Abstract

A microscopic model is employed to calculate the spectrum of spin waves in quasiperiodic magnetic multilayers in the dipole-exchange regime. Results are presented for structures in which thin ferromagnetic films are separated by non-magnetic spacers following a Fibonacci sequence and extend previous magnetostatic calculations. The results show the splitting of the frequency bands and the mode mixing caused by the dipolar interaction between the films as a function of spacer thickness, as well as the fractal aspect of the spectrum induced by the non-periodic aspect of the structure.
