Abstract

Conventional microwave ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) techniques have proven very useful in the investigation of coupled magnetic multilayer systems. Here we show theoretically that with sufficiently high powers, a microwave magnetic field applied either parallel or perpendicular to the dc field, can drive nonlinear effects. The Landau–Lifschitz equation is used to obtain the nonlinear equations of motion for the two normal modes of a coupled two-layer system. In the usual FMR configuration, only the acoustic mode is coupled to the driving field. However, for driving fields above a critical value, energy can be transferred to the optic mode, in a process similar to the subsidiary resonance observed in spin-wave systems. At higher driving the system may display well-known transitions to chaos.
