A novel behavior, the optical total reflection, was demonstrated for spin waves with a specific interface between Yttrium iron garnet (Y3Fe5O12) and Permalloy (Ni80Fe20), by analytical and micromagnetic numerical calculations.16 pagesMaterials ScienceOther Condensed MatterRefractive index and Snell's Law for Dipolar-Exchange Spin-Waves in a Confined Planar Structuretext
