Studying the effect of biaxial anisotropy on nonlinear magnetization oscillations accompanying the 90° pulsed magnetization process in ferrite–garnet films with easy-plane anisotropy

Abstract

Time dependences of the azimuthal component of the torque T_φ(t) acting on magnetization are calculated to understand the nature of the delayed magnetization acceleration effect observed during the 90° pulsed magnetization of real ferrite–garnet films, in which biaxial anisotropy exists alongside with in-plane anisotropy. A calculation technique based on analyzing an operating point trajectory is used. Calculations show that if the effective anisotropy field H_K2 is comparable to the magnetizing pulse amplitude H_ma, abruptly ascending regions at characteristic times t* in curves T_φ(t) arise, in the limit of which nonlinear magnetization oscillations formed. The shape of these regions depends weakly on the magnetizing pulse front duration τ_f. This explains the reason of the weak dependence of the nonlinear magnetization oscillations on duration of the magnetizing pulse front. Calculations also show that the main features of the delayed acceleration effect are less clear upon an increase of the pulse amplitude: the behavior of curves T_φ(t) becomes smoother near times t*, and an increase in the pulse front duration is accompanied by a stronger drop in the intensity of magnetization oscillations.
