Reversal of momentum relaxation

A new phenomenon of momentum relaxation reversal has been discovered experimentally and explained theoretically for dipolar spin waves in magnetic garnet films. It is shown that the process of momentum relaxation, caused by the scattering of a signal wave on defects, can be reversed, and the signal...

Description
Summary:A new phenomenon of momentum relaxation reversal has been discovered experimentally and explained theoretically for dipolar spin waves in magnetic garnet films. It is shown that the process of momentum relaxation, caused by the scattering of a signal wave on defects, can be reversed, and the signal can be restituted after it left the scattering region. The reversal of momentum relaxation is achieved by frequency-selective parametric amplification of a narrow band of scattered waves having low group velocities and frequencies close to the frequency of the original signal wave. The phenomenon can be used for the development of a new type of active microwave delay lines.
