Abstract

Dynamic properties of arrays of rectangular bars were studied employing network analyzer ferromagnetic resonance and time-resolved magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) measurements. The bars were patterned on top of coplanar waveguides and oriented with their long axis either parallel or perpendicular to the external magnetic field. Orientation of the bars parallel to the field results in an increase in the resonant frequency by up to ∼2GHz, as well as the linewidth broadening by 0.3–1GHz. The shift is shown to be in agreement with results expected from the difference of demagnetizing factors. The general behavior of the linewidth corresponds to calculations including shape anisotropy; however, the experimentally measured effect is much stronger than expected from theory. Fourier transforms of the time-resolved MOKE signal reveal the presence of several oscillatory modes, associated with the dynamics in the central part and at the borders of ferromagnetic elements.
