Magnetostatic surface waves in ferrite-nonlinear nonmagnetic negative permittivity material structure

Magnetostatic surface waves have been investigated in a layered system of a nonlinear nonmagnetic negative permittivity material (NPM) and Ferrite (YIG). We derived the dispersion relation before numerically solving the dispersion relation of the TE nonlinear magnetostatic surface waves (NMSSW) in the proposed structure and the power flow. We found out that the wave effective nonlinear refractive index is much smaller in the forward direction than in the backward direction and consequently, the power flow is lower for the forward direction than the backward direction.
