Description

In this work, we constructed a two-dimensional numerical model for calculation of the stripline ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) response of metallic ferromagnetic films. We also conducted numerical calculations by using this software. The calculations demonstrated that the eddy current contribution to the FMR response decreases with a decrease in the stripline width. The most important manifestations of the conductivity (eddy current) effect are excitation of the higher-order standing spin waves across the film thickness in the materials for which the standing spin wave peaks would be absent in cavity FMR measurements and strong dependence of the off-resonance series conductance of the stripline on the stripline width. Whereas the contribution of the eddy currents to the stripline FMR response can be very significant, because wide striplines (100 μm+) are conventionally used for the FMR measurements, it is negligible in the case of excitation of spin waves, just because very narrow stripline transducers (0.5–5 μm wide) are required in order to excite spin waves in metallic ferromagnetic films in a noticeable frequency/applied field range
