The microwave losses associated with the extreme high field tail region of the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) absorption curve for 0.08- to 1.38-mm-thick c-plane circular disks of single crystal Zn-Y hexagonal ferrite materials with planar anisotropy were investigated at 10, 19.3, and 35.3 GHz, with the static external magnetic field applied in plane. Analysis of the data in terms of magnetic losses only gave anomalous high field effective linewidth ΔHF results; this ΔHF showed a substantial increase with the field, changed with both disk thickness and radius, and was higher for an out-of-plane microwave field direction than for an in-plane direction. This linewidth did scale with the square of the disk thickness, one indication of predominant eddy current losses. The data were then analyzed in terms of eddy current losses, based on the assumption of an insulator FMR response and a high field eddy current loss absorption tail driven by that response. The predictions of the model were in good agreement with the data. Fits to the data gave reasonable and consistent values of the microwave conductivity which ranged from 0.03 to 0.05 Ω−1 cm−1 at 10 GHz to 0.06–0.07 Ω−1 cm−1 at 35 GHz, relative to a measured dc conductivity of 0.02–0.03 Ω−1 cm−1.
