Ferromagnetic resonance in β-p-NPNN at radio-frequency region

We performed the low-temperature and radio-frequency (rf) ESR of spherically molded single crystals of β-p-NPNN in order to re-investigate the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). The symmetric FMR signals were clearly observed below 0.8 K for the first time. The resonance field for H//c is markedly shifted about 80 G higher than the EPR resonance field while the anisotropy of the resonance field is very weak when the magnetic field is applied within the ab-plane. These results clearly indicate the spin-hard axis is parallel to the c-axis. We estimate the magnetic anisotropy HK = 61 G using the FMR relation with uniaxial anisotropy.
