Abstract
A new attraction has been given to nonlinear effects and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) phenomena in single crystal ferrites in recent years, motivated by the availability of high-quality epitaxial thin films of yttrium iron garnet (YIG) and its possible use for microwave signal processing. This work presents experimental investigation of the influence of magnetoelastic interaction on nonlinear FMR behavior in normally magnetized YIG films. It is well known that dipole magnetostatic modes (MSM) representing natural oscillations of magnetization vector in bounded ferrite medium become unstable at high microwave power level [1]. Magnetoelastic interaction was previously shown to exert its influence on the first order spin wave instability threshold in bulk ferrite crystals [2]. Planar YIG film — gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG) substrate structures are high quality resonators and the magnetoelastic excitation of elastic modes must be especially strong in the structures and therefore is expected to influence significantly nonlinear behavior in YIG films. In normally magnetized ferrite films MSM instability is caused by the second order parametric processes. Parametric spin-wave (SW) generation is known to occur above the critical level of exciting microwave power Ps. In this work the second order SW instability of dipole MSM is investigated for resonance interaction of secondary SW with elastic system. Strong magnetoelastic interaction of secondary SW with elastic system takes place provided frequencies and wave-numbers of the secondary SW correspond to dispersion curve crossover region of elastic wave (EW) and spin wave.
