Condition of resonance and in-plane angular dependence of Hres for a magnetic film with uniaxial anisotropy and magnetocrystalline anisotropy

 

In polar coordinate, H. Suhl [H. Suhl, Phys. Rev. 97, 555 (1954)] derived the following expression for the condition of resonance:

                       

This equation is based on the LL equation of motion. In the original Equation, there is a factor , which can be dismissed since the damping constant .  The total magnetic energy is composed of:

        + The Zeeman energy 

        + The uniaxial anisotropy and magnetocrystalline anisotropy energies, which takes the form [ref. Yu et al., J. Appl. Phys. 85 (8) (1999)]:

                

where is the angle of the magnetization versus the direction of easy magnetization.

        + The magnetostatic energy:

                

The figure below shows the geometry of the different axis and the definition of the angles.

 



The components of the vector magnetization are: 
                     
and that of the bias field are

                      .
Note that the field vector is set to remain in the film plane.


From the Equation of Smit Suhl and the magnetic energy density, one get:








+ FOR THE FIELD ALONG THE EASY AXIS [001]:

In that configuration,   and the condition of resonance is:

                     

+ MAGNETIZATION DIRECTION EQUILIBRIUM

The direction of equilibrium of the magnetization in the film plane is given by:    with  . Hence:
