Ferromagnetic Resonance (FMR) spectroscopy
Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) is a powerful tool for investigating magnetism in materials. By applying a microwave field and measuring its absorption, FMR reveals details like a material's magnetization and damping. This excerpt explores the theory behind FMR, including the Kittel formula that describes the resonance condition. We'll also delve into ...
Micromagnetics – An Introductory Overview
Micromagnetics is a field in physics that deals with the behaviour of magnetics at a sub-micrometer dimension. This theory is based on the assumption that the length of the magnetization vector is constant, and that the energy varies slowly at the atomic scale. This will break down when approaching the ...
The Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation
To model the motion of the magnetization in the time domain, the Landau-Lifshitz (LL) equation is used. It describes the evolution in time of the magnetization in a solid.
