Description

Employing a broadband microwave reflection configuration, we have measured the complex surface impedance, $Z_S(ω,T,H)$, of single crystal La$_{0.8}$Sr$_{0.2}$MnO$_3$, as a function of frequency (0.045-45 GHz), temperature (250-325 K), and magnetic field (0-1.9 kOe). The microwave surface impedance depends not only on the resistivity of the material, but also on the magnetic permeability, $\hatμ(ω,T,H)$, which gives rise to ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) and ferromagnetic anti-resonance (FMAR). The broadband nature of this experiment allows us to follow the FMR to low frequency and to deduce the behavior of both the local internal fields and the local magnetization in the sample.
