OPTICAL INVESTIGATION OF RADIO-FREQUENCY FERROMAGNETIC RESONANCE

Ferromagnetic Resonance Investigation of GaMnAs Nanometric Layers

This thesis is dedicated to the study of the magnetic properties of GaMnAs nanometric layers by the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) technique. Three series of samples have been studied to investigate independently the influence of the strain, the hole concentration and the Mn concentration on the magnetic properties of GaMnAs. In the first series, the Ga1−xMnxAs samples with x=0.07, grown on GaAs...

Transverse susceptibility as the low-frequency limit of ferromagnetic resonance

A new theory of transverse susceptibility (TS) based on magnetization vector dynamics, as described by the Landau–Lifshitz equation of motion, is given. It is shown that the traditional TS experiment is, in fact, the zerofrequency limit of the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). The importance of these results resides in the generality of the approach which allows one to find the TS for virtually an...

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...
