Measuring spectrum of spin wave using vortex dynamics    [PDF]

Shi-Zeng Lin, Lev N. Bulaevskii

We propose to measure the spectrum of magnetic excitation in magnetic
materials using motion of vortex lattice driven by both ac and dc current in
superconductors. When the motion of vortex lattice is resonant with oscillation
of magnetic moments, the voltage decreases at a given current. From transport
measurement, one can obtain frequency of the magnetic excitation with the wave
number determined by vortex lattice constant. By changing the lattice constant
through applied magnetic fields, one can obtains the spectrum of the magnetic
excitation up to a wave vector of order $10\rm{\ nm^{-1}}$.
