Abstract
Initial longitudinal permeability /spl mu//sub i/ and rf signal propagation as a function of angular frequency /spl omega/ are examined in terms of spin-lattice interactions that manifest themselves as relaxation time /spl tau/ and anisotropy energy density K/sub 1/. Domain-wall resonance is analyzed as a classical damped harmonic oscillation forced by longitudinal coupling between magnetization vectors and an alternating magnetic drive field. Gyromagnetic effects from transverse drive fields are reviewed in the context of Snoek's permeability-frequency limits. To explain the observed overlap of longitudinal and transverse regions the physical connection between the longitudinal relaxation frequency and the gyromagnetic resonance frequency is described. Guidelines for extending the permeability and frequency limits of unmagnetized ferrites are: 1) for high /spl mu//sub i/, employ large-grain multiple-domain ferrites with low-K/sub 1//high-/spl tau/ combinations and 2) for high /spl omega/, create small-grain single-domain media with high K/sub 1/ and low /spl tau/. At microwave frequencies, the lower edge of the gyromagnetic resonance region can overlap the decay of /spl mu//sub i/, except in cases where the very high anisotropy of hexagonal ferrites is used for millimeter wavelengths.
