摘要
Magnetic excitations of micrometer-wide ferromagnetic stripes subjected to a transverse applied field have been measured between 1 and 20 GHz . The complexity of the observed response is attributed to the spatially nonuniform equilibrium spin distribution. This one is modeled analytically and numerically, which allows one to distinguish two micromagnetic phases governing the ground state. The nucleation-related phase transitions are evidenced by soft modes, while the different observed resonances are attributed to spin wave modes localized in the two phases and at their interface.
