Controlling the three dimensional propagation of spin waves in continuous ferromagnetic films with an increasing out of plane undulation

Abstract The role of three-dimensionality in a ferromagnetic medium in ruling the propagation properties of spin-waves (SW) has been one of the main focuses of the research activity in recent years. In this context, we investigate the evolution of the SW dispersion (frequency vs wave vector) induced...
