Power absorption and ferromagnetic resonance in Co-rich metallic glasses

The power absorption of Co-rich metallic glasses in the shape of ribbons and microwires has been measured in the microwave frequency range. The technique employed consists of replacing the dielectric of a coaxial transmission line by the amorphous sample to be measured. The ferromagnetic resonance frequency of the microwires has been obtained by analyzing the absorbed power as a function of an external magnetic field. From the evolution of this resonance frequency, the anisotropy field has been deduced and successfully compared to that obtained from low-frequency hysteresis loops.
