Abstract
X-ray detected ferromagnetic resonance (XFMR) has recently emerged as a powerful synchrotron-radiation-based tool able to study the element-selective magnetization dynamics. Magnetic and chemical contrast in XFMR is obtained by X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), while the phase difference between the magnetization precessions is monitored using stroboscopic probing. A unique property of time-resolved XFMR is the visualization of the magnetization precession for each individual layer in a magnetic device. Measurement of the amplitude and phase response of the magnetic layers gives a clear signature of spin-transfer torque (STT) coupling between ferromagnetic layers due to spin pumping.
