Simultaneous observation of magnetostatic backward volume waves and surface waves in single crystal barium ferrite platelets with in-plane easy axis

摘要

Resonances corresponding to backward volume magnetostatic waves as well as magnetostatic surface waves have been observed in single crystal barium hexaferrite rectangular platelets with in-plane easy axis. Samples placed directly on waveguide wall or on a quartz substrate show a surface mode. A series of backward volume wave modes in the U-band are observed, with the sample placed on quartz showing a relatively few modes. Data on H-dependence of the mode frequency have been obtained for both kinds of magnetostatic waves and theoretical estimates of the mode frequencies are in reasonable agreement with the data. Quality-factor for the modes is in the range 400-750. The results are of interest for non-reciprocal ferrite devices in the U-band.
