Abstract
AbstractUnderstanding the origin and mechanisms of magnetic damping in complex oxide materials is crucial for optimizing spin dynamics and tailoring their properties for specific spintronic applications. Ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy (FMR) technique has been used to investigate the magnetic damping of multiple La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 (LSMO) epitaxial thin films with similar thickness and identical DC magnetic properties. However, the dynamic magnetic properties exhibit noticeable variations among samples. Microstructural analyses using X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), confirm that the samples are structurally identical, except for minute differences in the miscut angles of the substrates. Nevertheless, when examining the samples using backscattered electron (BSE) images in scanning electron microscopy (SEM), significant disparities in the twin distribution are observed. These variations in the twin distribution directly correlate with the observed differences in the damping values. A careful image analysis of BSE images allows to demonstrate that the increase of damping is due to the pinning of the magnetization in the twin boundaries.
