Background and Objectives: Layered structures based on ferrite and metal films are actively studied in magnonics. Usually, the effects associated with the finite conductivity of the metal are not taken into account. The aim of this work was to investigate the influence of the thickness of a metal with finite conductivity on the dispersion and damping of a magnetostatic backward volume wave (MSBVW) in the ferrite-metal and ferrite-insulator-metal structures.
