Individual Experimental Project 390-FS2-2IPD

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 of cobalt surrounded by platinum, rhenium, or tungsten. Students determine the dependence of the resonance fields and FMR linewidth 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.

Term 2024:

1. Understanding the basics of paramagnetic resonance in classical and quantum descriptions.
2. Learning how to operate an EPR spectrometer to determine the resonance field of cobalt thin magnetic film samples.
3. Determining the dependence of the Hr resonance field and the deltaH resonance line width on the orientation of the cobalt film relative to the magnetic field.
4. Determining the magnetic anisotropy field of a series of thin magnetic films tested in the environment of transition metals such as iridium and platinum.
