A very narrow ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) linewidth was obtained under specific film conditions. A sharp FMR peak was obtained for granular layer and insulator layer thicknesses of 6 and 1 nm, respectively. The CoFe/SiO(2) volume ratio of the granular layer has a strong influence on the FMR linewidth. A high CoFe/SiO(2) volume ratio resulted in a very narrow FMR linewidth. HR-TEM observation of a film with a high CoFe/SiO(2) volume ratio revealed a well-defined multilayer granular structure and a homogeneous CoFe grain size, which seem to be necessary for obtaining a very narrow FMR linewidth. The narrowest FMR linewidth observed in this study is 420 MHz, for an FMR frequency of 2.4 GHz, a permeability of 380, and a damping factor alpha of 0.007., Article, IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MAGNETICS. 45(10):4290-4293 (2009)}, pages = {4290--4293}, title = {CoFeSiO/SiO(2) Multilayer Granular Films With Very Narrow Ferromagnetic Resonant Linewidth}, volume = {45}, year = {2009} }
