Angular Dependence of the Ferromagnetic Resonance Parameters of [Ti/FeNi]6/Ti/Cu/Ti/[FeNi/Ti]6 Nanostructured Multilayered Elements in the Wide Frequency Range

Magnetically soft [Ti(6)/FeNi(50)]6/Ti(6)/Cu(500)/Ti(6)/[FeNi(50)/Ti(6)]6 nanostructured multilayered elements were deposited by rf-sputtering technique in the shape of elongated stripes. The easy magnetization axis was oriented along the short size of the stripe using deposition in the external magnetic field. Such configuration is important for the development of small magnetic field sensors employing giant magnetoimpedance effect (GMI) for different applications. Microwave absorption of electromagnetic radiation was experimentally and theoretically studied in order to provide an as complete as possible high frequency characterization. The conductor-backed coplanar line was used for microwave properties investigation. The medialization for the precession of the magnetization vector in the uniformly magnetized GMI element was done on the basis of the Landau–Lifshitz equation with a dissipative Bloch–Bloembergen term. We applied the method of the complex amplitude for the analysis of the rotation of the ferromagnetic GMI element in the external magnetic field. The calculated and experimental dependences for the amplitudes of the imaginary part of the magnetic susceptibility tensor x-component and magnetoabsorption related to different angles show a good agreement.

Sharp-pointed susceptibility of ferromagnetic films with magnetic anisotropy inhomogeneous in thickness

It is shown that in ferromagnetic films with anisotropy inhomogeneous in thickness, an interphase boundary can be formed for certain values and directions of the magnetic field. This boundary has a stable magnetic configuration. It is oriented parallel to the film plane and separates the regions with different orientations of the magnetization. In an alternating magnetic field, the interphase boundary oscillates, which may be accompanied by a resonance. The field and frequency dependences of the components of the magnetic susceptibility tensor are determined. It is shown that the susceptibility coefficients at a resonance are extremely sensitive to the direction of the external magnetic field which can underlie the development of a highly sensitive sensor.
