Nonlinear ferromagnetic resonance
•

•
Ferromagnetic sample is placed in perpendicular dc
and rf (with frequencies in the GHz range) magnetic
fields.
The uniform precession of magnetization (uniform
mode) is excited in the sample by the rf field. In the
coincidence regime the rf field frequency wp is close to
the uniform mode frequency wo.
If the rf field amplitude hT exceeds a certain threshold
hthr, the uniform mode decays into spin-wave pairs.
The measured quantity is usually absorption in the
sample, which is proportional to the uniform mode
amplitude.
As the rf field amplitude is increased, periodic (with
frequencies in the range of kHz) and then chaotic
oscillations of absorption appear.

The above Hamiltonian contains non-resonant three-mode interaction terms,
e.g., U k1 ,k2 ,0ak1 ak2 a0 . Such terms should be removed by another canonical
transformation, which, however, should leave the resonant terms
(e.g., Vk,k,0ak ak a0 ) intact.
The removal of all non-resonant terms from H3 influences the higher-order
terms in the Hamiltonian.
However, since the basic nonlinear process in the case under study is the 1storder Suhl instability (the resonant three-mode process), the higher-order
terms in the Hamiltonian can be subsequently neglected.
The second quasi-canonical transformation
Let us assume that only the uniform mode (denoted by zero) is directly excited
by the rf field and has frequency close to wp, and the spin-wave pairs have
frequencies close to wp/2. Then the following transformation removes the nonresonant terms from H3:

Just above the threshold only one (critical) spin-wave pair is excited; if hT
exceeds much the threshold, other pairs with frequency close to w p/2 can be
excited. However, experimental results (low correlation dimension of chaotic
attractors, etc.) suggest that even deeply in the chaotic regime the oscillations
of absorption appear due to interactions of a small number of spin-wave pairs
with the uniform mode.

• The model with one spin-wave pair ( with a2=0) shows transition to chaos
via period-doubling,
•Inclusion of a second spin-wave pair, with higher Suhl instability threshold,
can lead to quasiperiodicity, Pomeau-Maneville type-III intermittency, etc.
•The chaotic behavior of the models with one or two spin-wave pairs is in
qualitative agreement with experiments on spin-wave chaos in the
coincidence regime.

Conclusions
• Systematic derivation of the equations of motion for spinwave amplitudes in the coincidence regime of nonlinear
ferromagnetic resonance above the 1-st order Suhl instability
threshold was presented,
• The non-resonant three-mode interaction terms can be
removed by means of the quasi-canonical transformation,
which leaves only resonant three-mode terms in the
Hamiltonian, and the higher-order terms can be neglected,
• The model equations with one or two parametric spin-wave
pairs show transition to chaos via, e.g., period doubling,
quasi-periodicity, Pomeau-Maneville intermittency, etc., and
the results of simulations are in qualitative agreement with
experimental results.
