A note on the theory of spin wave resonance in spiral structures

The appearance of two resonant modes of spin waves with different non-zero wave vectors is theoretically predicted for a magnetic arrangement of the type of an antiferromagnetic spiral combined with weak antiferromagnetism in the direction of the spiral axis. A study is made of the question of the Hamiltonian suitable for possible applications of the chosen magnetic arrangement, and the possibility of energetic stability of the considered magnetic structure for two concrete realistic forms of the Hamiltonian is pointed out.The author expresses his sincere thanks for valuable discussions and stimulating comments to Dr. S.
