abstract = {The paper reports on recent considerable improvements in
electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) of spin waves in
ultra-thin films. Spin wave spectra with 4 meV resolution
are shown. The high energy resolution enables the
observation of standing modes in ultra-thin films in the
wave vector range of 0.15 Å− 1 < q|| < 0.3 Å− 1. In
this range, Landau damping is comparatively small and
standing spin wave modes are well-defined Lorentzians for
which the adiabatic approximation is well suited, an
approximation which was rightly dismissed by Mills and
collaborators for spin waves near the Brillouin zone
boundary. With the help of published exchange coupling
constants, the Heisenberg model, and a simple model for the
spectral response function, experimental spectra for
Co-films on Cu(100) as well as for Co films capped with
further copper layers are successfully simulated. It is
shown that, depending on the wave vector and film thickness,
the most prominent contribution to the spin wave spectrum
may come from the first standing mode, not from the
so-called surface mode. In general, the peak position of a
low-resolution spin wave spectrum does not correspond to a
single mode. A discussion of spin waves based on the
“dispersion” of the peak positions in low resolution
spectra is therefore subject to errors.},
