Resonance due to standing spin waves has been observed in thin films of Permalloy. The results are interpreted in terms of the Kittel spin pinning boundary condition and an ω vs k dispersion relation for good conductors. The method leads to a determination of the exchange constant subject to film thickness uncertainty but to a precise determination of the temperature variation of the exchange constant.
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.
