the same as that for an infinitely extending disk. However, magnetization outside the disk in the
region > R should be zero. is requirement provides the key boundary conditions at D R
which accounts for the disk’s finite extent. Recall that magnetization Nm is related to the magnetic
field
N

Nm D ŒX

It has already been explained in the previous sections that Nm represents the microwave
magnetization, which under the small signal approximation has a negligible component in the
DC biasing direction, that is, m

From (3.191) it can be observed that asking for both m
and m
'
to vanish at the disk
edge D R yields two inconsistent equations, at least at first glance. is requirement is also
known as “spin pinning” at the ferrite surface. According to Maksymowitz [43], for example, the
inconsistencies may arise due to localized non-uniformities around the disk edges. Concerning
the demagnetization factors of the infinite disk, it was assumed that N

but this is violated around the edge, where D R. However, this non-uniformity is localized
and disappears at a small distance (inward) from the edge. Nevertheless, pinning the spins at
