Ferromagnetic Resonance Studies Of Coupled Magnetic Systems, Daniel J. Adams

University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations

The high-frequency properties of coupled magnetic systems have been investigated using vector network analyzer ferromagnetic resonance (VNA-FMR) spectroscopy. SAF structures consist of two ferromagnetic layers separated by a non-magnetic spacer, coupled through the indirect exchange interaction. The ferromagnetic layers of our samples were composed of FeCoB separated by a layer of Ru. The thickness of Ru was varied in the range of 8 to 18 Å among the samples studied. Antiferromagnetic coupling can be quickly identified by the major hysteresis loop (MHL).

A new way of displaying FMR data for these trilayer samples is presented which completely preserves the anisotropy …
