Notes:
The nonlinear dynamics of magnetoexchange modes in two films of yttrium iron garnet (YIG) with similar low-power spectra, but different mode densities have been investigated at perpendicular resonance. In this configuration, the resonances are not degenerate with a large number of short wavelength spin-wave modes as in bulk samples, and the density of modes near the resonances can be varied by adjusting the sample dimensions. Domains of auto-oscillation in applied field–pumping field parameter space appear to arise as fingers from each mode in the low-power spectrum. Differences between the behavior of the two samples are attributed to excitation of hidden modes from a degenerate exchange branch, exited through a process analogous to a second-order Suhl instability. A model of this system is proposed in which nonlinear interactions between modes are solely due to the shape demagnetization field. The resulting equations of motion have been integrated numerically using parameters determined from low-power FMR and from knowledge of the sample shape. Including only the modes from the main branch of the magnetoexchange spectrum that couple directly to a uniform pumping field, these calculations predict the frequency of auto-oscillation of the first finger to within 15% and predict the power at onset to within 1 dB. Hidden modes from the main branch may play an important role in the dynamics of the other fingers. We believe this to be the most accurate prediction of an auto-oscillation frequency in a magnetic system yet published.
