The dynamic magnetic susceptibility of magnetic materials near ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) is very important in interpreting dc-voltage in electrical detection of FMR. Based on the causality principle and the assumption that the usual microwave absorption lineshape around FMR is Lorentzian, general forms of dynamic susceptibility of an arbitrary sample and the corresponding dc-voltage lineshape are obtained. Our main findings are: 1) The dynamic susceptibility is not a Polder tensor for material with arbitrary anisotropy. Two off-diagonal elements are not in general opposite to each other. However, the linear response coefficient of magnetization to total rf field is a Polder tensor. This may explain why two off-diagonal elements are always assumed to be opposite to each other in analyses. 2) The frequency dependence of dynamic susceptibility near FMR is fully characterized by six numbers while its field dependence is fully characterized by seven numbers. 3) A recipe of how to determine these numbers by standard microwave absorption measurements for an arbitrary sample is proposed. Our results allow one to unambiguously separate the contribution of the anisotropic magnetoresistance to dc-voltage from that of the anomalous Hall effect. With these results, one can reliably extract the information of spin pumping and the inverse spin Hall effect, and determine the spin-Hall angle. 4) The field-dependence of susceptibility matrix at a fixed frequency may have several peaks when the effective field is not monotonic of the applied field. In contrast, the frequency-dependence of susceptibility matrix at a fixed field has only one peak. Furthermore, in the case that resonance frequency is not sensitive to the applied field, the field dependence of susceptibility matrix, as well as dc-voltage, may have another non-resonance broad peak. Thus, one should be careful in interpreting observed peaks.

We describe electrical detection of spin pumping in metallic nanostructures. In the spin pumping effect, a precessing ferromagnet attached to a normal-metal acts as a pump of spin-polarized current, giving rise to a spin accumulation. The resulting spin accumulation induces a backflow of spin current into the ferromagnet and generates a dc voltage due to the spin dependent conductivities of the ferromagnet. The magnitude of such voltage is proportional to the spin-relaxation properties of the normal-metal. By using platinum as a contact material we observe, in agreement with theory, that the voltage is significantly reduced as compared to the case when aluminum was used. Furtheremore, the effects of rectification between the circulating rf currents and the magnetization precession of the ferromagnet are examined. Most significantly, we show that using an improved layout device geometry these effects can be minimized.
We address the theory of the coupled lattice and magnetization dynamics of freely suspended single-domain nanoparticles. Magnetic anisotropy generates low-frequency satellite peaks in the microwave absorption spectrum and a blueshift of the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) frequency. The low-frequency resonances are very sharp with maxima exceeding that of the FMR, because their magnetic and mechanical precessions are locked, thereby suppressing Gilbert damping. Magnetic nanoparticles can operate as nearly ideal motors that convert electromagnetic into mechanical energy. The Barnett/Einstein-de Haas effect is significant even in the absence of a net rotation.
Several experimental techniques have been introduced in recent years in attempts to measure spin transfer torque in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). The dependence of spin torque on bias is important for understanding fundamental spin physics in magnetic devices and for applications. However, previous techniques have provided only indirect measures of the torque and their results to date for the bias dependence are qualitatively and quantitatively inconsistent. Here we demonstrate that spin torque in MTJs can be measured directly by using time-domain techniques to detect resonant magnetic precession in response to an oscillating spin torque. The technique is accurate in the high-bias regime relevant for applications, and because it detects directly small-angle linear-response magnetic dynamics caused by spin torque it is relatively immune to artifacts affecting competing techniques. At high bias we find that the spin torque vector differs markedly from the simple lowest-order Taylor series approximations commonly assumed.
We demonstrate a technique of broadband spin torque ferromagnetic resonance (ST-FMR) with magnetic field modulation for measurements of spin wave properties in magnetic nanostructures. This technique gives great improvement in sensitivity over the conventional ST-FMR measurements, and application of this technique to nanoscale magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) reveals a rich spectrum of standing spin wave eigenmodes. Comparison of the ST-FMR measurements with micromagnetic simulations of the spin wave spectrum allows us to explain the character of low-frequency magnetic excitations in nanoscale MTJs.
We demonstrate excitation of ferromagnetic resonance in CoFeB/MgO/CoFeB magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) by the combined action of voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) and spin transfer torque (ST). Our measurements reveal that GHz-frequency VCMA torque and ST in low-resistance MTJs have similar magnitudes, and thus that both torques are equally important for understanding high-frequency voltage-driven magnetization dynamics in MTJs. As an example, we show that VCMA can increase the sensitivity of an MTJ-based microwave signal detector to the sensitivity level of semiconductor Schottky diodes.
