Abstract

The magnitude of the spin wave stiffness parameter. D and its dependence on temperature in YIG, Fe3O4 and Li-Zn ferrite has been examined and compared with theory. It is shown that values of D obtained using the exchange constants that satisfactorily explain the equilibrium magnetic properties of these systems yield results in agreement with experiment for YIG and Fe3O4 but are inappropriate for the Li-Zn ferrite. The temperature dependence of D in YIG and Fe3O4 is satisfactorily explained on the basis of the interaction of acoustic magnons with optic magnons.
