Abstract

A perturbation formalism is employed to study nonlinear processes for the interactions between the discrete spin waves in ferromagnetic films, taking account of both dipole-dipole and exchange coupling. By contrast with previous macroscopic theories of spin-wave interactions the dipolar terms are treated within a Hamiltonian method to obtain results applicable to ultrathin films. The roles of three-magnon and four-magnon processes in the spin-wave energy shift and damping are evaluated and numerical applications to EuO are discussed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
