Magnons, the quanta of spin-waves, also exist in paramagnetic materials and are known as paramagnons. Paramagnon properties are governed by the exchange interactions, which do not vanish above Curie/Neel temperature and the dipolar interactions. Here we present our results on the investigation of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy in gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG) and DPPH bulk slabs in a wide range of temperatures down to 20 mK. GGG is one of the materials of choice, as Gd3+ ions have a large spin S = 7/2 and its saturation magnetization is about Ms = 800 kA/m. Millikelvin temperatures allow reaching the saturation of the GGG magnetization, by applying magnetic fields of hundreds mT. However, the EPR linewidth of GGG is strongly influenced by the phenomenon of dipolar broadening, while DPPH is known to have a very narrow resonance line. These studies form an initial step toward investigations of long-propagating paramagnons.
