Highly Sensitive Ferromagnetic Resonance Measurements Using Coplanar Waveguides

Longitudinal detection of ferromagnetic resonance using x-ray transmission measurements.

We describe a setup for the x-ray detection of ferromagnetic resonance in the longitudinal geometry using element-specific transmission measurements. Thin magnetic film samples are placed in a static magnetic field collinear with the propagation direction of a polarized soft x-ray beam and driven to ferromagnetic resonance by a continuous wave microwave magnetic field perpendicular to it. The t...

A metamolecule antenna for coplanar waveguides.

We report on a metamolecule antenna, based on a fish-scale design but augmented with two split-ring resonators (SRRs) placed within the fish-scale loops. The properties of the antenna resonator, with and without additional SRRs, were examined using finite element method simulations (COMSOL Multiphysics). The simulation findings were subsequently confirmed experimentally, using a vector network ...

Highly Compact Micro-machined Coplanar

Highly compact micro-machined coplanar bandpass filters based on end-coupled half-wavelength and quarter-wavelength resonators topologies have been investigated. Simple gap and interdigitated capacitive discontinuities have been modeled through an appropriate technique and have been implemented in order to achieve low loss and narrow bandpass membrane micromachined filters. Excellent performanc...

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...
