Volume Magnetostatic Spin Waves in 3D Ferromagnetic Structures

Abstract

Propagation of volume spin magnetostatic waves in meander-shaped ferromagnetic films with vertically and horizontally coupled segments is studied. Conditions under which forward and backward volume magnetostatic waves simultaneously exist in the films are determined. Micromagnetic simulation and expansion in terms of plane waves are used to calculate internal effective magnetic fields and dispersion characteristics of the waves in such structures. Spectra of coupled waves in meander-shaped vertically coupled ferromagnetic films are studied. Prospects for application of the above structures in the development of magnonic elements are analyzed.
