Microwave whirlpools in a rectangular-waveguide cavity with a thin ferrite disk

We study a three dimensional system of a rectangular-waveguide resonator with an inserted thin ferrite disk. The interplay of reflection and transmission at the disk interfaces together with material gyrotropy effect, gives rise to a rich variety of wave phenomena. We analyze the wave propagation based on full Maxwell-equation numerical solutions of the problem. We show that the power-flow lines of the microwave-cavity field interacting with a ferrite disk, in the proximity of its ferromagnetic resonance, form whirlpool-like electromagnetic vortices. Such vortices are characterized by the dynamical symmetry breaking. The role of ohmic losses in waveguide walls and dielectric and magnetic losses in a disk is a subject of our investigations

Eigen electric moments of magnetic-dipolar modes in quasi-2D ferrite disk particles

A property associated with a vortex structure becomes evident from an analysis of confinement phenomena of magnetic oscillations in a quasi-2D ferrite disk with a dominating role of magnetic-dipolar (non-exchange-interaction) spectra. The vortices are guaranteed by the chiral edge states of magnetic-dipolar modes which result in appearance of eigen electric moments oriented normally to the disk plane. Due to the eigen-electric-moment properties, a ferrite disk placed in a microwave cavity is strongly affected by the cavity RF electric field with a clear evidence for multi-resonance oscillations. For different cavity parameters, one may observe the "resonance absorption" and "resonance repulsion" behaviors

Mesoscopic quantized properties of magnetic-dipolar-mode oscillations in disk ferromagnetic particles

Magnetic dipolar mode or magnetostatic (MS) oscillations in ferrite samples have the wavelength much smaller than the electromagnetic wavelength at the same frequency and, at the same time, much larger than the exchange interaction spin wavelength. This intermediate position between the electromagnetic and spin wave (exchange interaction) processes reveals very special behaviors of the geometrical effects. It was shown recently that magnetic dipolar mode oscillations in a normally magnetized ferromagnetic disk are characterized by discrete energy levels resulting from the structural confinement. In this article we give results of the energy spectra in MS wave ferrite disks taking into account nonhomogeneity of the internal DC magnetic field
