Abstract
A simple quantum model is presented for the spin wave energy gap in single-layer and thin magnetic films that include both the magnetic out-of-plane and in-plane anisotropies. The films are assumed to be under the influence of the out-of-plane direction of the applied magnetic field at zero temperature. The calculated equations present a nonzero spin wave gap at zero magnetic field which is strongly affected by anisotropies. The effects of the film thickness and the role of the applied field are also examined. We discuss the results in connection with experimental data reported for nanocrystalline amorphous CoFeB films with growth-induced anisotropy.
