Abstract

Bose condensation of quasiparticles in physical systems of finite size iz considered for the case of ferromagnetic thin films. It is shown that in accordance with present-day experimental capabilities which permit one to achieve densities of long-wave spin excitation of 1018-1019 cm-3, in such films the formation of condensate of such quasiparticles begins at temperatures T~100 K (room one including). It is found that Bose condensation is accompanied by scaling phenomenon according to which the main thermodynamic variable is not the number N of particles but the ratio N/T. This indicates that condensation of magnons can be observed at relatively low magnon densities. The roles played by the shape of the spectrum and film thickness are analyzed.
