Nonlinear ferromagnetic resonance

• Ferromagnetic sample is placed in perpendicular dc and rf (with frequencies in the GHz range) magnetic fields.

• The uniform precession of magnetization (uniform mode) is excited in the sample by the rf field. In the coincidence regime the rf field frequency p is close to the uniform mode frequency o.

• If the rf field amplitude hT exceeds a certain threshold hthr, the uniform mode decays into spin-wave pairs.

• The measured quantity is usually absorption in the sample, which is proportional to the uniform mode amplitude.

• As the rf field amplitude is increased, periodic (with frequencies in the range of kHz) and then chaotic oscillations of absorption appear.

The above Hamiltonian contains non-resonant three-mode interaction terms,e.g., . Such terms should be removed by another canonical transformation, which, however, should leave the resonant terms (e.g., ) intact. The removal of all non-resonant terms from H3 influences the higher-order terms in the Hamiltonian. However, since the basic nonlinear process in the case under study is the 1st-order Suhl instability (the resonant three-mode process), the higher-order terms in the Hamiltonian can be subsequently neglected.

Let us assume that only the uniform mode (denoted by zero) is directly excited by the rf field and has frequencyclose to p, and the spin-wave pairs have frequencies close to p/2. Then the following transformation removes the non-resonant terms from H3:

Just above the threshold only one (critical) spin-wave pair is excited; if hT

exceeds much the threshold, other pairs with frequency close to p/2 can be excited. However, experimental results (low correlation dimension of chaotic attractors, etc.) suggest that even deeply in the chaotic regime the oscillations of absorption appear due to interactions of a small number of spin-wave pairs

with the uniform mode.

Model with two spin-wave pairsModel with two spin-wave pairs

• The model with one spin-wave pair ( with a2=0) shows transition to chaos via period-doubling,•Inclusion of a second spin-wave pair, with higher Suhl instability threshold, can lead to quasiperiodicity, Pomeau-Maneville type-III intermittency, etc.•The chaotic behavior of the models with one or two spin-wave pairs is in qualitative agreement with experiments on spin-wave chaos in the coincidence regime.
