    Surface spin waves in superconducting and insulating ferromagnets

    Full text link
    Surface magnetization waves are studied on a semi-infinite magnetic medium in the perpendicular geometry. Both superconducting and insulating ferromagnets are considered. Exchange and dipole energies are taken into account, as well as retardation effects. At large wave vectors, the spectrum for a superconductor and insulator is the same, though for the former the branch is terminated much earlier than for the latter due to excitation of plasmons. At small wave vectors, the surface wave is more robust in the superconductor since it is separated from the bulk continuum by a finite gap.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure

    Triplet Josephson effect with magnetic feedback

    Full text link
    We study AC Josephson effect in a superconductor-ferromagnet heterostructure with a variable magnetic configuration. The system supports triplet proximity correlations whose dynamics is coupled to the magnetic dynamics. This feedback dramatically modifies the behavior of the junction. The current-phase relation becomes double-periodic at both very low and high Josephson frequencies ωJ\omega_J. At intermediate frequencies, the periodicity in ωJt\omega_J t may be lost.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure

    Fully developed triplet proximity effect

    Full text link
    We present a model for fully developed triplet proximity effect in superconductor-ferromagnet heterostructures. Within the circuit-theory approximation, we evaluate the Green's functions, the density of states, and the Josephson current that depend essentially on the magnetization configuration.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

    Microwave Response and Spin Waves in Superconducting Ferromagnets

    Full text link
    Excitation of spin waves is considered in a superconducting ferromagnetic slab with the equilibrium magnetization both perpendicular and parallel to the surface. The surface impedance is calculated and its behavior near propagation thresholds is analyzed. Influence of non-zero magnetic induction at the surface is considered in various cases. The results provide a basis for investigation of materials with coexisting superconductivity and magnetism by microwave response measurements.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figure

    Excitation of Spin Waves in Superconducting Ferromagnets

    Full text link
    This Letter presents a theoretical analysis of propagation of spin waves in a superconducting ferromagnet. The surface impedance was calculated for the case when the magnetization is normal to the sample surface. We found the frequencies at which the impedance and the power absorption have singularities related to the spin wave propagation, and determined the form of these singularities. With a suitable choice of parameters, there is a frequency interval in which two propagating spin waves of the same circular polarization are generated, one of them having a negative group velocity.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, submitted to PR
