The structure of high-frequency fields of a surface spin wave in a tangentially magnetized ferrite plate

Abstract

Vector lines of the high-frequency magnetic field, magnetic induction, and magnetization of a surface spin wave in a tangentially magnetized ferrite plate are calculated. It is found that the magnetic induction vector lines form contrariwise directed curls that are localized near the opposite surfaces of the plate. It is shown that the structure of the magnetic induction of a spin wave and the change of its electric field are interdependent: in the ferrite layer, there is a plane on which the electric field amplitude is zero and which is simultaneously a boundary between the curls of the magnetic induction. It is found out that the directions of the magnetic field and wave magnetic induction vectors are substantially different in the ferrite plate, although these vectors coincide in the half-spaces surrounding the plate.
