Abstract

A Green's function method is used to obtain the spectrum of excitations of two neighboring impurities in a semi-infinite ferromagnet. The equations of motion for Green's functions are determined in the framework of the Heisenberg model. The energies of non-resonant localized modes are calculated as a function of the interaction parameters for the exchange coupling between impurity-spin pairs, host-spin pairs, and impurity-host neighbors, as well as the effective field parameter at the impurity sites. With two impurities the system is less symmetric and has more localized modes when compared with a single impurity case. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
