Abstract
The room-temperature magnetic resonance spectra of metal–insulator (CoFeB)x(LiNbO3)100 – x and (CoFeB)x(Al2O3)100 – x nanogranular composite films with various ferromagnetic metallic phase contents x near the percolation threshold are investigated. The systems under study are characterized by a high concentration of paramagnetic ions dispersed in an insulator matrix between ferromagnetic granules. In addition to a usual ferromagnetic resonance signal, these films are found to exhibit an additional absorption peak in weak fields. In contrast to the usual ferromagnetic resonance excited by a transverse high-frequency magnetic field, the additional peak demonstrates a weak dependence of its amplitude on the resonance excitation geometry. The position of this peak depends on the composition of the system, the resonance excitation frequency (f = 7–38 GHz), and the magnetic field orientation with respect to the film plane. This behavior is associated with the paramagnetic resonance of Fe3+ ions, which are present in the insulator matrix and interact with ferromagnetic granules.

Notes
The small shift of the absorption peak (~30 Oe) caused by a change in the external field orientation φH can be associated with the presence of a small induced growth anisotropy in the film plane (Fig. 2b). This effect, however, is weak and may be neglected in the future in comparison with the stronger effects under study.
Chosen function (4) has “appropriate” properties, which are characteristic of experimental 4πM(H) dependences: its derivative is 1 at zero field and approaches saturation as 1/Hn – 1 at higher H. At n → ∞, function (4) describes the behavior of an “ideal” FM film with sharp saturation in field HS.
