Simulation of Magnetostatic Wave Envelope Soliton Propagation in Yttrium Iron Garnet Films

Abstract

Although formation and propagation of magnetostatic soliton waves in YIG (yttrium iron garnet) films are attracting great attention, there has been no discussion about simulating soliton formation and propagation in YIG films from the viewpoint of circuit analysis and simulation. In this report, we propose a new algorithm to simulate the magnetostatic soliton wave output. We first describe the linear magnetostatic wave equivalent circuit model we have developed and then discuss the simulation algorithm, which combines the linear equivalent circuit model and the soliton wave solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The simulated results are in excellent agreement with reported experimental results. We also find that the proposed simulation is very effective to determine various physical parameters in the YIG film for given experimental conditions.
