Spin waves are promising information carriers which can be used in modern magnonic devices, characterized by higher performance and lower energy consumption than presently used electronic circuits. However, before practical application of spin waves, the efficient control over spin wave amplitude and phase needs to be developed. We analyze analytically reflection and refraction of the spin waves at the interface between two ferromagnetic materials. In the model we consider the system consisting of two semi-infinite ferromagnetic media, separated by the ultra-narrow interface region with the magnetic anisotropy. We have found the Goos-Hanchen shift for spin waves in transmission and reflection, and performed detailed investigations of its dependence on the anisotropy at the interface and materials surrounding the interface. We have demonstrated possibility of obtaining Goos-Hanchen shift of several wavelengths in reflection for realistic material parameters. That proves the possibility for change of the spin waves phase in ferromagnetic materials at subwavelength distances, which can be regarded as a metasurface for magnonics.
