Abstract

Via a direct coupling between the order parameter and the singlet Josephson supercurrent we detect spin-wave resonances and their dispersion in ferromagnetic Josephson junctions in which the usual insulating or metallic barrier is replaced with a weak ferromagnet. The coupling arises within the Fraunhofer interferential description of the Josephson effect because the magnetic layer acts as a time-dependent phase plate. A spin-wave resonance at a frequency ωs implies a dissipation that is reflected as a depression in the current-voltage curve of the Josephson junction when ℏωs=2eV. We have thereby performed a resonance experiment on only 107 Ni atoms.
