Broadband strip-line ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy of soft magnetic CoFeTaZr patterned thin films by Jin, Tian Li, Nongjai, R., Asokan, K., Ghosh, A., Aparnadevi, M., Suri, P., Piramanayagam, S. N., Gupta, Surbhi, Kumar, Durgesh

“…In this paper, magnetic and magnetization dynamic properties of compositionally patterned Co46Fe40Ta9Zr5 thin films are investigated. A combination of self-assembly and ion-implantation was employed to locally alter the composition of Co46Fe40Ta9Zr5 thin film in a periodic manner. 20 keV O+ and 60 keV N+ ions were implanted at different doses in order to modify the magnetization dynamic properties of the samples in a controlled fashion. …”
