Abstract

The excitation of ferromagnetic magnons by a macroscopic time-varying magnetic field is analyzed quantum mechanically. The quantization of the spin excitations is made by the method of Holstein and Primakoff, generalized for the case of a general nonuniform static field. Both linear and nonlinear excitation mechanisms are considered, with the driving field being either perpendicular or parallel to the static field. Particular attention is given to the coherence properties of the magnon states generated.
