The influence of a metal on transverse characteristics of hybrid waves in a layered ferrite–ferroelectric structure

We present electrodynamic characteristics of a layered multiferroic structure of metal–dielectric–ferrite–dielectric–ferroelectric–dielectric–metal type calculated by the finite elements method. Properties of transverse modes of hybrid waves (dispersion characteristics, electric field distribution at different frequencies, and damping rate) as functions of the distance between the ferroelectric layer and the metal screen are analyzed for the first time.
