Abstract

A systematic study of the excitation of surface plasmons on ferromagnetic materials in multilayered structures composed of thin films of nickel, iron, and cobalt capped by a silver layer is presented. Electromagnetic properties of the systems are theoretically and experimentally investigated as a function of the metal layers’ thickness. The critical parameters in this study of the interaction between surface plasmon waves and the magnetoactive material are discussed and an optimized structure for the investigations of spin-plasmonic effects is proposed.
