The magnetic damping constant is a proportionality constant for energy dissipation upon the precession of the magnetic moment, and it characterizes magnetization dynamics. In this study, ferrimagnetic Gd3Fe5O12 (111) epitaxial films are grown using pulsed laser deposition, and the temperature dependence of the ferrimagnetic resonance and damping constant ( αFiM) is investigated. The results reveal that αFiM is approximately an order of magnitude smaller than those of other ferrimagnetic metals reported to date. Our results emphasize the potential of Gd3Fe5O12 films in ultralow-power spintronic applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
