null (Ed.)Permalloy films with one-dimensional profile modulation of submicron periodicity are fabricated based on commercially available DVD-R discs and studied using ferromagnetic resonance method and micromagnetic numerical simulations. The main resonance position shows in-plane angular dependence which is strongly reminiscent of that in ferromagnetic films with uniaxial magnetic anisotropy. The main signal and additional low-field lines are attributed to multiple standing spin-wave resonances defined by the grating period. The results may present interest in magnetic metamaterials and magnonics applications.more » « less

We study the thermodynamics of a non-abelian ferromagnet consisting of “atoms” each carrying a fun-damental representation of SU(N), coupled with long-range two-body quadratic interactions. We uncover a rich structure of phase transitions from non-magnetized, global SU(N)-invariant states to magnetized ones breaking global invariance to SU(N−1) ×U(1). Phases can coexist, one being stable and the other metastable, and the transition between states involves latent heat exchange, unlike in usual SU(2)ferro-magnets. Coupling the system to an external non-abelian magnetic field further enriches the phase structure, leading to additional phases. The system manifests hysteresis phenomena both in the magnetic field, as in usual ferromagnets, and in the temperature, in analogy to supercooled water. Potential applications are in fundamental situations or as a phenomenological model.more » « less
