We investigated the magnetic anisotropic parameters and spin-wave relaxation of thin films of the ferromagnetic half-metallic Sr2FeMoO6 by ferromagnetic resonance technique. The resonance field and linewidth were recorded as a function of relative angle between applied magnetic field and crystallographic axes of the sample. The resonance field varies sinusoidally and considerable linewidth broadening occurs when the applied field is rotated parallel to the sample plane. The results are described using higher order components of anisotropy fields. We obtain the values of the cubic anisotropic field, 2K4∥∕M=0.09611T, the effective demagnetization field, 4πM−2K2⊥∕M=0.1216T, and the planar anisotropic field, 2K4⊥∕M=−0.108T. Moreover, we estimated the spin relaxation time (damping factor) from the analysis of the angular dependence of peak-to-peak linewidth, leading to an intrinsic value of α∼0.00025 (Gilbert damping).
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.
