Distribution of the amplitude of the magnetic potential of diffractive beams generated in a ferrite slab by a surface spin wave incident on a slit in an opaque screen

详细

The total magnetic potential generated in the far field of a ferrite slab as a result of a plane noncollinear surface spin wave incident on a slit in an opaque screen is investigated. The dependence of the potential amplitude from the polar angle in the plane of a ferrite slab is calculated for different orientations of the screen with relative to an external magnetic field magnetizing the slab. It is found that two diffractive beams are generated in the slab as a result of spin diffraction on the slit. The angular width of each beam depends largely on the slit’s orientation and can be greater or smaller than value λ_n/D (where D is the slit’s width and λ_n is the length of the spin wave corresponding to each beam).
