Magnetic materials can support propagating waves of
magnetization; since these are oscillations in the magnetostatic
properties of the material, they are called magnetostatic waves
(sometimes magnons or magnetic polarons ). Under the proper
circumstances these waves can exhibit, either dispersive or
nondispersive, isotropic or anisotropic propagation,
nonreciprocity, frequency-selective nonlinearities, soliton
propagation, and chaotic behavior. This rich variety of behavior
has led to a number of proposed applications in microwave and
optical signal processing.
This book begins by introducing magnetism and discusses magnetic
properties of materials, magnetic moments of atoms and ions, and
the elements important to magnetism. It then goes on to cover
magnetic susceptibilities, electromagnetic waves in anisotropic
dispersive media, magnetostatic modes, and propagation
characteristics and excitation of magnetostatic waves among other
topics. There are problems at the end of each chapter, many of
which serve to expand or explain the material in the text. The
bibliographies for each chapter give an entry to the research
literature. Spin Waves: Theory and Applications serves not only as
an introduction to an active area of research, but also as a
reference for workers in the field."
