Abstract

We have studied the uniform mode ferromagnetic resonance in the amorphous systems Metglass 28226A, 2826B, 2826 over the temperature range 77–430 K. The data have been analysed in terms of the Gilbert Equation. The g-values are very similar to those of crystalline permalloy. The relaxation parameters λ, are of the order of 10⁸ s⁻¹ and exhibit an interesting temperature dependence. In particular, for $T T_{c} ⪅0.5, λ$ is simply proportional to the static saturation magnetization M_s. The present results are compared with those obtained on crystalline samples of the 3-d transition metals and their alloys.

Ferromagnetic resonance of CoFeB/Ta/CoFeB spin valves versus CoFeB film
2017, Thin Solid Films
In MgO/CoFeB/MgO/Ta (single layer) and MgO/CoFeB/Ta/CoFeB/MgO/Ta spin valve (bilayer), the orientation dependences of ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) have been analyzed. Magnetic anisotropy constants as well as damping constants have been extracted. The differences between the anisotropy constants in single-layer film and spin valve MgO/CoFeB/Ta/CoFeB/MgO/Ta are explained by dipole magnetic interaction between ferromagnetic layers. The main part of the linewidth corresponds to inhomogeneous widening, while smaller part is provided by interface exchange fluctuations. The FMR lineshape can be explained by standard FMR Lorenz line and nonresonant absorption provided by inverse spin Hall effect.
FMR study of crystallization in the metglas 2826 amorphous alloy
1986, Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials
The ferromagnetic resonance technique was used to study the annealing behavior of the metallic glass Fe₄₀Ni₄₀P₁₄B₆ (Metglas 2826). The peak-to-peak FMR linewidth, ΔH_pp, was measured at room temperature and 9.5 GHz for several times of isothermal annealing in the temperature range 350–375°C. After an initial decrease, attributed to structural relaxation, the linewidth increases with annealing time for all temperatures investigated. The activation energy for crystallization, E_c, is estimated from the times to ΔH_pp = 20 to 80 mT as (412±23) kJ/mol. The results suggest that, for sufficiently long annealing times, there is a well-defined relation between ΔH and the volume fraction of the transformed phase. If this relation is assumed to be linear, the transformed fraction, as derived from linewidth data, satisfies the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami equation with the exponent n equal to 1.67±0.13.
Frequency dependence of ferromagnetic resonance in amorphous magnets: Ferromagnetic and reentrant alloys
1985, Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials
We report measurements on magnetic resonance in a number of transition metal-glass former complexes. Data were taken over a wide range of frequencies (2–35 GHz) and temperatures (2–300 K). In the ferromagnetic regime all the systems have a term in their linewidth which points strongly to noncolinearity of spin in glassy magnets even in a nominally saturated state. At low temperatures, in the reentrant alloys, there is a characteristic exponential term describing the increase in linewidth, with reducing T. Such a contribution appears in most random spin systems. There is no adequate microscopic picture to account for many of the results.
Ferromagnetic resonance in amorphous Y<inf>1-x</inf>Co<inf>x</inf>
1984, Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials
In an investigation of the ferromagnetic resonance in amorphous Y_1−xCo_x at three frequencies 3.5, 9.3 and 34 GHz, the line width was observed to increase at low temperatures and a negative line shift was found. Whereas the line broadening was nearly frequency-independent, the line shift increased with decreasing frequency. Both effects were more pronounced at low Co concentrations. This behaviour was qualitatively explained on the basis of the interaction of ferromagnetic clusters which develop at low Co concentrations.
Influence of spin-wave excitation on the ferromagnetic resonance in amorphous metals
1984, Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials
Measurements of the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) on various amorphous alloys at frequencies from 10 to 70 GHz are presented. The disc shaped samples are prepared by electrochemical techniques to avoid magnetostrictive effects. The measurements are carried out at various angles between the applied static magnetic field and the rotational axis of the sample. The resonance curves are, in general, not symmetrical which can be explained by the variation of the spin wave damping which occurs when the FMR moves through the spin wave band.
Magnetism in amorphous iron-boron alloys
1984, Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials
Magnetic resonance and low field magnetization measurements show that, depending on concentration, there are three distinct magnetic regimes in amorphous Fe_xB_100-x. In this paper a detailed description of a study of magnetism in these alloys is presented. A magnetic phase diagram is proposed and the resonance and magnetization measurements, in each of three regimes are discussed. For x > 50 the alloys appear to be normal amorphous ferromagnets when the measuring field is large (⩾ 1 kOe). However, measurements in smaller fields indicate that the alloys are not conventional ferromagnets since the spins are noncollinear. For the concentration range 41 ⩽ x ⩽ 50, the alloys are reentrant ferromagnets. While the ferromagnetic state is as discussed above, the low temperature state shows explicit nonergodic behavior besides showing many of the usual characteristics of spin glasses. In the neighborhood of the multicritical point, not only the paramagnet-ferromagnet transition temperature T_C, but also the ferromagnet-spin glass transition temperature T_f decreases as x is reduced. Ferromagnetism is absent at the low concentration end, 21 ⩽ x ⩽ 37, but Fe ions retain a paramagnetic moment and these alloys enter the spin glass state at low temperatures. In the intermediate concentration regime, 37 < x < 41, a more complex behavior is observed.
