Propagation of Magnetostatic Surface Waves in a Dissipative Ferrite Plate

Abstract

In the geometry of a plane-parallel in-plane magnetized ferrite plate with dissipation, the dispersion of forward and backward magnetostatic surface waves propagating in an arbitrary direction relative to the field has been investigated. Dispersion curves as functions of the imaginary and real parts of the complex wave number has been constructed. The group velocity of both wave propagation and increase of wave attenuation have been considered. The frequency range of the experimentally observable waves has been estimated at a specified level of sensitivity of the measuring instruments.
