Topological properties of microwave magnetoelectric fields.

Collective excitations of electron spins in a ferromagnetic sample dominated by the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction strongly influence the field structure of microwave radiation. A small quasi-two-dimensional ferrite disk with magnetic-dipolar-mode (MDM) oscillation spectra can behave as a source of specific fields in vacuum, termed magnetoelectric (ME) fields. A coupling between the time-varying electric and magnetic fields in the ME-field structures is different from such a coupling in regular electromagnetic fields.

Microwave magnetoelectric fields and their role in the matter-field interaction.

We show that in a source-free subwavelength region of microwave fields, there can exist field structures with a local coupling between the time-varying electric and magnetic fields differing from the electric-magnetic coupling in regular-propagating free-space electromagnetic waves. To distinguish such field structures from regular electromagnetic (EM) field structures, we term them as magnetoelectric (ME) fields. We study a structure and conservation laws of microwave ME near fields.

Helical-mode magnetostatic resonances in small ferrite particles and singular metamaterials.

Small ferrite-disk particles with magnetostatic (magneto-dipole) oscillations are characterized by the topological-phase states-the vortex states. In a recently published paper (Kamenetskii et al 2010 Phys. Rev.

Magnetic-dipolar and electromagnetic vortices in quasi-2D ferrite discs.

Magnetic-dipolar-mode (MDM) oscillations in a quasi-2D ferrite disc show unique dynamical symmetry properties resulting in the appearance of topologically distinct structures. Based on the magnetostatic (MS) spectral problem solutions, in this paper we give evidence for eigen-MS power-flow-density vortices in a ferrite disc. Due to these circular eigen-power flows, the MDMs are characterized by MS energy eigenstates.

Microwave whirlpools in a rectangular waveguide cavity with a thin ferrite disk.

We study a three-dimensional system of a rectangular waveguide resonator with an inserted thin ferrite disk. The interplay of reflection and transmission at the disk interfaces together with a material gyrotropy effect, gives rise to a rich variety of wave phenomena. We analyze the wave propagation based on full Maxwell-equation numerical solutions of the problem.
