Temperature dependence of exchange stiffness in garnet bubble films

Abstract
The temperature dependence of the exchange stiffness is taken into account to predict the room‐temperature exchange stiffness of substituted YIG films for bubble applications. A simple theory leads to the linear relation of A(T,TN) = AYIG(T)[TN−T)/(TN, YIGT)] where AYIG(T) is the exchange stiffness of YIG at the ambient temperature T and A(T,TN) is the exchange constant at T of a film with Neél temperature TN. This relation is in reasonable agreement with the recent spin‐wave resonance data of Henry and Heinz.
