DETERMINATION OF MAGNETIC ANISOTROPY CONSTANTS FOR BUBBLE GARNET EPITAXIALFILMS USING FIELD ORIENTATION DEPENDENCE IN FERROMAGNETIC RESONANCES

Hiroshi Makino and Yasuharu Hidaka Basic Technology Research Laboratories, Nippon Electric Co., Ltd., l-l, Miyazaki 4-chome, Takatsu-ku, Kawasaki 213, Japan (Received May 27, 1981; Communicated by M. Nakahira)

ABSTRACT Cubic magnetoerystalline anisotropy constant K i as well as uniaxial anisotropy constant Ku and gyromagnetic ratio Y are precisely determined for (Ill) magnetic garnet epitaxial films from measurements on FMR field orientation dependence. Strict FMR conditions are derived from total free energy expressions, where the differences between magnetization direction and applied field direction are taken into consideration. By applying magnetic field in (~10) plane, FMR is measured to obtain the three best fitting parameters of K I , Ku and ¥. Present analysis is compared with Cronemeyer et al's analysis. Influence of sample misalignment on measurement accuracy is also presented. Similarly, for (ll0) garnet films with orthorhombic magnetic anisotropy, measurements are carried out for two crystallographic planes of (001) and (l~0), and the four best fitting parameters of KI , Ku , Aand ¥ are determined.

Introduction S e v e r a l t e c h n i q u e s are in c o m m o n use for the d e t e r m i n a t i o n of both u n i a x i a l

magnetic anisotropy constant (Ku) and cubic anisotropy constant ( K I ) for magnetic garnet films. Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) (1,2), torquemeter (3), optical magnetometer (4-6) and magnetic hysteresisgraph (2) are example methods for such measurements. From the measurement accuracy viewpoint, FMR measurement is one of the most suitable methods. Especially, in contiguous disk (CD) high density bubble memory devices, KI is a very important material parameter to be measured accurately, because charged wall propagation mechanism is closely related to the KI value (7). Double layered structure is often used in CD devices, Using FMR, magnetic anisotropies for both drive-layer and bubble-layer garnets in such a composite structure are separately measurable. In addition, FMR is suitable for the characterization of anisotropy changes induced by ion-implantation, which is a key process in fabricating CD devices. Other important material parameters, such as damping parameter ( ~ ) and gyromagnetic ratio ( Y ), can be obtained simultaneously by FMR. 957

This paper describes an accurate method for determining magnetic anisotropy constants (KI and Ku) as well as Y, when 4~ Ms value is known. In order to obtain both K I and K. values for (Ill) films, FMR field orientation dependence must be measureG in addition to perpendicular and parallel resonances. Analytical equations to calculate FMR field orientation dependence for the (Ill) bubble garnet films were reported by Cronemeyer et al. (1) and the equation is applied for determinng KI and Ku values of garnet films for use in CD devices (2). However, Cronemeyer et al's paper does not show the exact solution to evaluate the discrepancy between applied field and magnetization directions. For X-band electron spin resonance, magnetization equilibrium direction does not coincide, in general, with the applied field direction, except for perpendicular and parallel resonances. In the present paper, the total free energy expression was employed to derive more strict FMR condition. The discrepancy between magnetization equilibrium direction and applied field direction are taken into consideration because the discrepancy greatly affects the KI value accuracy. For (lll) garnets, three material parameters, such as KI , Ku and y , were determined by the best fitting method. In addition, using the same technique, analytial equations were derived for the (ll0) oriented garnet films with orthorhombic magnetic anisotropies. In (ll0) films, measurements were carried out in two planes; i.e., magnetic fields were applied both within (001) and (ll0) planes. For (ll0) films, KI , K u, A and y values were determined by the best fitting method, where Ku is anisotropy constant between [U0] and [001], and A is the in-plane anisotropy constant. Resonance Conditions for (ill) Films Ferromagnetic resonance condition can be given by

When M is known, K t , Ku, ~ and 0 are unknown parameters in Eq.(4). Experimental ~ata has been analyzed, making use of a computer program based on the following procedure. (i)

H o e x p ) 2). By changing K 1 , Z (error) 2 is calculated. Since E (error) 2 is a p~F~ibolie function of K~ , as shown in Fig. 3(c), it is easy to find the best fitting combination of K1 , Ku and "f, which gives minimum E (error) 2 (iv)

In order to eliminate sample misalignment effect (i.e., setting error for 6 ), the input H s data are shifted backwards or forwards using the Lagrange interpolation formula.

FMR Field Orientation Dependence for Bubble Garnet Films In this section, application of the above mentioned analytical equations is described for evaluating magnetic anisotropy constants and gyromagnetic ratio. Figure 2 shows the measured plots for the resonance field orientation dependence, as well as calculated curves for K z =0, -3000, -5250, -6000 and -9000 erg/cm 3 . The material is (GdSmTmCa)3 (FeGe)5 O12 (4~ Ms=640 G) grown on (Ill) Gd3 Gas O12 substrate, which has been developed for use in drive layer material in double layered CD devices (10). In every theoretical calculation curves, y is chosen so that H at both 0° o . res . ( H / / [ l l l ] , film normal) and at 90 (H//[t12], in-plane) are in agreement w i t h expemmental values. In Fig. 2, angle discrepancy between DC magnetic field direction and equilibrium magnetization direction, 8 - (9, as a function of 6 is also shown, which is calculated by using best f i t t i n g material parameters of K u =28950 erg/cm 3 , K t =-5250 erg/cm 3 and c0 / y =4210 Oe. Figures 3(a) and 3(b) show the combination of K 1 , K u and ~ / y which satisfy both H . and H / / . Figure 3(c) is ~ (error) as a function of K1 • By determining the most sui'table parameters of K 1 , K u and ~( , E (error) 2 can be minimized down to several hundreds Oe 2 for summation of 18 points ( 0 ° ~ 170° by 10° step). Sample misalignment is another important f a c t o r which determines the accuracy for best fitting p a r a m e t e r s . A few degrees misalignment results in a different set of fitting p a r a m e t e r s . Figure 4 shows how the sample misalignment a f f e c t s the "best fitting" combinations for K 1, K u and ¥ . Two degree misalignment causes 10% error in K 1 • Therefore, measured Hre s set as a function of field orientation is required to be shifted to or from by a few de~rees to find best fitting p a r a m e t e r s which give absolutely minimum E ( e r r o r ) 2 . On the other hand it is not difficult to set samples such that the rotation axis coincides with [-110] (or H is exactly applied in ('110)). As shown in Fig. 2, angle discrepancy 6 - 0 is as large as 4 degrees for 6=40* and =140° for this sample. If the angle discrepancy is ignored and if the present best fitting p a r a m e t e r s (Ku=28950 erg/cm 3 , K I =-5250 e r g / c m ~ and ~/~f=4210 Oe) are directly substituted into C r o n e m e y e r et al's equation, 2K 2K 1 { H - ( - ~ - u - 4~ Ms) . a ( e ' ) - - ~ - - b ( e ' ) } S

On the contrary, if Eq. (7) is used to find best fitting parameters by ignoring the angle discrepancy, one can get another set of parameters (Ku =29200 erg/cm3 , KI =-4270 erg/cm 3 and 0~/Y=4190 Oe). However, the crossed marks in Fig. 5 do not coincide with experimental plots perfectly, while the present analysis (solid dots) gave perfect coincidence.

field orientation dependence for (110) films

(110) garnet films exhibit orthorhombie magnetic anisotropy in addition to cubic magnetoerystalline ani_sotropy. Therefore, resonance field orientation dependence should be measured for both 010) and (001) planes. As shown in Fig. 6, when D C magnetic field is applied in the (1i0) plane, which contains [110] (film normal) and [001] (in-plane), the total free energy is expressed by;

Using almost similar calculation procedure to that in the analysis for (Ill) films, the best fitting parameters can be obtained for Ki , Ku , Aand y , when magnetization M s is known. Examples of analysis for (110) garnet films with orthorhombie magnetic anisotropy are shown in Figs. 8 and 9. The materials are (EuLa)a (FeAIGa)5 O12 grown on (110) Nd3 Gas O12 and (YTmBi)3 (FeGa)5 O12 on (H0) Gd3 Gas O12 substrates, respectively (13,14). For (EuLa)3 (FeAIGa)5 O12/(II0)NdGG, the best fitting parameters yie.ld negative h and negative K I , while K u is positive. Easy axis is [110] because K u + ~- KI - 2 ~ M s 2 > 0 a n d K u + A -KI -2~Ms2 > 0. Medium axis is along[flfll] and the hard axis is [Ii0]. Due to relatively large I K i , as compared to Ku and A, a canting of the easy axis towards [111] (easy axis for e u b i e magnetoerystalline anisotropy) is observed (13), when growth temperature is raised. Fig. 9 is an example where A > O. [" K i [ is very small, hence, this material shows almost "true" orthorhombie magnetie anisotropy.

Conclusion Cubic magnetocrystalline anisotropy, KI , is one of the most important material parameters for contiguous disk bubble memory devices. An accurate method for determining KI as well as uniaxial anisotropy Ku was presented by analyzing asymmetric dependence of FMR H on field orientation B. In the present analysis, angle discrepancy between magneuzauon and applied field directions are strictly taken into consideration, and perfect coincidence was obtained between experimental and calculated Hres values. Present analysis was compared with Cronemeyeret al's equation. The importance of angle discrepancy was shown. Also, the influence of sample misalignment on measurement accuracy was presented. For (U0) garnet films with orthorhombic anisotropy, the four best fitting parameters of KI , Ku, A and ¥ are acculately determined, using similar techniques.
