Temperature dependent propagating spin-wave spectroscopy on permalloy thin films — •Thomas Schwarze, Florian Brandl, Rupert Huber, Sebastian Neusser, Georg Dürr, and Dirk Grundler — Lehrstuhl für Physik funktionaler Schichtsysteme, Technische Universität München, Physik Department, James-Franck-Straße 1, D-85747 Garching b.

The study of spin wave propagation in thin films is of great interest, both, fundamentally as well as technologically [1]. In order to get a deeper understanding of the underlying physics we apply broadband all-electrical spin-wave spectroscopy [2] to a thin permalloy film and address temperatures ranging from 4 to 400 K. The external magnetic field of up to 2.5 T is applied perpendicular to the film. We present a thorough study of the temperature dependent variation of the resonance field and frequency, the resonance linewidth, the Gilbert damping α, and group velocities. For each of the relevant parameters a distinct temperature dependence is found and will be discussed.
