Static and dynamic damping properties of epitaxial Fe/Cr films

The damping of magnetic excitations is an essential point of interest in research and technical application of thin magnetic films. Therefore, electronic and structural influences of adjacent Cr-layer on the static and dynamic damping contribution in thin Fe-films were studied by Ferromagnetic Resonance (FMR). Not only for its spin-dependent transport properties [I] but also for fundamental aspects of the interaction at the interface between ferromagnetically (fm) and an antiferromagnetically (afm) ordered structures the system Fe/Cr is of importance [2].
