Popis: The excitation of microwave ultrasonics by ferromagnetic resonance in magnetic thin films at 10 Gc/sec has been analyzed on the basis of a spatial inhomogeneity in the internal field as treated by Kooi.1 Four types of magnetoelastic interaction processes were studied experimentally in thin Permalloy films at X band: phonon excitation by spin waves (M→P), spin‐wave excitation by phonons (P→M), re‐excitation of spin waves by phonons which were originally produced by spin waves (M→M) and the attenuation of piezoelectrically generated and detected phonons by spin waves (P→P). Observations were made in films with compositions varying from 77% Ni to 85% Ni. In each film distinct spin‐wave modes were observed and a one‐to‐one correspondence between the spin‐wave modes and the phonon modes could be determined. A value for the magnitude of the transverse magnetoelastic constant was obtained from the measurements of the P→P process. Using the measured value of b2, conversion coefficients were computed for the M⇆P a...
