Tb0.3Dy0.7－xPrx(Fe0.9Al0.1)1.95合金的磁致伸缩、自旋重取向和穆斯堡尔谱研究

系统研究了室温下Tb_0.3Dy_0.7-xPr_x(Fe_0.9Al_0.1)_1.95 (x=0，0.1，0.2，0.25，0.3，0.35)合金中稀土元素Pr替代Dy对晶体结构、磁致伸缩、各向异性和自旋重取向的影响. 结果发现，x≤0.1时，Tb_0.3Dy_0.7-xPr_x(Fe_0.9Al_0.1)_1.95完全保持MgCl₂立方Laves相结构，0.1<x≤0.3，有杂相出现并且随Pr替代量逐渐增多；晶格常数a随Pr含量x的增加缓慢增大. 磁致伸缩测量发现，随着替代量x的增多磁致伸缩减小；x>0.2时超磁致伸缩效应消失. 然而，x=0.1时合金的磁致伸缩略大于没有替代的，而且磁致伸缩随磁场更易趋于饱和，说明Pr替代有助于降低磁晶各向异性. 内禀磁致伸缩λ₁₁₁随Pr替代量x的增加接近线性增加. 由相对磁化率随温度的变化关系可以看出，自旋重取向温度随Pr替代量的增多呈先增后降趋势，在x=0.1处出现极大值. 穆斯堡尔效应表明，随Pr含量的增加Tb_0.3Dy_0.7-xPr_x(Fe_0.9Al_0.1)_1.95合金中易磁化轴可能在{110}面上绕主对称轴作微小转动，发生自旋重取向. 与Al元素替代效应相比，Pr替代Dy对自旋重取向的影响相对较小.

Comparison of parallel and perpendicular ferromagnetic resonance in an exchange-biased bilayer

We have investigated the ferromagnetic resonance spectra of an exchange-biased Ni₈₀Fe₂₀/CoO bilayer between room temperature and 4 K. Primary attention has been paid to the effect of the antiferromagnetic CoO film on the temperature-dependent resonance field shift of the ferromagnetic Ni₈₀Fe₂₀ film with respect to that of an unbiased film. At low temperatures, the field shift with the magnetic field applied perpendicular to the plane was determined to be more than twice the magnitude of the parallel field shift, and of the same sign, while an unoxidized single ferromagnetic film has much smaller parallel and perpendicular low-temperature shifts (here defined with respect to room temperature) of opposite sign. This observation implies that the anisotropy axis can rotate with the applied field, provided that the primary cause of the anisotropy is the interaction between the adjacent ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic films. Since the perpendicular shift is more than a factor of two larger than the parallel field shift, the rotatable anisotropy is, in fact, anisotropic in this bilayer.     

Ferromagnetic resonance in a uniaxial magnetic film subjected to magnetic biasing along its hard axis

The precession dynamics of the magnetization of a film with an in-plane uniaxial anisotropy is analyzed in the spectrum of ferromagnetic resonance corresponding to magnetic biasing along the hard axis of the film. An additional resonance peak is revealed near magnetic anisotropy field H _u . This peak is related to the appearance of angular bistability due to the presence of two symmetric angular equilibrium positions in field H < H _u .     

FMR study of the anisotropic properties of an epitaxial Fe<Subscript>3</Subscript>Si film on a Si(111) vicinal surface

The anisotropic characteristics of an iron silicide (Fe₃Si) epitaxial thin magnetic film grown on a Si(111) silicon vicinal surface with a misorientation angle of 0.14° have been measured by the ferromagnetic resonance method. It has been shown that the polar and azimuth misorientation angles of the crystallographic plane of the substrate can be determined simultaneously from the angular dependences of the ferromagnetic resonance field of the epitaxial film. The effective saturation magnetization of the film M _eff = 1105 G and the constant of the cubic magnetocrystalline anisotropy K ₄ = 1.15 × 10⁵ erg/cm³ have been determined. The misorientation of the substrate plane leads to the formation of steps on the film surface and, as a result, to the appearance of uniaxial magnetic anisotropy of the magnetic dipole nature with the constant K ₂ = 796 erg/cm³. Small unidirectional magnetic anisotropy (K ₁ = 163 erg/cm³), which may be associated with symmetry breaking on the steps of the film and is due to the Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction, has been detected.     

On the relation between the effective ferromagnetic resonance linewidth Δfeff and damping parameter αeff in ferromagnetic Fe-Co-Hf-N nanocomposite films

Ferromagnetic Fe-Co-Hf-N nanocomposite films were investigated concerning their microstructure-dependent frequency behaviour. To modify the composition, the films were deposited by reactive RF magnetron sputtering by using three different 6 in. targets with various Hf fractions. The films were post-annealed up to 600 °C in a static magnetic field to induce an in-plane uniaxial anisotropy and to obtain different crystal sizes. Depending on the annealing temperature, high-frequency losses were investigated by considering the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) Δf_eff of the imaginary part of the frequency-dependent permeability which showed a resonance frequency f_FMR of 2.3 GHz for an in-plane uniaxial anisotropy field H_u of 4 mT. The FWHM in correlation with the damping parameter α_eff is discussed, e.g., in terms of two-magnon scattering. Damping occurs due to film inhomogeneity in magnetisation and uniaxial anisotropy caused by a magnetocrystalline anisotropy H_a and/or non-magnetic phases. This will result in homogenous or even inhomogeneous resonance line broadening if additional and resonance as well as precession frequencies of independent grains arise.     

Magnetic Pseudoresonance in Manganite Thin Films

A strong narrow peak in the field dependence of the radio-frequency absorption (the magnetic pseudoresonance) has been found and investigated in epitaxial thin films of La_2/3Sr_1/3MnO₃ possessing uniaxial magnetic anisotropy in the film plane. The peak is observed when the in-plane external magnetic field H is directed perpendicular to the easy axis and equals to the anisotropy field H _u. The frequency dependence of the peak magnitude measured in the frequency range of 10–300 MHz approximately follows the Debye law behavior with the characteristic relaxation time of about 2.2 ns. The physical model of the phenomenon is suggested, based on the giant increase in static transversal susceptibility due to a sharp reorientation of the equilibrium magnetization when approaching the pseudoresonance conditions.     

Microscopic field in nanocrystalline ferromagnetic metal films and the opportunity for studying it by the μSR method

The relation of the microscopic (local) field in nanocrystalline ferromagnetic metal films to macroscopic characteristics (the external magnetic field, average magnetization, saturation magnetization) is determined for the case where a nanocrystalline ferromagnetic film consists of crystallographically ordered grains separated by disordered regions and where the dimensions of grains along a normal to the film plane are much smaller than those in the film plane. In the case of a strong external field (? ? M), the magnetization direction is determined in grains in the form of oblate ellipsoids for metals with uniaxial or cubic magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Expressions are derived for the spin polarization of an ensemble of rapidly diffusing and nondiffusing muons in nanocrystalline ferromagnetic films. It is shown that experiments with “slow” positive muons make it possible to measure all parameters of such structures and to obtain important information for studying phase transition physics.     

Ferromagnetic resonance and bistability field in a uniaxial magnetic film

Peculiarities of ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) corresponding to bias along the “hard” magnetic axis of a film with 2D uniaxial anisotropy are studied based on numerical solution of magnetic moment dynamics equations. It is shown that an additional resonance peak is formed in the FMR spectrum in the vicinity of “bistability field” H _b . The dependence of this field on the amplitude of the microwave field and damping parameters is analyzed.     

Mǒsbauer study of the field induced uniaxial anisotropy in electro-deposited FeCo alloy films

Thin ferromagnetic films with in-plane magnetic anisotropy are promising materials for obtaining high microwave permeability.The paper reports a Mo¨ssbauer study of the field induced in-plane uniaxial anisotropy in electro-deposited FeCo alloy films.The FeCo alloy films were prepared by the electro-deposition method with and without an external magnetic field applied parallel to the film plane during deposition.Vibrating sample magnetometry and Mo¨ssbauer spectroscopy measurements at room temperature indicate that the film deposited in external field shows an in-plane uniaxial anisotropy with an easy direction coinciding with the external field direction and a hard direction perpendicular to the field direction,whereas the film deposited without external field does not show any in-plane anisotropy.Mo¨ssbauer spectra taken in three geometric arrangements show that the magnetic moments are almost constrained in the film plane for the film deposited with applied magnetic field.Also,the magnetic moments tend to align in the direction of the applied external magnetic field during deposition,indicating that the observed anisotropy should be attributed to directional ordering of atomic pairs.
