Spatially resolved observation of uniform precession modes in spin-valve systems
Using time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy the excitation of uniform precession modes in individual domains of a weakly coupled spin-valve system has been studied. A coupling dependence of the precession frequencies has been found that can be reasonably well understood on the basis of a macrospin model. By tuning the frequency of the excitation source the uniform precession modes are excited in a resonant way.
