【 摘 要 】

Here we introduce a Landau-Lifshitz-based diagonalization (LLD) method, and use this approach to calculate the effects of the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions (DMI) on the radial-type spin wave modes of magnetic vortices in circular disks. The LLD method is a semianalytical approach that involves the diagonalization of the magnetostatic kernel, exchange, and DMI contributions to extract the system eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes. The magnetic vortex state provides a convenient model system in which to investigate the effects of the DMI on the dynamics of magnetic structures with confined geometries. Our calculations show that the DMI leads to shifts of the mode frequencies that are similar in magnitude to what is observed for spin waves of a comparable wavelength in extended films. However, unlike what is found in thin films, only the down-shifted modes are observed in the disks, and these correspond to modes that propagate either radially outward or inward, depending on the vortex circulation. The semianalytical calculations agree well with full micromagnetic simulations. This technique also applies to other systems with cylindrical symmetry, for example, magnetic skyrmions.
