Abstract: | General dispersion equations for the magnetostatic modes in infinite and semi-infinite superlattices are derived by the transfer matrix method for the case of superlattices with an elementary unit consisting of N (N arbitrary) ferromagnetic layers. The films are assumed to be magnetized parallel to the film surfaces and parallel to an external magnetic field. Explicit forms of the dispersion equations, together with exemplary dispersion curves of surface modes and bands of bulk waves, are given in the case of N = 2. |
