摘要
Recent experiments in Co/CoO layered structures have shown a huge effect where the frequency of the lowest spin wave in the ferromagnetic Co has been doubled, apparently due to the interaction with antiferromagnetic CoO. We explore a microscopic model for spin waves in such coupled structures which can explain such an effect. In this model a magnetic material with a significant anisotropy is exchange coupled to a different magnetic material with minimal anisotropy. The shift in the spin-wave frequency increases as either the anisotropy or interface exchange is increased.
