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.

Self-induced quasistationary magnetic fields.

The interaction of electromagnetic radiation with temporally dispersive magnetic solids of small dimensions may show very special resonant behaviors. The internal fields of such samples are characterized by magnetostatic-potential scalar wave functions. The oscillating modes have the energy orthogonality properties and unusual pseudoelectric (gauge) fields.

Microwave magnetoelectric particles: an experimental study of oscillating spectrums.

One of the ways to uncover the nature of the microwave magnetoelectric (ME) effect, recently observed in small ferrite resonators with special-form surface metallizations, is a comparative analysis of oscillating spectrums excited by different type rf external fields. Experimental results of the ME coupling in different types of ferrite resonators and different types of surface electrodes are reported and some important conclusions are drawn observing the oscillating spectrums of those particles. A special interest in spectral properties of point ME particles should be found in the field of microwave artificial composite materials-bianisotropic materials.

Energy eigenstates of magnetostatic waves and oscillations.

Effect of excitation of magnetostatic oscillations in a ferrite resonator by the microwave magnetic field was a subject of many publications of more than the last 40 years. The most interesting multiresonance spectrum of absorption peaks one can observe experimentally is a case of disk-form small ferrite resonators. It is shown in this paper that such small ferrite resonators can be considered as "artificial molecular structures" with properties characterized by energy eigenstates of magnetostatic oscillations.
