Abstract:
The propagation of surface and backward volume magnetostatic waves in a saturated ferrite garnet film of the composition Lu$_{2.1}$Bi$_{0.9}$Fe$_5$O$_{12}$ is investigated. Comparison of the experimentally obtained dispersion dependences with the results of numerical modeling allows us to conclude that the saturation magnetization is non-uniformly distributed across the film thickness. It is shown that in the low-frequency region of the spectrum, the losses due to propagation of surface magnetostatic waves are comparable with a similar parameter in a yttrium iron garnet film obtained using liquid-phase epitaxy. In the range of magnetization field values 0 $<H<$ 400 Oe, the possibility of observing spin-wave excitations of the domain structure is shown.
