Abstract

Electron spin resonance experiments at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths have been performed on the randomly mixed antiferromagnet with competing spin anisotropies, Fe (1− x) Co x Br 2. Two antiferromagnetic resonance (AFMR) modes and extra resonances have been observed in the Co-rich concentration region. From the analysis of the AFMR, the anisotropy in the mixtures is shown to become small with concentration. This is a clear evidence for the competition of the anisotropies in these alloys. The extra modes are qualitatively explained as arising from a localized excitation of an Fe 2+ spin.
