摘要
We propose an intrinsic mechanism for ferromagnetic relaxation in thin films that can dominate competing linear mechanisms even for rapidly relaxing metals. In particular, we use an analytic theory of four-magnon scattering to demonstrate rapid decay for technologically important systems involving high moment materials subject to large rotations. A micromagnetic simulation is used to verify the results.
