Ferromagnetic Resonance Measurement Using a Novel Short Circuited Coaxial Probe Technique

Abstract

A versatile technique to characterize the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) of ferrite samples using a short circuited coaxial probe is presented. The technique has sensitivity comparable to that of well-established methods besides its non-contact nature, broadband and local. Detailed theoretical approach and simulation studies (Proof of Concept) using HFSS are presented. Microwave measurements on different single crystal and polycrystalline samples (Yttrium Iron Garnet (Y3Fe5O12) YIG and Nickel Ferrite (NiFe2O4) NFO have been performed. We measured the FMR response of these samples as a function of frequency and the data showed the expected variation for both in plane and out of plane magnetic fields.
