R. Meckenstock et al., PHOTOTHERMALLY MODULATED FERROMAGNETIC-RESONANCE INVESTIGATIONS OF EPITAXIALLY GROWN THIN FE(001) FILMS, Journal de physique. IV, 4(C7), 1994, pp. 663-666
The photothermally modulated (PM) ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) combin
es the high sensitivity of conventional FMR and the spatial resolution
of thermal waves. For the first time, this alternative FMR-technique
was applied to the magnetic characterization of high-quality thin Fe (
001) films epitaxially grown on (001) GaAs substrate: Images of the di
stribution of crystalline anisotropy constant K-1 and the magnetizatio
n M were determined from the locally resolved FMR spectra.
