摘要
The magnetization of a Co disk with an in-plane flux-closure domain structure was subject to a picosecond magnetic field pulse perpendicular to the plane. Images with sub-micron spatial resolution have been recorded every 10 ps which reveal magnetic non-uniformities of the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) response. A detailed analysis of the images shows a difference in the FMR frequencies of about 10% as a function of radius, In addition, the magnetization at the edge responds earlier to the applied field pulse. We discuss possible origins of these phenomena. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
