Tuning the Ferromagnetic Resonance Frequency of Microstructured Permalloy Film on Flexible Substrate

The importance of flexible ferromagnetic films in the application of flexible spintronic devices and microwave magnetic devices underscores the necessity for an in‐depth understanding of the dynamic magnetic properties of these films. In particular, it is crucial to comprehend the regulation of the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) frequency of flexible ferromagnetic films. This work outlines the preparation of periodic permalloy microstrip arrays with stripe domain on flexible PET films and applies them to linearly tune the FMR. The high‐frequency optical branch (5.17 GHz) and low‐frequency acoustic branch (2.89 GHz) are observed in the direction perpendicular ( x ‐direction) and parallel ( y ‐direction) to the microstrip, respectively. The Young's modulus mismatch between the PET film and permalloy layer leads to the directional distribution of local tension. This results in the enhancement of the H t (219.4 Oe) required for the in‐plane uniform precession on the PET film, compared to that on the Si substrate (181.6 Oe). By adjusting the width and thickness of the permalloy microstrip, H t can be adjusted linearly on the PET film. This flexible ferromagnetic film with linear regulation of FMR frequency presents a new option for the future development of flexible microwave detectors and filters.
