Spectra of Microwave Oscillations in Ferrospinel Films

Abstract

The absorption spectra of ferrospinel single crystal films obtained by the method of chemical transport reactions are considered. It is demonstrated that along with a homogeneous resonance, additional absorption peaks corresponding to exchange spin modes localized in the surface layer are observed in the absorption spectrum investigated with an EPR spectrometer in the case of perpendicular orientation of the film with respect to an external static magnetic field. Resonant interaction of magnetostatic oscillations with exchange spin modes in the surface layer is detected in the case of tangent magnetization. The width of the magnetostatic layer and the ranges of existence of the surface and volume modes depend on the relationship between the constants of uniaxial surface anisotropy and crystallographic magnetic anisotropy. The wave numbers of the magnetostatic and exchange spin modes, the parameters of inhomogeneous exchange, and the effective magnon masses are calculated.
