiferromagnetic (AFM) films has been studied. The results of calculation of the dispersion dependence for the AFM films with an easy-axis anisotropy are presented. It has been shown that splitting of coupled modes occurs in the region of AFM resonance frequencies. The behavior of coupled modes as a function of the parameter of coupling between films has been studied.
