Abstract

The magnetostatic surface waves (MSSW) propagation in a layered structure composed of ferrite film covered by air and on top of metamaterial (MTM) placed on metal is discussed. Dispersion equations which relate the parameters of different layers are derived and used to analyse propagation of MSSW. It is found that the MSSW excitation band depends on the thickness of the MTM layer and ferrite layer.

Summary

Introduction

Metamaterial (MTM) is a manmade material with negative value for both permittivity and permeability at a certain frequency. The transverse electric (TE) wave propagation in a structure consists of MTM film surrounded by a metal substrate and a magnetized ferrite cover bounded by air is investigated. The dissipative MTM film has both permittivity εM and permeability μM depending on the frequency (ω) as follows: εM. Where the variation with z-direction is assumed to be zero, i indicates f for Ferrite layer, M for MTMs layer, and l for the linear cladding layer (air), ql = k0, qf 1⁄4 k0 pffiεffifffiffiμffiffiffivffi , qM = k0εM, k0 = ω/c and μ 1⁄4 , μ211−μ212 v μ11 which is called the Voigt permeability. The limiting frequencies for MSSW free ferrite film are expressed as follows (Damon and Eshbach 1961): qffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi ωs 1⁄4 ω2H þ ωH ωM ð8Þ ωfin 1⁄4 ωH þ ωM=2.
