Vl. Safonov et al., RELAXATION OF MAGNETOELASTIC OSCILLATIONS IN ANTIFERROMAGNETIC FEBO3, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 173(1-2), 1997, pp. 43-50
The lifetime tau(ph) of magnetoelastic oscillations was studied in the
frequency range 6-7 MHz in an 'easy-plane' antiferromagnet FeBO3 at t
emperatures 85-300 K. The dependences of tau(ph) on magnetic held, fre
quency and temperature are described by a phenomenological theory of r
elaxation for coupled oscillations of magnetic and elastic subsystems
of a crystal. The observed growth of damping of magnetoelastic vibrati
ons due to nonhomogeneous deformations in the sample is also in agreem
ent with the theory.
