Abstract

A theoretical investigation has been made of surface spin waves localized at a (001) surface of a ferromagnetic simple cubic lattice with nearest and next-nearest neighbor exchange interactions. The excitations spectrum for the surface spin waves has been obtained and compared with that for bulk spin waves. A discussion is presented of the manner in which the decay of the spin waves from the surface depends on the values of the exchange integrals. The effect of a surface anisotropy field on the surface spin wave excitation spectrum and on the decay from the surface are considered.
