Thickness and temperature dependence of the magnetodynamic damping of pulsed laser deposited La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 on (111)-oriented SrTiO3

We have investigated the magnetodynamic properties of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) films of thickness 10, 15 and 30 nm grown on (111)-oriented SrTiO3 (STO) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) experiments were performed in the temperature range 100–300 K, and the magnetodyna...

Sumario:We have investigated the magnetodynamic properties of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) films of thickness 10, 15 and 30 nm grown on (111)-oriented SrTiO3 (STO) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) experiments were performed in the temperature range 100–300 K, and the magnetodynamic damping parameter α was extracted as a function of both film thickness and temperature. We found that the damping is lowest for the intermediate film thickness of 15 nm with α≈2·10−3, where α is relatively constant as a function of temperature well below the Curie temperature of the respective films.
