The spin dynamics between two ultrathin ferromagnetic layers (Ni, Co) exchange coupled via a nonmagnetic Cu spacer of a few monolayers is studied using in situ ferromagnetic resonance. The angular and the temperature dependence of the linewidth shows pronounced changes that can be understood assuming the presence of an additional Gilbert damping resulting from a spin-current pumped through the interface between the ferromagnetic and nonmagnetic layers and by considering the dynamical part of the interlayer exchange coupling. In contrast to investigations on Fe films decoupled by thick Au spacers [1] the effect of the interlayer exchange coupling on this phenomenon is presented here. The competition between the Gilbert damping inherent in the ferromagnetic film and the Gilbert damping developed by the interface leads to an irregular behavior of the temperature dependence of the resonance linewidth for both the in-phase and out-of-phase precessing modes. It is shown that the oscillatory nature of the coupling is also revealed in the dependence of the resonance linewidth Δ H on the spacer thickness. Supported by the DFG (Sfb 290, TP A2).
