Description

Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) in diluted Fe nanogranular films with low volume fractions of Fe (v) has been studied. Films prepared by a co-sputtering technique are composed of amorphous Fe nanoparticles embedded in SiO2 glass matrices. The resonance of the FMR uniform mode is found to be strongly affected by the v, the temperature, and the angle between the film plane and the applied magnetic field. The present study suggests that the values of these parameters should be carefully selected in order to realize left-handed materials using diluted ferromagnetic-metal nanogranular films
