On the Magnon Spectrum of Antiferromagnetically Aligned Bilayer Films

We deal with spin-wave propagation in two antiferromagnetically aligned sublayers forming one bilayer film owing to the antiferromagnetic exchange coupling assumed to exist at the film interface. We get the following picture: as the spin wave traverses the interface, the creation of a spin-reversal in the one sublayer becomes an annihilation in the other sublayer. This feature is expressed by the non-conventional type of normalization condition of the spin-wave amplitudes.
