Modulus and Orientation of the Poynting Vector of a Surface Spin Wave in a Tangentially Magnetized Ferrite Plate
摘要
Abstract
Based on the theory describing the propagation of electromagnetic waves in a tangentially magnetized bi-gyrotropic layer, modulus P and the orientation of the Poynting vector are investigated for a special case of such a layer: an arbitrary surface–surface spin wave (the distribution of which over the layer’s thickness is described by two different wave numbers) in a ferrite plate. It is found that modulus P of the Poynting vector exhibits a jumpwise change on the surfaces of the plate, taking maximum values on both its surfaces. Most of the wave energy is localized near the surface, where the value of the Poynting vector is highest.
