• into consideration for accounting the slight nonlinearity observed in the ΔH(f) plots. In TMS, the precession of the uniform mode of magnetization (k = 0) is scattered into degenerate state non-uniform spin wave modes (k ≠ 0) mediated by sample inhomogeneities or defects [48][49]. Therefore, the total

• micromagnetic simulations have been exploited to study the magnetization precession and spin-wave modes of the antidot lattice with varying lattice constant and in-plane orientation of the bias-magnetic field. A remarkable variation in the spin-wave modes with the orientation of in-plane bias magnetic field is

• found to be associated with the conversion of extended spin-wave modes to quantized ones and vice versa. The lattice constant also influences this variation in spin-wave spectra and spin-wave mode profiles. These observations are important for potential applications of the antidot lattices with

• Equation 4 this results in large energy gaps between spin wave modes with different q-values. The energy gap between the n = 0 and n = 1 modes is given by [7] This energy gap can be on the order of 10 K or larger. In the spin wave modes with n > 0, the atomic spins precess such that adjacent spins form a
