We have investigated the magnetic properties of Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) thin films using Time Domain Ferromagnetic Resonance (FMR). The sample is placed on a coplanar waveguide and a voltage step is used to induce a precession of the magnetization in the sample which is then detected by the induced voltage. A second voltage step which can be applied with variable time delay allows us to coherently control the precession. With suitable delay times the amplitude of the precession can either be maximized or the precession can be completely stopped. This method allows for a very precise investigation of the precession dynamics. The high quality of the YIG films (best FMR linewidth 2 Oe @ 9.6 GHz) permits us to observe the precession over a time of more than 50 ns (for comparison: Permalloy shows a precession over 5 ns). Our experiments are supported by micromagnetic dynamic simulations using OOMMF and MuMax2 which nicely confirm our experimental results.
