Propagation Effects in the Spin-Wave Spectrum of the Ferromagnetic Thin Film

Figure 10

The distribution of ((a)–(c)) nearest, shaded circles, and ((d)–(f)) next nearest, shaded rings, neighbors of an arbitrary chosen spin (the central black circle) in sc thin films for three surface cuts: ((a), (d)) (001), ((b), (e)) (110), and ((c), (f)) (111). (See the text for explanation.)

(a) sc(001), NN

(b) sc(110), NN

(c) sc(111), NN

(d) sc(001), NNN

(e) sc(110), NNN

(f) sc(111), NNN
