FMR in surface oxidized iron single crystals

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

Ferromagnetic resonance absorption has been observed at room temperature in iron single crystals of whisker type (grown along [100] direction). The surface of the samples has been oxidized in air at 760 Torr at approx. 350 °C for periods up to 240 min. With the increasing degree of oxidation the resonance linewidth broadens and the resonance field shifts to lower values. Moreover, in oxidized samples an additional resonance peak situated above, the main resonance occurs, with intensity, position and linewidth depending on the period of oxidation. The ferrimagnetic resonance absorption in the iron oxide surface layer could be responsible for the occurence of this peak.
