Resonant excitation of twisted spin waves in magnetic vortices using rotating magnetic fields
Twisted spin waves attracted research attentions lately and the orbital angular momentum they carry may be utilized in communication and computing technologies. In this work, we manifest by micromagnetic simulations that twisted spin wave modes naturally exist in thick ferromagnetic disks. The twisted spin waves can be readily stimulated using rotating magnetic field when it is tuned to the eigenfrequency of corresponding modes. We analytically derive dispersion relation of the twisted spin waves and the results agree well with the numerical studies. Lastly, we demonstrate that the topological charge of twisted spin waves can be controlled by the exciting field.
