ABSTRACT
This chapter summarizes the findings about the normal modes of the magnetization field in the Landau configuration. It provides a brief description of the equilibrium state. The chapter describes the experimental methods and results. It also describes the micromagnetic simulations used to reproduce these results and provides a theoretical interpretation of the modes. The chapter introduces by G. Gubbiotti et al. and by S. O. Demokritov and V. E. Demidov the working principle of Brillouin Light Scattering (BLS). It shows results of BLS measurements using a microfocus BLS set-up with a spatial resolution of about 300 nm. The chapter also shows data obtained by Vector-Network Analyzer Ferromagnetic Resonance. Grundler et al. The chapter outlines the experimental and theoretical works combine together to form a global picture for the normal modes of the Landau configuration. Magnetization dynamics of uniform or non-uniform magnetic elements may be studied using a large variety of experimental methods.
