Characteristics of Magnetostatic Surface Waves for a Metalized Ferrite Slab

Abstract

Detailed calculations of the characteristics of the magnetostatic surface waves in a ferrite slab with a metalized surface are presented. The region of validity of the effective boundary condition model (EBCM) discussed by Seshadri is established. It is shown that the dispersion characteristics of overlayed magnetic systems can be modified and tailored to have a variety of frequency‐versus‐wavenumber properties. In general the modes are lossy and the degree of damping depends critically on the characteristic lengths of the problem.
