Individual Scientific Project 390-ERS-IPN

The aim of this course is to understand the physical foundations of electron paramagnetic resonance and ferromagnetic resonance. After familiarizing themselves with the electron paramagnetic resonance measurement setup, students independently measure ferromagnetic resonance spectra, measuring the dependence of microwave absorption as a function of the magnetic field H, for a selected series of thin magnetic layers composed of cobalt, platinum, rhenium, or tungsten. Students determine the dependence of resonance fields and FMR linewidths as a function of the angle between the magnetic field and the surface of the tested sample. From the angular dependence of the resonance field, they determine the magnetic anisotropy field.
