Intrinsic relaxation of the ferromagnetic resonance in substituted yttrium iron garnets
The intrinsic loss properties of the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) in Ga, Al, Sc and V substituted iron garnets have been investigated at different temperatures from T=77 K up to the Curie temperature by FMR measurements as a function of frequency. After separation of masking two-magnon scattering contributions the intrinsic losses of the bulk single crystal materials were resolved in terms of the dimensionless Landau-Lifshitz damping parameter ..cap alpha.. /sub f/ . The results of ..cap alpha.. /sub f/ (T) obtained for different temperatures were found to increase linearly versus 1/4..pi..M /sub s/ (T), the reciprocal of the respective saturation magnetization. Apart from the region of magnetic compensation the intrinsic FMR losses for 100 K < T < T /sub c/ have been related directly to thermomagnetic properties of substituted YIG using nearly invariant matching parameters.
