Ferromagnetic resonance

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The ferromagnetic resonance ( FMR ) is a measuring method in the solid state physics . It describes the resonant absorption of electromagnetic radiation in a ferromagnet (e.g. iron ). It is similar to electron spin resonance (ESR) or nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) processes.

history

In 1941 Wladimir Konstantinowitsch Arkadjew (1884–1953) succeeded in proving it experimentally. The first more comprehensive theoretical description goes back to the Russian physicists Lev Dawidowitsch Landau and Evgeni Michailowitsch Lifschitz .

application areas

FMR with the help of microwave spectroscopy has a resolution limit of 10 11  spins, but local methods with higher resolution also exist. It can be used to investigate the magnetic parameters of ferromagnetic films or layer systems (e.g. g-tensor, effective magnetization, anisotropies, damping parameters). Ferromagnetic materials have found wide use recently, e.g. B. in connection with spintronic components , in combination with superconducting materials or in components whose electrical resistance is dependent on the magnetization ( GMR effect ).
