A non-resonant microwave teclmique has been employed for the determination of saturation magnetisation (4rrMs) and g-factor of pure and Gd-doped single crystal YIG spheres yielding accurate values. It was found that 4"trM 8 = 1720-1751 g for undoped and 1595 g for 10~ Gd-doped YIG spheres while gett = 2.00-2.0039. The advantages of this method are simplicity and complete absence of propagation corrections necessary in cavity resonance experiments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
