Abstract
An integrated summary is given of some of the results and physical ideas contained in 16 experimental and theoretical papers on ferromagnetic resonance contributed to the 1960 Conference on Magnetism and Magnetic Materials. The topics discussed include the uniform mode and anisotropy, nonuniform magnetostatic and electromagnetic modes, spin-wave resonance, sublattice effects, paramagnetic “impurities,” spin-wave scattering, rapidly relaxing ions, determination of spin-wave transition probabilities, thermal relaxation, and the theory and use of the “parallel pump” method for measuring relaxation and exchange parameters. Although a complete review of ferromagnetic resonance is not intended, the emphasis is on an organization of this field and on the introductory and explanatory material presented with each topic.
