MAJOR DISCOVERIES

1. In collaboration with Prof. Melkov from Kiev University, Ukraine we observed  and  theoretically  described  the  effect  of   non-adiabatic
   interaction of a spin wave pulse with strongly  localized  (localization length is of the order of the pulse carrier  frequency  wavelength).  In that case TWO (contra-propagating and co-propagating) parametric  "idle" wave packets are  formed  as a result  of  parametric  interaction  with pumping. Interference of the amplified input pulse with co-propagating "idle" wave packet leads to the amplitude and phase  modulation  of  the output signal. The work was  presented at the ICM-2000 International Conference on Magnetism in Recife, Brazil in August 2000. The paper is being prepared for submission to the Phys.Rev. Lett. in October 2000.
2. In collaboration with Dr. Benner from Darmstadt Technical  University I worked on the problem of the influence of initial signal phase on  the
   process of dark spin wave soliton formation in magnetic films. A paper is being prepared for the submission to the Phys.Rev. B.
3. In collaboration  with  Prof. Hillebrands from the University of Kaiserslautern I did numerical calculations and planned the experiment in which the interaction of  two-dimensional  nonlinear  spin wave packets (spin wave "bullets")  with  localized  parametric  pumping will be studied by means of space-  and  time-resolved  Brillouin  light scattering. The paper on the preliminary  numerical  investigations of this effect is being prepared for publication in J.Appl.Phys.
4. In collaboration with Dr. Guslienko from the Korean Institute of Advanced Studies, Seoul, South Korea  I derived the explicit expressions
   for  tensorial  magnetostatic  Green's  functions  for  the  case  of  a rectangular prism, and calculated the  spectrum  of  spin  waves  in  an
   isolated non-ellipsoidal rectangular magnetic  dot.  These  calculations allowed us to explain the experiments performed  in  permalloy  magnetic dots  by  the  group  of  Prof.  Hillebrands  from  the   Kaiserslautern University, Kaiserslautern, Germany. These results were reported at  the 16th International Colloquium on Magnetic Films  and  Surfaces  (ICMFS), Natal, Brazil, August 2000.
