Vs. Bai et al., FERROMAGNETIC-RESONANCE IN SPUTTERED CO100-XCUX COMPOSITE FILMS, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 147(1-2), 1995, pp. 97-100
We report ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) measurements in rf sputter dep
osited Co100-xCux thin films with 27 < x < 100. Data were taken at 300
K at about 10, 22 and 36 GHz, with the field being rotated in the fil
m plane and the plane perpendicular to it. It is found that, while STM
suggests the presence of oblate spheroidal clusters, the FMR results
are consistent with having a single magnetic entity, that is, a relati
vely complete alignment of these cluster axes parallel to the film nor
mal.
