Broadband stripline ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy of ferromagnetic films, multilayers and nanostructures

Broadband ferromagnetic resonance linewidth measurement of magnetic tunnel junction multilayers

The broadband ferromagnetic resonance FMR linewidth of the free layer of magnetic tunnel junctions is used as a simple diagnostic of the quality of the magnetic structure. The FMR linewidth increases near the field regions of free layer reversal and pinned layer reversal, and this increase correlates with an increase in magnetic hysteresis in unpatterned films, low-frequency noise in patterned ...

Ferromagnetic resonance studies in Co/SiO2 multilayers

The uniaxial in-plane and out-of-plane anisotropies of [Co/SiO2] 10 multilayers have been studied by ferromagnetic resonance, magnetometry and transmission electron microscopy. The surface and volume anisotropy constants are in the range of values typical for multilayers with Co and transition metals of the iron group. The influence of the intermixed Co–SiO2 region is discussed. # 2007 Elsevier...

Ferromagnetic resonance study of sputtered Co | Ni multilayers

We report on room temperature ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) studies of [t Co|2t Ni]×N sputtered films, where 0.1 ≤ t ≤ 0.6 nm. Two series of films were investigated: films with same number of Co|Ni bilayer repeats (N=12), and samples in which the overall magnetic layer thickness is kept constant at 3.6 nm (N=1.2/t). The FMR measurements were conducted with a high frequency broadband coplanar wa...

Ferromagnetic Resonance

Ferromagnetism is used to characterize magnetic behavior of a material, such as the strong attraction to a permanent magnet. The origin of this strong magnetism is the presence of a spontaneous magnetization which is produced by a parallel alignment of spins. Instead of a parallel alignment of all the spins, there can be an anti-parallel alignment of unequal spins. This results in a spontaneous...
